Jason definitely manifested being cast as ‘Lobo’ since even during the press tour of Aquaman, he had expressed interest in the role of anti-hero, calling it ‘perfect’. He had said:
“So Lobo was… I collect comics, and I don’t do so much anymore, but he was always my favorite, and I always wanted to play Lobo, because I’m like, ‘Hello? It’s the perfect role’. I mean, listen. If they call and ask me to play him, it’s a f*ck yeah. I haven’t received that call, so I don’t want to put any fake news out there, but if they ever call me and ask me to play, or ask me to audition, I’m there.”
