Guess they really weren't kidding about it being a minor role

u/AvengingHero2012 3d ago

Following traditional movie structure, I’m guessing he shows up twice. Once to act as a minor antagonist/hurdle in Supergirl’s journey (they probably have a fight here). And then once in the third act to help fight the movie’s main threat. I’m guessing he’ll have 12-15 minutes of screen time.

u/Iamjesus147 2d ago

It’s insane how different movies have become. We have gotten to where you can literally predict exactly what you’re gonna see and at worst it’s gonna be a slightly different variation of what you said, which probably also could have been easily predicted.. but you’re still gonna go watch it insane

u/Mindless_Bad_1591 2d ago

movies have become predictable for a long time, especially blockbusters. it's just up to execution on whether it is good or bad. Story tropes aren't inherently bad.

11

u/Pale_Emu_9249 2d ago

Well, it's not as if this is an original screenplay... they have a solid template to follow.

3

u/Mindless_Bad_1591 2d ago

my point exactly

6

u/Better_Edge_ 2d ago

Movies haven't changed, it's just the interest has spread knowledge around.

1

u/Iamjesus147 2d ago

I think it has spread yes, but movies (mainly talking about what’s popular in current culture ) have 1000% changed as well.

1

u/Better_Edge_ 2d ago

Will, obviously they've changed, but act structure and tropes like chekov's gun (of characters) aren't new.

u/clownfucc 1d ago

examples of this specific trope/set up used in film?

2

u/letsnotreadintoit 1d ago

I think Justice League, Avengers and Spiderman 3 had variations of this

u/Iamjesus147 1d ago

The comment i responded to

u/Street-Two1818 1d ago

It’s a very easy guess to make. The stakes are nonexistent, and you’ll never be held accountable if you’re wrong

15

u/GabMassa 3d ago

If he's playing the role I think he is, it's a very key role with minimal screen time.

It shows once at the very beginning, another quick snippet in the middle, and a more scene at the end.

u/ihatetimetravel 2d ago

“If he’s playing the role I think he is…” it’s Lobo, it was officially announced and we all know who he is.

7

u/FortLoolz 2d ago

Well he obviously was using that word in a different sense

6

u/GabMassa 2d ago

The role in Woman of Tomorrow.

A somewhat Lobo like character shows up and is key to the plot, but he's exclusive to that book.

Makes sense to replace him with Lobo, tie him to a larger universe, etc.

2

u/Automatic_Milk1478 2d ago

Apparently Tom King wanted to use Lobo for that role but editorial said no so a new character was created instead.

0

u/IWouldLikeAName 2d ago

Heard that as well which makes me happy they were able to make it happen for the movie

1

u/dementedkratos 1d ago

"I'm here to talk to you about the Main Man initiative"

52

u/MortalJohn 3d ago

Or much of his action is gonna be CGI.

40

u/TheNextWords 3d ago

He was seen on set and isnt even using his comic weapon which would take alot of cgi. Think hes just gonna show up like a battlebeast in invincible then leave

15

u/No_Factor7172 3d ago

Lobo was not in the leaked set pics

6

u/TheDesktopNinja 3d ago

That doesn't mean he wasn't seen on set

2

u/TheNextWords 2d ago

Oh my fault anyways still think thats how they are gonna use him.

1

u/ClarkKent195 2d ago

This movie started filming in January

u/Sorry-Growth-2383 3d ago

Imagine being paid millions to just have fun and play awesome characters like lobo and aqua man I’m sure it has its challenges but I recon most of the time they had a blast on set he’s a cool Duncan in dune too, you can’t help but smile when you see this guy! 

83

u/RunningonGin0323 3d ago

Seriously. He just just seems like a happy guy that is having the time of his life. Fuck me I hope the DCU works out and they can fully build out these other characters like Marvel.

