Filmmakers like Guy Ritchie and Brad Peyton tried it, and Dwayne Johnson came close to playing him in the latter's version. In 2018, Warner Bros. and Michael Bay also flirted with the idea, but the concept never came to fruition. On the small screen, Emmett J. Scanlan played Lobo in the SyFy series, Krypton.”
