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.
