Guy Ritchie to direct Lobo

[louiebling$]

He was a Badass in The Scorpion King and He Played a Decent villian in DOOM with what he had to work with.

So, what about this casting poll?

Done!

 

[Superman]

why not just get Andrew Bryniarski he played lobo in a 2002 Short film on lobo and dude is menacing and is 6'5 and was good in it

Its ridiculous how bad ass he was in that short. Seriously, Who could deny him?....

How Lobo should be....

That was a great fan film.

He is a Better Actor than what people give him credit for

I'm iffy on what that even means in context. He's better than "can't act at all". I like him to an extent. He's funny, he's got good timing, some charm, and can sing a bit and move very well. but he doesn't have much range as an actor. At least, he hasn't shown any. Lobo requires some range. Being big isn't enough. There's also a distinct CHARACTER to play. Being "The Rock" isn't going to be enough. And since Johnson plays The Rock in damn near everything he's ever been in...

Really? I hated everything about Scorpion King and thought he was the worst part of Doom.

As Captain Marvel he would be incredible, but as Lobo I just dont see it.

To each his own....

Id like him more for Black Adam personally. I dunno I guess I want to see him play a Villian or Anti-Hero.

 

[Webhead2006]

actually he was to be black adam if the film did happen when it was gearing up, and probably could if he wants to/is asked to.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Hes has played those characters, and he hammed it up big time. Hes not a great actor, but he has tons of charisma and in the right role, he excels greatly.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan On 'Lobo' Movie—'I Don't Know That I'm A Big Blue Guy'

http://splashpage.mtv.com/2009/10/13/exclusive-jeffrey-dean-morgan-on-lobo-movie%e2%80%94i-dont-know-that-im-a-big-blue-guy/

It was less than two weeks between Guy Ritchie being tagged to direct a "Lobo" movie last month and actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan throwing his hat into the ring as one of the hopefuls for the lead role, so it was only natural that we bring up DC's "Main Man" when we had a chance to sit down with Morgan recently.
Asked whether he'd reached out to Ritchie yet, Morgan downplayed his previous conversation about the project.
"I said that in passing," Morgan told MTV News of his prior comments regarding the "Lobo" lead. "I don't t know that I'm a big blue guy."
No stranger to comic book movies, Morgan recently wrapped shooting on "The Losers," an adaptation of Jock and Andy Diggle's action-packed comic book series. However, comic fans probably Morgan best as the face of The Comedian in Zack Snyder's adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' legendary series "Watchmen."
"Lobo happens to be a character that flies by the seat of his pants," said Morgan of the character's appeal. "I don't know if I'm the guy or not, but I think it's going to be one hell of a movie. I'll certainly be going to see it."
Lest you think that means he isn't interested in the role, Morgan clarified his stance.
"Hey, if Guy Ritchie came to me and said, 'You want to do Lobo?' I'd say, 'Yeah,'" said Morgan.

 

[Changeling]

Cool! I hope he's cast.

 

[Webhead2006]

well it looks like he would like to still play the character but probably doesnt want to say anything more which could blow his chances.

 

[NEXUS 6]

I am just throwing this name out there. He has worked with Ritchie before, and, while not the greatest actor in the world, might be able to pull off Lobo.

Jason Statham. Just imagine him with Uruk Hai hair.

I think I still like Rourke for the role.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I still want Kevin Durand for Lobo. He's perfect fot it.

 

[Webhead2006]

should be fun who they decide on and how they will pull off the look.

 

[Hypestyle]

Get Danny Trejo, spend the rest of the money on special FX, make it happen.. Lobo isn't a "A-list star" vehicle anyway.. the actor is going to have to be bothered with weird makeup, etc. get stars for supporting roles, villains..

 

[Octoberist]

I'm not liking Danny for Lobo; too on the nose. Plus he's in his 60s, I would rather get some one else like Kevin Durand.

Yea his age makes me not want him wayyyyyy tooo oldd..

 

[Webhead2006]

though if theyy are doing full body makeup/posthestic suit like hellboy did, age of the actor shouldnt really matter that much. Look at how old hellboy actor was doing both films.

 

[Octoberist]

to me, Danny doesn't seem right for Lobo, even though he's has that biker look. It's not the ethcity because I support The Rock for the role too.

 

[Changeling]

Danny i think is way too old, and way too short.

 

[nite-owl]

If JDM is cast as Lobo then I might just see this.

 

[Webhead2006]

well it would be great if they get someone who is really tall so then they already have the presence needed for lobo and makeup/costumes will only enhance that.

 

[slothbp]

I think Kevin durrand would be awesome as Lobo. Dwayne Johnson too. He is closer in height and build too. This is my 3rd favorite comic(Hulk and Criminal Macabre are the first) so I"m excited! I love the idea of him being a mockery of Wolverine. And he's got a slightly blue tint to him, he's not totally white. So, that's why the info said he was blue. All I need is Rising Stars, Wetworks and American Freaks to get greenlit and all my favorite comics will be made into films.
