Scott Ian has been in Anthrax for years but is trying out his writing skills on a new Lobo mini series and during a recent interview he drops a potential name that he thinks could pull it off. The unknown Matt Willig was most recently in the flop Year One. Here's what he said below -

"There's actually this guy named Matt Willig who is an ex-football player who is an actor now. And he... looks like Lobo. The dude is a f*****g monster. And he's actually a good actor, so I think he'd be perfect as Lobo. He's a giant f*****g menace of a human being and I think he would be amazing as the character."

For the full interesting interview head to www.comicbookresources.com - it's a long read but it's pretty good.

As for Willig - I don't think so. We here at CBM know why - and having some real caveman isn't a good idea for marketing a Lobo flick.

This guy looks like a Klingon, naturally.

Ya bastiches are forgetting one thing - they're shooting for a 'PG-13' rating for this! How much PURE Lobo-ism is this movie going to have if it's collared and chained by the confines of the MPAA? Unless they allow the Main Man to go 'balls-to-the-walls', it's probably going to BLOW (which ROYALLY SUCKS!)

@logan - I know it is heartbreaking but they might be able to push it to the limit of PG -13 can offer... which we know isn't the same as R.... We can only hope.

God I love f**king Anthrax since 84, amazing band. Scott is a cool guy that has a deep respect for all things comic related, I trust him to write anything.

I agree with Betty, Matt Willig's as attractive as a klingon's scrotum. A decaying corps would have more charm. Granted Lobo shouldn't be a metrosexual pretty boy, but he still should have a face that doesn't look like it's been raped by an Ogre. The character's own healing factor would shit on this casting choice!

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the PERFECT LOBO!!!












Click on the hook, I DARE YA!!!
