Jeffrey Dean Morgan on Lobo: "I don't know that I'm a big blue guy."

The 'Watchmen' actor has spoken to MTV about his rumoured involvement with DC's 'Lobo' which is set to be directed by Guy Ritchie!
When asked if he'd reached out to Ritchie yet the actor played down the previous reports about his involvement in the project, "I said that in passing," Morgan told MTV News. "I don't t know that I'm a big blue guy."

"Lobo happens to be a character that flies by the seat of his pants," said Morgan of the character's appeal. "I don't know if I'm the guy or not, but I think it's going to be one hell of a movie. I'll certainly be going to see it."

However, the actor was quick to clarify that he would definitely be interested in playing the character. "Hey, if Guy Ritchie came to me and said, 'You want to do Lobo?' I'd say, 'Yeah,'"

I wonder if they're gonna give him the old Frazzled rocker hair or the newer dread lock look.
Mercenary - 10/13/2009, 1:48 PM
Great find you Bastich .... LOBO all the way

They better stick to the original ... bring back the rockers...
thegreek - 10/13/2009, 1:50 PM
We know this lol???
LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 2:01 PM
Just poking fun at ya!! : D


LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 2:02 PM
Lobo's white godamit!! the creator even said Lobo isn't blue!! Anyway I'd love to see Morgan as Lobo or Rourke, both would make me happy
Ryden - 10/13/2009, 2:02 PM
Lol@LEEE

I always thought Lobo was gray
InSpace - 10/13/2009, 2:05 PM
RYDEN @ He's talking about the BLUE DEVIL dude!! ; D
LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 2:05 PM
LOBO's ALLWHITE, Alright!! : D
LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 2:06 PM
@ Everyone: In art, especially in comics, blue is often used to render highlights on black (ex: Venom) and shading on white/grey (ex: Lobo). I could see how he thought he was blue. So calm down. We should be grateful he even knows who the character is and is willing to play him.



Looks pretty damn blue to me...
BmanHall - 10/13/2009, 2:17 PM
Guy Richie hahahaha

hahaha

FAIL
SoulAllFlush - 10/13/2009, 2:20 PM
SOUL @ No way can this fail!!?
LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 2:26 PM
Now Guy Ritchie is not with Madonna! Im sure he will get back to making great movies!

Im sure this will be a very cool movie! However i feel there is much better DC Charcters to do first, such as Supes, Flash, WW, Green Arrow, etc...

DC Entertainment: Priorities!!!

cool news tho, joshw24 : )

BigNick - 10/13/2009, 2:52 PM
"Bite me fanboy!"

A film version of 'Lobo's Back' or 'Paramilitary Christmas Special' (timed just right to come out during the holiday season - it could be the new 'Bad Santa'!) would be KICK @SS!! One thing though, none of this PG-13 'kid friendly' crap! Lobo has got to be rated 'R' all the way, or nuthin' at all!!!!
loganoneil - 10/13/2009, 2:55 PM
teabag & thegreek: lol, is that a Lobo catchphrase!? You guys should know by now that i only read Marvel! I hadnt even heard of this Lobo guy until a few weeks back! ;D

BigNick: Thanks! :)
JoshW - 10/13/2009, 3:03 PM
I think I'm OK with this idea. Now that they have my permission, they may proceed.
ecksmanfan - 10/13/2009, 3:10 PM
JOSH @ How can you even call yourself a comic book fan if you've never even heard of LOBO since a few weeks back?!?

Oh my, the mind boggles! : D

ECKS @ Lol, im glad they got the green light!!
LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 3:17 PM
IM THINKING DO IT GOLUM STYLE, ACTOR CGI.
GUNSMITH - 10/13/2009, 3:21 PM
LEE: Its simple really - because DC sucks and Marvel doesnt. I dont want or need to read comic books that constantly changes and screws up continuity and whose heroes are pretty much invincible and have museums!!!
JoshW - 10/13/2009, 3:22 PM
...and considering you had never heard of the Young Avengers a little while back I dont think you have the right to say whether someone can call themselves a comic book fan or not!
JoshW - 10/13/2009, 3:26 PM
DC don't suck man, theres a lot of good quality DC comics and VERTIGO out there!

Saying DC sucks is abit um ignorant you know lol.

But come on, everyone knows Lobo if you read MARVEL or not???

Really you should test the waters, your missing out.
LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 3:28 PM
@LEEE- I'll have you know I have not given the green light to the following: any X-Sequels, Spiderman 4, Transformers 3, Captain America or anything that rat bastard Ratner is attched to...that phallus.
ecksmanfan - 10/13/2009, 3:29 PM
JOSH @ WTF? I knew of THE YOUNG AVENGERS, thats just one comic book ive never read?? Not a whole [frick]ing comic book company lmao??!

