No evil shall escape my sight...The Official John Stewart Thread

[CaptainWagner]

Michael B. Jordan is an interesting pick, and I'd love to see him get a second chance at a superhero. My current top choice, though, is Leslie Odom Jr.:

 

[aNarcHy2day]

Isn't he more of a musician or something?

 

[CaptainWagner]

Isn't he more of a musician or something?

He's currently starring on Broadway, but he's acted extensively on TV. I mostly know him from his recurring role on Person of Interest and he has great stage presence. After all, Hugh Jackman was a nobody Australian musical star when he got cast as Wolverine.

David Ramsey or Nate Parker for John imo.

 

[BMCAABY]

Why is David Ramsey always fan cast as this role, he is an okay actor. Just because he plays a guy named John doesn't mean he is best choice. Like what the heck.

 

[BMCAABY]

 

[BlueLanternKal]

He can write, act, and direct. He'd be a steal. WB could probably sign him up in exchange for support and distribution on his solo projects.

Nate Parker as John Stewart he actually would be perfect but knowing DC they would probably go for someone bigger like Idris to play John or even Common

 

[Rowsdower!]

Common is already playing another DC character in Suicide Squad, so it won't be him.

 

[Tg11]

Then how about Tyrese or Taye Diggs or Morris Chestnut to play John

 

[David H.]

I don't think any of them have the right amount or recognition to be candidates. It's kind of a superficial argument but I think it's true. Think more along the line of the aforementioned Parker or David Oyelowo. Elba is too big/busy for it right now.

 

[Tg11]

Then Oyelowo would be my pick

 

[CaptainWagner]

Then Oyelowo would be my pick

He's my pick for J'Onn J'Onnz, actually. But I could see him as Stewart, too.

 

[Luke234]

What is the personality types and ages you guys would like to see mesh wel with the current cast?

 

[mace1]

Nate parker could have been blue marvel as well in the mcu.
There are others that could play blue marvel like Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and some others.

Nate parker got in trouble recently so he will have trouble playing john stewart or blue marvel.

Neal is awesome! I lol every time I hear him talk about how they wanted to name him "Lincoln Washington". Cool hearing him explain why it was so dumb not to have John as the star of the movie. They deserved to lose all that money and then some. Fools

 

[Silvermoth]

I just hope we don't get a totally humourless John Stewart!

 

[MbJ]

In addition to any military stuff I would also like them to focus on his different worldview when compared to Hal's. It'd be an interesting clash of personalities.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Hope John is also an architect. USMC sniper to architect is super specific and in itself says a lot about John as a person.

Agreed, it would be enjoyable to display a kind of emotional difference. While JL/JLU John was a good straightman and serious character bouncing off against Wally and Shayera, it would probably be good to have elements of early Dennis O'Neil John and Mosiac era John either, to really get an interesting John Stewart personality imo.

I'm so glad we are getting John Stewart! The character is a part of my childhood and to see him on the big screen in live action is this fanboys dream come true!!

Fingers crossed for Jaime Reyes, Jessica Cruz and Raven showing up in the DCEU in the future!

 

[Rorschach2012]

There's literally noooo chance Nate Parker will be cast. I'm pulling for David Oyelowo

 

[Rorschach2012]

They're going with Hal again. Clearly WB doesn't feel the same way as you or else they would've retired Hal for the movies.

I'm glad we're getting John and Hal, that's clearly the best route. You can't get rid of Hal, he's simply too important. This is demonstrated by the damage that was done to the GL mythology in the DCAU where Hal doesn't exist.

Can't wait to see Hal and John on the big screen. Loving the idea of a Lethal Weapon dynamic. This is going to be something special!

I think it works best if you have John as the straight man in the dynamic, with Hal providing most of the comic relief

Sweet bro. I hope one day the DCEU will expand it's territory even further and feature all these Superheroes you mentioned.

I'm very happy that GLC will focus on both Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Make the Lanterns great again.
