Wonder Woman Writer Joins Lobo Comic Book Adaptation

It looks as though ‘Wonder Woman’ writer Jason Fuchs will pen ‘Lobo’.

According to Variety, the 30-year-old screenwriter has joined DC’s upcoming comic book adaptation… joining director Brad Peyton.

“Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment have hired ‘Wonder Woman’ writer Jason Fuchs to adapt their long-in-development action-fantasy film ‘Lobo’,” they revealed. “Brad Peyton is attached to direct ‘Lobo’ with Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman producing.”

But who is Lobo and why are Warner Bros. giving him a solo movie?

Lobo first appeared in DC’s ‘Omega Men’ #3 in 1983… and by 1990, the alien mercenary was given his very own comic book series.

The last of his kind, Lobo killed his entire race simply for fun… and his name is said to translate as “he who devours your entrails and thoroughly enjoys it.” Enjoying mindless violence and intoxication above all else, he nevertheless adheres to a strict personal code – that he will never violate any agreement he makes.

“Warner Bros. has been developing ‘Lobo’ since 2009,” they explained, “when it hired Guy Ritchie to direct from a script by the late Don Payne in which the title character would have been a blue-skinned antihero who drives a motorcycle and lands on Earth in search of four fugitives.”

But who will play the badass DC antihero?

Just a couple of months ago, we saw Danny Trejo seemingly link himself to the role of Lobo in a rather promising tweet. And he certainly seemed to hint that he may have already bagged the leading role.

“First rule of hunting, Super Dupe,” he said. “Make the target come to you. @DCComics”

Could this mean that Warner Bros. have already pursued Danny Trejo for the role of Lobo?

For now, we’ll have to wait and see… but it would definitely be an excellent choice.
