Over the weekend, a follower over on Dwayne Johnson's Twitter stream inquired about rumors that Johnson would play interstellar merc/bounty hunter Lobo in a long-gestating bigscreenification of DC's nearly 30 year old property of the same name.

Johnson's reply:  

Rumors of me possibly playing LOBO are true. Joel Silver and Brad Peyton working on it now. That could be fun.. ‪#RockTalk‬

 Peyton and Johnson recently worked together in the spectacular, clever, and fun JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND and look to be re-teaming for its space-themed sequel - due in theaters 2014.   

There have been murmurings and innuendo that Johnson might be attached to the Lobo role for some time - the the best of my knowledge this is as close as we've yet come to an official confirmation.
