Could Lobo show up in James Gunn's Superman reboot?
Lobo is an interesting character for DC. One of the most popular characters to come out of the 1990s, he was created by Keith Giffen in a 1983 issue of Omega Men, but didn't really come into his own until his villainous persona was reinvented as an extreme '90s antihero. As a cosmic bounty hunter, the Main Man clashed with Superman more than once, but also had to work with the Man of Steel on a few occasions.
Emmett J. Scanlan, who previously played roles on Constantine and in Guardians of the Galaxy, was tapped to play Lobo on Krypton, Syfy's short-lived and critically-acclaimed Superman prequel series. In it, Lobo found himself in an antagonistic alliance with Adam Strange and Superman's grandfather, Seg-El .
As a cosmic bounty hunter, inserting Lobo into a Superman movie would be pretty easy: for some reason or another, someone -- another villain, probably, to set up for a sequel -- wants Superman either taken down or brought to them. Lobo is hired for the job, and hilarity ensues. "The only one I want to play is DC and Lobo. He's badass," Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan said a couple of years ago."Lobo would be very cool. I don't think that I'm as big as Lobo is, but if you could transplant Mickey Rourke's body on my head, that would be just great."
