In an interview with Superhero Hype from the set of his latest film, The Losers, Jeffrey Dean Morgan stated his desire to take on the role of wise-cracking hard drinkin' intergalactic bounty hunter, Lobo! This would be Morgan's third DC Comics character in a relatively short timespan. He was The Comedian in this year's Watchmen; and he's currently filming The Losers based out of DC's Vertigo imprint.
"[T]hey're making 'Lobo' right now," offered JDM, "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."
"I do have an in," he admits, "I'll be elbowing somebody soon."
Morgan seems to really be gravitating to these big comic book roles, maybe because he knows they have a built in audience and if you please them once, you're in for life. Just look at his role as The Comedian in Watchmen earlier this year. It's made him basically a household name overnight. This couldn't be a better fit, I might add. He already sorta looks like Lobo in the face. I mean he's been out in the sun a bit more than Lobo has, obviously.
