Ladies and gentleman, The Rock says this: Dwayne Johnson could be playing DC Comics’ Lobo in the near future. Fans of the maniacal, genocidal, and suicidal Czarnian will be pleased to learn that the actor formerly known as The Rock tweeted, “Rumors of me possibly playing LOBO are true. Joel Silver and Brad Peyton working on it now. That could be fun.”
Personally, I’m not too high about the possibility. In my mind, Lobo requires an exaggerated ridiculousness that can only be achieved with CG. Furthermore, I loved the rumor of The Rock playing Black Adam in a possible Shazam movie. That works way better in my head. What do you think of the prospect of The Rock playing Lobo?
Yeah, this rumor has been floating around for a while in one form or another. I'm not really sold on it either, though if anyone can pull of the "over the top personality" bit, it's probably a former wrestler.
I like the character and like The Rock. So will this be stand alone or will it be the Easter Egg at the end?
I dont see this working out. The Rock IMO wouldnt have what it takes to bring Lobo to life.
You people need to look at the bright side; at least it's not Vin Diesel.
