I would have called myself insane for this just 24 hours ago.

But there is only one appropriate actor I can think of for John Stewart.....


Give him to Zack Snyder for two months and you're good.

Time for an awful fancast from me

Idris Elba - John Stewart
Sam Worthington - Hal Jordan
Alan Tudyk - Guy Gardner
Eva Green - Jade
Ben Foster - Salaak
Keifer Sutherland - Kilowog
Jason Isaacs - Sinestro

This is why I'm not a casting director!

The Tyrese Gibson for John Stewart looks to be a close possibility more than ever.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/454167-tyrese-gibson-teases-green-lantern-announcement

There are certain things I can’t speak on,” Tyrese told Entertainment Tonight. “But I will say, however this works out, it’s definitely the fans’ fault. I was at home minding my own business and fans start creating these fan-made videos of me as Green Lantern and I looked into it. I’ve been a fan of the Green Lantern. I took the oath, and I had a meeting at Warner Bros. and certain things were said and talked about. We’ll just see what happens.”

“Listen, these muscles are here and they’re ready to be used,” he pitched. “There are lot of people, domestically and internationally, who’s got love with your boy. I’m coming into this thing with some fans and some box office receipts behind my name and I say that proudly and humbly. I just think I deserve a shot at suiting up and becoming the Green Lantern.”

So can we look forward to seeing Gibson onstage at Hall H for Comic-Con International next month?
“You never know,” Tyrese said. “I might be there on the other side of an announcement. You never know.”

I find the guy sympathic, maybe he can be a good GL. But John si not really the same character he use to play in Transformers and Furious, so who knows what he's capable of.

I think it's going to be absolutely hilarious if Tyrese really ends up being a Green Lantern. That guy knew what he wanted and by job he tried with all his might.

John Stewart is the dullest character around, putting Tyrese in the role might actually get people to care about him
 

Mengy

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Series?

Also, this is DC's Guardians of the Galaxy (l the irony) they better do it good. Unlike GOTG.

Are you honestly saying that GotG was a bad movie? Really?

Green Lantern as an intergalactic space buddy cop franchise is an interesting idea though, lets hope they can make it a good movie this time.
 
My Fan Casting

Idris Elba - Hal Jordan
Chris Pine - John Stewart ( So he can forever be known as the Actor that portrays xenophiliac characters)
Tyrese - Guy Gardner (He's just annoying enough to ace Guy's Character)
Jack Black as Kyle Rayner

If only Paul Walker were still alive. We could have had 2 Green 2 Lantern.

But I'll take Lethal Weapon In Space.

Borrow all the titles from the Fast franchise

The Green and the Lantern
2 Green 2 Lantern
Green Lantern: Thanagar Drift
Green and Lantern
Green 5
Green Lantern 6
Lantern 7

I was never on the tyrese ship, always felt he couldn't carry a movie, but if they are going full blown lanterns and having 2-3 human lanterns, then why not. He is at his best when hes with an ensemble, only issue I have is John is not really a character that is jokey and funny. Sure he can be but he should be stern and by the book.

Just love that everyone realized the implications and were shocked. But Guy was like "Umm tell'em"

Isn't that sort of...small for a green lantern? Like can't they do much more with it? Batman doesn't even look surprised there.

They are not gonna do Tyresse because Warner doesnt wanna be laughed at for the next decade, he is not gonna get that role, nobody wants him on that role, whitewashing critics would prefer Donald Sterling to the role before Tyresse. They should cast him as the mushroom lantern and kill him in the movie to drive that point home.

eh w/e I don't care.


When I was a kid i liked green lantern because my eyes were green and so i got a green lantern toy and made him the guy who won every single fight.

but then know when i read about his shit on wikipedia and watched some cartoons about him he's just a guy who has a magic ring that can do anything. and now there's other people/aliens from every planet everywhere who can do the same thing.

what the hell? so basically, you're only the "green lantern" because you have the ring, and you can do anything you want because you believe in it. and also there are thousands of other beings across the galaxy that can do the same thing.

green lantern is lame.

superheroes are defined by their personal flaws and strengths.

superman is invincible, but he's too naive and way TOO magnanimous.

batman is great, but he has no superpowers so he's insecure and an untrusting egotistical self-centered manipulative demanding asshole.

flash is also basically invincible, but he's too cocky and arrogant.

wonder woman? she's awesome and invincible, but writers make her weak because shes a female. dicks.

green lantern? he's a guy with a magic harry potter ring. personal characteristics? he's a guy who has a ring.

Hal Jordan and John Stewart either as teachers, students or Abin Sur's ex partner having to deal with the new guy. I understand if this is a significant shift from the comics but I doubt DC is going to stay faithful to Green Lantern's lore after they already attempted it once.

Comics are just a vessel for movies for you aren't they? As none of this sounds like someone that knows anything about the characters he's talking about.

They need to include all the times Hal got knocked out, forget one punch, stick in Hal getting knocked out by branches, flying through yellow bill boards and the like. Or just slipping in the bathroom.