And i never said they sucked, so whats your point?? ; D
LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 3:30 PM
ECKS @ Okay dude, gotcha lol!!!
LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 3:31 PM
I've read enough DC to know that its nowhere near Marvel quality (I mean, why bring back Jason Todd - which was a great arc - only to turn him into a psychotic 2 dimensional villain! Look what Marvel did with Bucky!!!) And its not ignorant its an opinion - just as you say that "tAckles" would make a crap Captain America!!
JoshW - 10/13/2009, 3:35 PM
But he would JOSH, but we wont go there! : D

It does make me laugh though you talk about stuff like that, yet you read the ULTIMATE lines?????

By the way JOSH, if it wasn't for DC you would have no MARVEL COMICS! ; )

On another note, do you think JDM & RDJ look alike, i reckon they could play brothers!




LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 3:45 PM
I still dont see the blue...
bubastis237 - 10/13/2009, 3:48 PM
"It does make me laugh though you talk about stuff like that, yet you read the ULTIMATE lines?????"

That coming from someone who hasnt even read a few issues of the Ultimae line (and someone who is too narrow minded to accept the line as a seperate entity to the regular Marvel Universe!)

And sure, an average actor who can barely do an American accent and a guy who's best known for playing a gay character in Sex in the City would make much better Captain America's! But we wont go there...
JoshW - 10/13/2009, 3:56 PM
Guys, unfortunately my article got deleted (though to be fair it wasnt actually comic book movie news!) but Marvel have just announced the details for "Siege" - which reunites Captain America, Iron Man and Thor for the first time in a decade! The interview is over at...

Here's one of the promo images for the event! :)

JOSH @ Whos rattled your cage lol??

Im trying to tell you theres much more in the comic book world than just Marvel??? Your missing out big time!

Man you must be reading some of the great Independent comic book about surely?

Hey not having a pop, if you like sticking to just Marvel then cool, just good books out there!
LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 4:03 PM
oohhhhh - Where's Shaman? You p!ssed man?

Looks like the guy ain't Lobo.

ROURKE!
Keven - 10/13/2009, 4:04 PM
JOSH @ I thought there was an article already about that?

Looks good though, im getting it!!

By the way, i saw some of that HOUSE series an its not bad!
LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 4:05 PM
KEV @ JDM will do a great job as LOBO, though i wanted DURRAND, i really like JDM too, but not ROUKE, great in the Wrestler but he's MARV, cant see him as LOBO too, but then again a lot do, so you never know?!
LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 4:07 PM
Kevin Durand FTW. But JDM would be my second choice.
InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/13/2009, 4:45 PM
Is he Gray or Gay?:(
teabag - 10/13/2009, 5:09 PM
TYLER @ Mine too!

TEA @ How about BAY! : P


LEEE777 - 10/13/2009, 6:09 PM
Tea - He's a gay shade of gray like Bay, okay.
SirPrize - 10/13/2009, 6:15 PM

teabag - 10/13/2009, 6:21 PM
Oh, Sirprize@ you is such a poet! lol
DDD - 10/13/2009, 6:24 PM
Any more of this gay fray and I'll be on my way! LMAO
DDD - 10/13/2009, 6:26 PM
DDD - Your comment about "anymore of this gay fray and I'll be on my way", was okay for Bay with me rolling with Meg Fox in the hay, but still touché. Nanny Nanny Boo Boo stick your head in Tea's Doo Doo. LMAO.
SirPrize - 10/13/2009, 6:31 PM

HOLY TRIPLE D's Batma,,I mean DDD
StrangemannX09 - 10/13/2009, 7:06 PM
He'd be perfect for the role .
Bandit24 - 10/13/2009, 7:44 PM
Well, i think i want to go to Denny's now.
MrDCGuy23 - 10/13/2009, 8:06 PM
@DDD. Dude, throw Javier Baradem (Bane!) in there and you have a three of a kind.

On a side note... If he doesn't do Lobo, he would be THE perfect Deadshot!
THEHAWK - 10/13/2009, 8:17 PM
amazing actor
grif - 10/13/2009, 9:22 PM
Hawk@ that is Javier Bardem on the right!
I don't have to throw him in to have a 3-
of-a-kind! That is a 3-of-a-kind!

That is RDJ on the left, JDM in the middle
and Bardem on the right!
Uncanny ain't it?
DDD - 10/14/2009, 1:15 AM
That is got to be one of my favorite Drawings?Pics in all of Comic History. Lobo/Bisley rule next to Batman and Bob Kane!

