Jeffrey Dean Morgan Wants ‘Lobo’
By Landfill | September 14, 2009
Jeffrey Dean Morgan has been good to the CBM community. He was The Comedian earlier this year in Watchmen, who I personally thought was one of the best performances of the movie, and more recently we’ll get to see more of Morgan in the upcoming CBM The Losers. So with that being said, today’s news involving another CBM in development is not a surprise.
Steve Weintraub from Collider recently sat down with Jeffrey Dean Morgan for an interview and said he’d like to play Lobo in Warner Bros. upcoming CBM directed by Guy Ritchie. Below is the actual interview that took place.
Steve: Are there any other comic book properties that you have your eyes on?
Jeffrey: You know, they’re making “Lobo” right now. That would be cool. “Lobo” would be very cool. I don’t think that I’m as big as Lobo is, but if you could, like, transplant Mickey Rourke’s body on my head, that would be just great. But I don’t know. It’s an untapped world for me as well. Every time I kind of hear about something I go out and get the book or I look it up on one of your guys’ sites. We’ll see. You’re always looking for material that’s kind of smart and fun and this seems to be where it is right now. The studios are really gravitating towards it. More than I’ve ever seen them gravitate towards anything in a long time. Comic books are really the thing right now and I don’t see that going away for at least the next couple of years.
Well, you do have an in with Joel Silver doing this and doing that.
Jeffrey: That’s true. And I think that Akiva Goldsman is doing it as well. So I do have an in. I’ll be elbowing somebody soon.
Good or Bad choice to play Lobo? Tell us in the comments who you would like to see cast as Lobo.

i actually like this idea. I loved him as the comedian in watchmen. They can do to him what was done to Vinney Jones in Xmen 3 to make him look huge. Not a bad idea at all

Yes I agree this could be pulled off especially with the way they did Jones in X3. Or even the way they did Hellboy.
