As James Gunn teases Lobo, a challenger has thrown his cigar in the ring
While several high-profile names continue or prepare to jump the burning ship Twitter, none have managed to match the furore James Gunn caused when he announced his presence on Mastodon, the Twitter competitor happy to gather more muscle. averse residents of the platform.
Indeed, when Gunn published his first Mastodon post, it was a quick and simple “Nice to be here,” along with a cheeky photo of a DC Comics antihero that quickly broke the internet.
Given that Gunn is the new co-chair of the DC Cinematic Universe, the internet was only too happy to entertain the idea that this could be a taste of what could be in store for the franchise. Gunn has, of course, remained agonizingly closed on the matter.
But that only gives us more room to run wild with assumptions, and actor Todd Stashwick is perhaps the furthest sprint of us all; In a recent tweet, Stashwick made it clear that should Lobo appear in the DCU, he’s all but ready to bring the alien bounty hunter to life.
That 12 monkeys Star is no stranger to this particular piece of genre fiction; after appearing on the NBC superhero drama heroes and in the Gotham TV series as Black Mask. And as we can see from the side-by-side above, he’s got the raw taste of Lobo left.
There were many respondents who were only too happy to support Stashwick’s Lobo campaign, while others took the cheekier route by suggesting that Jason Momoa, who plays Aquaman in the DCU, should get the role instead.
Either way, it looks like Stashwick will be first to the party on this one, and being ahead of the game hasn’t hurt anyone yet. Of course, with Lobo yet to be confirmed in an official DCU capacity, he’ll be harboring a hollow dream for now.
