Jason Momoa, best known for his role in Game of Thrones, nearly made a major slip-up during an interview promoting his new film Minecraft. The actor, who has been cast as the DC villain Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, was about to reveal the first look of his highly anticipated character when his publicist quickly stepped in to prevent a potential leak.
While speaking to Cinemablend, the 45-year-old star picked up his phone to share a glimpse of his Lobo look, but his publicist, who was standing behind the cameras, swiftly intervened to stop him from revealing too much. The amusing yet nerve-wracking moment didn’t go unnoticed, especially by DC CEO James Gunn, who reacted with humor.
Gunn, also the director of Superman, took to social media to thank Momoa’s publicist for preventing the premature reveal, writing, “I just want to profoundly thank Jason’s publicist.” His post added to the lighthearted nature of the situation, showing how the slip-up could have been a major spoiler for fans eagerly awaiting the Supergirl movie.
Momoa’s involvement in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is highly anticipated, though details about his portrayal of Lobo remain under wraps. The movie will also star Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Emily Beecham, but fans will have to wait until the official release for the full reveal.
In the meantime, Jason Momoa’s near-reveal has only heightened excitement for the upcoming film, leaving fans eager to see how he brings the villainous Lobo to life on the big screen.