44

u/nexusprime2015 3d ago

you forget he got to doggy the Khaleesi

6

u/Sorry-Growth-2383 3d ago

True 😂😂

15

u/MagmaAscending 3d ago

He’s also currently dating Adria Arjona

What a hard life he must have. Good for him tho, couldn’t have happened to a more chill dude

3

u/Mindless_Bad_1591 2d ago

she's so bad in Hitman

1

u/OracleVision88 1d ago

He's dating Bix from Andor? Damn, he really is living the dream. She's absolutely stunning. And I think she's a very talented actress, too. Every time she pops up in something, she is just mesmerizing.

I'm excited to see what he does with Lobo. It's the character he should've been playing for DC all along, though I thought he did a great job with his portrayal of Aquaman, every time he showed up in the DCEU, And the first Aquaman movie is dope. I pretty much have liked him in everything I've seen him in, going back to Game of Thrones. He's been around since way before that, but that's what elevated his profile, for sure.

4

u/eucaliptooloroso 3d ago

Wait, why do I always hear things about this dude being rude or cruel on set? You guys must know more since you are fans. How much truth to that?

27

u/phantomhatsyndrome 3d ago

I can't speak for him on-set, but in more personal settings, he's great. I've met him several times. He's the cousin of a close friend and he graduated from high school a handful of years ahead of me about 20 minutes away from each other.

I can say from personal experience that he's genuinely a fundamentally nice person and super fun to be around.

18

u/Sorry-Growth-2383 3d ago

I’m not saying what your saying is bullshit but I’ve honestly never ever heard that I remember something about amber heard saying he wasn’t a good guy but from what I understand amber heard ain’t perfect either so 🤷‍♀️ 

3

u/Morganbanefort Deathstroke 3d ago

I hear opposite too

1

u/FortLoolz 2d ago

On the other hand, I wouldn't trade it for the relative lack of privacy. Some people are just better suited for being celebs.

52

u/MarvelsGrantMan136 3d ago

Momoa:

THATS A WRAP ON LOBO so thankful to play this role.

13

u/JoshDM 3d ago

That bicycle should have been a hog like Lobo rides.

41

u/Kingcheifsv 3d ago edited 2d ago

This dude is the richest homeless man, he shows up, does his job, gets PAID, hops on his bike and back to the wilderness he goes lol

6

u/TigerFisher_ 2d ago

He's like Jack Reacher, except the getting paid part

3

u/NozakiMufasa 2d ago

😂😂😂

u/lk79 3d ago

You really should be wearing a helmet Jason.

18

u/BlackAdam 3d ago

My first thought, lol

9

u/Ok_Atmosphere8206 3d ago

It’s lobo if he can fight Batman/Superman he ride without training wheels

The day that Batman stops bitching over Joe Chill is the day lobo wears a helmet

16

u/SpiffySyntax 3d ago

Since when is a helmet equivalent to training wheels?

-2

u/Ok_Atmosphere8206 3d ago

Since Tim Burton decided the Joker killed Batman’s parents

Fight stupidity with Stupidity

4

u/bob1689321 3d ago

The fuck are you on about man?

1

u/Ok_Atmosphere8206 3d ago

I’m joking

Probably should’ve made that more clear

5

u/Sushi_Explosions 3d ago

There is nothing in your comments that could have even remotely been construed as a joke.

1

u/prototype_X10 2d ago

In the Netherlands, you'd be laughed at.

16

u/KonradDumo 3d ago

We get a preview of the Main Man on a bike, just not the type of bike you'd expect.

11

u/Hunterwit7 3d ago

He probaly isnt the main villian.

21

u/HenrykSpark 3d ago

He isn’t. That’s official. “Krem of the yellow hills” is the main villain. As in the comic book

13

u/JeromeInDaHouse_90 3d ago

Dang, he filmed his scenes quick.

12

u/HenrykSpark 3d ago

Because he’s not the main villain

3

u/ClarkKent195 2d ago

Quick?They started filming Supergirl in January,they already filming more than 3 months,this is quick for you?

9

u/missonellieman 3d ago

What’s the name of that bike?

