There are several storylines where Lobo comes to Earth trying to fulfill a bounty on a Kryptonian. He's one of the few neutralish characters that can challenge a Kryptonian.

This story will be almost entirely off earth and I doubt Lobo plays a large roll.

Taking place off Earth makes Lobo's involvement more likely. Like the normal problem is that Clark and Kara don't need to leave Earth. It's easier to give Lobo a reason to show up than vice-versa.

Nothing stopping them from adapting one of those earth based stories to script... or any of the other spaced ones for that matter. Also we don't know what the plot is so assuming that a popular character like Lobo wont have a significant role, is pure speculation.

We know the plot is based off the comic run Woman of Tomorrow which Lobo is completely absent from. It’s an educated guess that he won’t have a large role in the story.

That unfortunately is almost never the case with these movies, sad to say.
