James Gunn has joined Mastodon, a social media platform similar to Twitter. To celebrate his arrival, the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director’s first toot (yes, the posts are called toots) is a classic image of Lobo. Naturally, fans were quick to pick up on the post and are now convinced that Lobo is the first DC comic book character that Gunn will bring into the DCU.
But which DCU project will feature Lobo? Although we’re hoping that the interstellar mercenary will get his own solo project (a series following his exploits would be chef’s kiss), there is a bigger chance he will first be introduced in a major DC flick as the main villain. With that in mind, there is a possibility Lobo will face off against Superman in Man of Steel 2. Although Lobo has not yet appeared in the DCEU (or DCU), the character already made his live-action debut in an official TV series. Lobo was introduced in the second season of Krypton where he was played by Emmett J. Scanlan. For now, it has not yet been confirmed whether Lobo is making his DCU debut or if he will be the main villain in Man of Steel 2. In the meantime, Henry Cavill is confirmed to return as Superman and the sequel is set to be the first big feature for DCU.
