We all know that Guy Ritchie is on board for bringing LOBO to the big screen.  Apparently the script is being worked on and they're looking to start filming next year.  The big question is, who could or should play Lobo?  Comics2Film asked one of their sources if there were plans to get a body builder or wrestler to capture Lobo's physique.  They were told that while Lobo has to look a certain way, the actor doesn't necessarily have to.
 
What?  Does this mean that Lobo will be CGI?  Thinking about that brings back flashbacks to the jello-Hulk in Ang Lee's 'movie.'
 
They go on the mention that it could be makeup along with CGI enhancements like in Hellboy.
 
The next question is do you need a big-name actor or just get someone that can act the role?  According to this source, one name keeps popping up.  Clancy Brown.  
 
Do you think Clancy Brown could be right for the role?  What about the previously mentioned Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Comedian from Watchmen)?  Should it be some big dude with muscles?  All CGI?

Why don't they just do what they did with Ron Perlman in Hellboy and use prosthetics on him.  It worked wonders.  And Ron Perlam could do Lobo all day long.  Remember that Lobo is basicly Satire, and Perlman can bring some humor to the character.  Clancy could work too.  Clancy can work anything, but  we need a deep guy.

goldenkey raises a good point.  A dressed up Lobo could work.  Just as long as he doesn't look terrible like the Thing in the FF movies.

Brad Garret ...he did the voice in STAS/JL  and he's a pretty big guy, and I'd go with the Hellboy treatment

I'm with Caligula on this one.  The whole thing just doesn't make sense to me.   Frag it all.
 
In that tradition I give you my casting nomination for Lobo:

Im behind this, he would be perfect, he can do it

Clancy's voice is perfect for this, it would have to be at least partially CG, though.

@King Saturn:  Thanks.  Its just this whole concept seems whack to me.  Why is a Lobo movie supposedly moving forward when DC Entertainment/Warner Bros. can't get the damn ball rolling on the other far higher profile characters like Wonder Woman????  Aaarrggghhhh.   Also with Guy Ritchie doing it?  Its just a weird combo.

I made this the last time someone mentioned Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Yeah it sucks, but it could work!

Ugh am I the only one who can't stand the sight or sound of clancy brown, I think they should just cast an unknown

Let Jeffrey Dean Morgan do it. He's the best possible actor to play him.
