    The Main Man is my all time favorite comic book character, and i have been wanting this FOR SO LONG. I am a bit bummed out he isn’t getting his own movie, particularly with how successful other anti-hero movies have been, but I’ve got my fingers crossed this will lead to bigger things.

      Seeding somewhat lesser-known characters into movies with more well-known one is a great way to get them exposed to a broader audience and do some testing before deciding to roll out a whole movie.

      If folks think he’s cool and he proves popular, I could definitely see a standalone. Although Gunn seems to be focusing overall on completed scripts more than anything, so thank god for that.

      That said, always loved Lobo. Could also see him popping up in multiple movies instead, first.
