All-Star Superman Writer Grant Morrison Delivers His Verdict on Supergirl and Jason Momoa’s Lobo
Grant Morrison, the acclaimed comic writer of All-Star Superman whose work influenced James Gunn’s Superman film, has weighed in on DC Universe’s recent Supergirl movie. Writing on his Substack publication Xanaduum, Morrison offered a measured critique of the film, describing it as neither exceptional nor terrible, and commending Millie Alcock for delivering a “credible job” as Kara Zor-El.
However, Morrison reserved harsh criticism for Jason Momoa’s portrayal of Lobo, calling it “one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen in a film”—a strikingly strong condemnation from one of DC’s most respected comic creators. This critique stands in sharp contrast to Momoa’s previous assertions that he was the perfect fit for the character.
Morrison’s commentary contributes to ongoing discussions surrounding DC’s recent creative direction and casting decisions as the studio navigates its film slate under James Gunn’s leadership.