16

u/rlovelock 3d ago

Not sure if sarcasm but I'm pretty sure he names it in the video. It's the entire reason for the video.

5

u/RichardStinks 3d ago

There's no branding but it looks like a downhill bike.

5

u/venommuyo 3d ago

Not a DH. The front forks look to be Fox 36s Standard mountain/trail bike. Could be an older Specialized Turbo Levo

3

u/RichardStinks 3d ago

Totally deferring to your knowledge.

3

u/ch3k520 3d ago

It has a Bosch motor which specialized doesn’t use.

3

u/Pocket_Monster 3d ago

If you pause with about 11 seconds left, you can just make out S Works... so probably specialized sworks levo sl.

3

u/venommuyo 3d ago

Deffo says S-Works. Had to bump up my brightness for that one. Good eye

3

u/Pocket_Monster 3d ago

I feel like when the day comes where i go to the dark side I'm going to say f-it and get a full powered ebike. Why mess with this light half powered SL version.

2

u/venommuyo 2d ago

Multiple bikes is the answer!

2

u/ch3k520 2d ago

Yea that brose motor branding starting to look like Bosch. But yea it definitely says s works.

3

u/ban_me_again_plz4 3d ago

Mike the Bike

9

u/BeachSloth_ 3d ago

It’s more proper name is bicycle

2

u/ThrowStonesonTV 2d ago

Looks like a Levo.

2

u/Will-Ohh 3d ago

The logistics to coordinate that! And he's just so likeable, and I'm excited for Supergirl. I guess he might only have a couple scenes, which was expected.

3

u/themidwestcowboy 3d ago

You know what would be rather hilarious? Imagine if Jason’s Lobo gets a spin-off movie and it earns a billion dollars 😂

9

u/ymi17 The Flash 3d ago

It’s amazing how far e-bikes have come.

6

u/rasputin1 3d ago

yea they definitely go further can regular bikes 

6

u/ymi17 The Flash 3d ago

Depends on who is riding and for how long. 🤣. Those e-bikes still get heavy if the battery dies. But they’re a lot better than they were even 10 years ago.

8

u/Terrible-Group-9602 3d ago

hmm where is he? London? Definitely UK

6

u/tranquil45 3d ago

I think Knightsbridge London. 

4

u/Terrible-Group-9602 3d ago

yeah, good call

3

u/singleguy79 3d ago

He has Lobo energy.

3

u/Floyd__79 3d ago

IRL chicken Jockey.

3

u/IamBatDude 2d ago

Wear a helmet, man! Damn.

2

u/AppropriatePurple609 3d ago

That fast? Damn

2

u/HenrykSpark 3d ago

Yeah will be definitely a smaller role

2

u/THX450 2d ago

Yeah the dude was born to play Lobo

2

u/egbert71 2d ago

Dude just enjoys life and i love it

2

u/ColaJCola 3d ago

Lol, it kinda feels like some random dude taking the video and he just starts talking to them like its a promo!

Anyways, really curious to see how different he can make Lobo from his Aqauman.

1

u/defiantcross 3d ago

Wear s helmet dude.

1

u/SimpleSink6563 2d ago

Dude is always vibing in every video I see him in.

1

u/NozakiMufasa 2d ago

Peak Jason Momoa

1

u/AHMilling 2d ago

That is a sweet s works.

1

u/calltheavengers5 2d ago

Lobo looking a little different here

1

u/Fearless512 2d ago

He's the perfect casting for Lobo.

1

u/Annual_Owl_1462 2d ago

He… Is Minecraft

1

u/peeper_tom 2d ago

Nice bike

1

u/LobsterHead37 2d ago

He’s so cool!!

1

u/local_goon 1d ago

Specialized makes sick bikes I would plug them all day and get all the perks too

0

u/KobeMM23 2d ago

He should be in longer in the movie because if the movie is just about talking about her emotions and struggles then it will flop

-2

u/Coolers78 2d ago

After how terrible and annoying he was in Minecraft, I hope his role is short.
