James Gunn has confirmed who will play the villain in Supergirl – And opened to the importance of Jason Momoa’s lobo in the upcoming DC Universe (DCU) films.
In a broad interview on section 15 of the official DC Studios podcast, Gunn revealed that Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts will produce Krem.
For the uninitiated: Krem is the big bad in ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’, is an eight-part graphic novel series, such as the second DCU movie released on June 26, 2026, is strongly inspired by. Actually the film wore the title of his cartoon -names brother until recently, where Gunn admits Supergirl: Tomorrow Woman was now known by its much simpler and cleaner title Supergirl.
But back to Krem. Last October claimed Deadline Schoenaerts had been thrown as the film’s scary antagonist, but it is only now that Gunn has admitted The regime and Amsterdam Star is part of its role crew. For more details of everyone else you will see in Kara Zor-Eel’s first feature film excursion of over 40 years (the first, 1984’s Supergirlis available for stream at Max, FYI), check out my dedicated Supergirl guide.
These are not the only interesting information Gunn discussed. In fact, DC Studios Co chief also gave more details of why Milly Alcock was thrown as Supergirl, how director Craig Gillespie positively struggled to include certain scenes in the superhero’s flick, and the initial text Jason Momoa sent to Gunn to persuade him to let Momoa play Lobo.
It is a continuation of the last conversation that will enable DC -enthusiasts. As co-host/comic book expert coy jandreau mentioned during the latest rate of the podcast, the original draft of Supergirl: Tomorrow Woman‘s eight-part literary series was set to contain the immortal, motorcycle-ridden bounty hunter. Tom King, who wrote the graphic novel, confirmed that this was the case in an interview with Comicbook.com in February 2023.
Given the lobo to appear in King and Bilqui’s Evely’s cartoon before he was finally cut from the story, plus the fact that Momoa will play the last surviving Czarnian in SupergirlLandreau asked if the upcoming DCU -Chapter 1 movie would incorporate “some of [comics’] Original draft ideas ”about how lobo fits into the story that Supergirl will tell.
“Woman tomorrowIn the comics, a bunch of little stories are, “said Gunn,” and we had to create a through-line, a three-act, more traditional story. So Lobo helps us to do so.
“It’s not a merger of him and cream,” Gunn added of rumors that lobo and cream would somehow be combined into a single character. “He [Lobo] is a completely separate character. I love lobo. I always thought he was a great character to adapt and maybe somehow the biggest cartoon character who has never been in a movie. So I think it was a cool thing to do [include him in Supergirl]yes. “
Are you glad that lobo is in Supergirl? And what are you doing from Schoenaerts playing his most important villain? Tell me that in the comments.
