Never imagined him as Lobo....

I always wanted him to play Black Adam, he definitely has the look but deep down I just don't think he has the acting chops to pull it off.

WTF sorry Rock i like u but your are Black Adam not Lobo.

plus Lobo is going to fail big time first of its not going to be produce by Legedary Pictures. Joel Silver should has no right to produce any DC films.

He just doesn't have the face for it. And really, the rock just comes across as a good guy, I can't see him having the twisted mind needed to pull this off. That being said I don't have a better suggestion off the top of my head.

I'd rather save him for black Adam, although I don't see shaman ever happening. But I also couldn't see an annan movie happening either. And maybe it still won't.

How can I live in a world where Johan Hex and Lobo are getting big screen adaptions before Flash and/or Wonder Woman

Please yes, just so people can bitch and cry over something new today.

@DarkMetal My lord, forgot those. Plus he'd be a perfect Black Adam, has the looks and judging from Doom, can play an evil guy.

Lobo? Just why? Man of Steel is the potential starting block for a DC universe on screen the second, third or forth block shouldn't be Lobo, when you have Flash and Winder Woman to get done, plus GL and Batman reboots to get sorted.

If there's a Lobo movie, I vote for Simon Bisley to animate it.

Kevin Durand would be better. Rock for Black Adam.

Well... he has the build and smile and isnt a too bad actor. He just needs shit load of make up in his face and body and sharp teeth, cigar and long black hair.
It could work... MAYBE!... Future tells!
BUT THE MOVIE NEEDS TO BE BLOODY AS HELL!!

Lobo is one of my favourite dc characters I really want him to have his own film but id prefer Jeffrey dean Morgan as him

I still don't understand WBs fascination with Lobo - a character the non-comic book reading public doesn't even know exists!

Why they feel the need to give him a solo movie before the Flash, WW AND the Justice League is beyond me. It is also very, very frustrating as a DC fan.

I don't know this character. So I don't care for Warner Brothers to make this. Rather them stick with a good slate of DC films they got going with TDKR and MOS. But I do like "The Rock".