@DDD- I get it! DDD = 3D. I know i know, but i did get it afew months back... sorry, just call me Capt. Obvous :P
shibazz - 10/14/2009, 1:47 AM
Shibazz@, It's actually the real Initials of my name, I
guess my mom had a stutter! lol

I was given the DDD moniker by CBM when I entered the
Green Lantern art contest (in which I got the 3rd place
win) a ton of months ago and put my real full name on my
entry! CBM thought it would be better if I had an alias I
guess! :D

I have the same middle name as Jeffrey Dean Morgan, DEAN!


DDD - 10/14/2009, 2:14 AM
I still say we put joshw and LEEE in a hell in a cell cage match. Sell it on pay per view and use the profits to get teabag some much needed therapy. Who said I'm not a nice guy, I'll cut his balls off!
ASSASSIN666 - 10/14/2009, 3:50 AM
ASSASSIN@ anything to get near my balls huh...lol :P
teabag - 10/14/2009, 4:43 AM
DDD @ Thats what im saying!!!! ; D

Dont know the guy on the end though but holt sh!T Triplets!!! : D

ASSASSIN @ LMFAO!!!!!
LEEE777 - 10/14/2009, 6:57 AM

teabag - 10/14/2009, 7:52 AM
OH HELL YES!!! JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN IS THE PERFECT LOBO!!!











Shaman - 10/14/2009, 7:52 AM
@DDD. I'm a fan of all of them, and I couldn't tell Morgan and Baradem apart!
THEHAWK - 10/14/2009, 7:53 AM
HAWK- JDM is more charming while Bardem is weirder. That's how i tell them apart.

DDD- You forgot to throw up Brad Garret up there too. When he isn't freashly shaved, he also looks alike.
Shaman - 10/14/2009, 10:45 AM
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the worst choice for Lobo. The best pick for Lobo is James Preston Rogers. If you don't know him fan boys then google him.
shahrazstate - 10/14/2009, 10:57 AM
shahrazstate@ actualy thats a good choice....i remember him breifly from Outlander :)
teabag - 10/14/2009, 10:59 AM
I would still prefer to see Brad Garret as Lobo, so we can have JDM as Deadshot, Rourke as Clayface, Baradem as Bane, and RDJ as Doctor Psycho
THEHAWK - 10/14/2009, 11:27 AM
shahrazstate- James Preston Rogers is the worst choice for Lobo. Having to Google him to even get a clue as to who this guy is, is a perfect example of how bad of a choice he is for Lobo. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the best choice for Lobo cause HE CAN ACT, has pulled a stellar performance as a similar character (the comedian) AND has the physical build for the role. Not only that but he has enough charisma to make the movie sail on it's own!!! Which is, let's be honest, what this franchise needs in order to pretty much break even at the box office.

Don't argue with fanboys, we know our shit. And our shit is Comic Book Films!!!
Shaman - 10/14/2009, 11:32 AM
You're totally correct Shaman. JDM is the best to play
Lobo with his chomping-up-the-scenery charisma but I'm
torn between JDM and Kevin Durand!

Kevin has the same bigger than life charisma and wouldn't
need much CGI to look like Lobo around all the other normal
size actors.

But if you use CGI and FX to make him look gigantic then
JDM would be fantastic!
DDD - 10/14/2009, 5:53 PM
@ Josh - to answer your question way up there BASTICH is a word he uses in the comics... if your gonna read something of LOBO get Portrait of a Bastich

PLUS DC doesn't suck your just closed minded.... :-P
thegreek - 10/14/2009, 10:04 PM
Josh@ Dont worry im more of a Marvel fan myself :)
teabag - 10/15/2009, 4:24 AM
DDD- I don't feel that Durand has the same charisma as JDM or else i would have voted for him. A younger choice normally is always a better one if you think farther in the future. To me, JDM always had the upper hand in charisma. Durand's face with the lobo make-up would look alot like Keaton's Beetlejuice. They have similar facial features i find.
Shaman - 10/15/2009, 10:40 AM
Jefrey is a good LOBO, but if CGI-LOBO.
OSCURO - 10/15/2009, 1:19 PM
@Shaman, I didn't mean that Durand had EXACTLY the same
charisma as JDM just that he has a bigger-than-life
charisma such as JDM has. Durand has a different charisma,
more insane and scary because of his size!

JDM has a gruff manly kind of Charisma that fits Lobo
to a "T"! I simply believe that Kevin could do the part
too, in his own special way! But JDM's personality
is perfect!
