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

[Luke234]

Damn, Chris Pine really always seemed the best pick to me.

 

[David H.]

Don't worry. He'll get to play another DC pilot.

 

[KalvinEllis]

That's hardly a consolation. lol

 

[BlueLanternKal]

What if... John Boyega is cast as John Stewart.

Would be kind of crazy since he's already playing Idris' son in the Pacific Rim sequel. Seems fitting.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I haven't seen anything from Boyega that convinces me he's right for Stewart. I haven't seen Moonlight, but I've seen a few clips and Trevante Rhodes may be a strong choice

 

[Black Narcissus]

Aight, after seeing John Wick 2...Cast Common as John Stewart.

 

[Juan1193]

Heck no to Common as John Stewart! Besides he's already Tattoo Man in the DCEU!!

Trevante Rhodes is still my pick!

 

[Rorschach2012]

Sterling K Brown would be amazing

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Sterling K would be amazing but I'm pretty sure he's in Black Panther

I would actually gotten excited for John if they landed him.

Moonlight’s Trevante Rhodes Coyly Addresses Those Green Lantern Rumors

I just hit the floor.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Hot damn. I mean...

Lol, Rhodes would be amazing. Sadly, this is what the Hype has done to me. As I was watching the third act of Moonlight, in between holding back tears, I was thinking, "Damn this guy would make a great John Stewart."

 

[Lantern Venom]

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.

It's an amazing piece of writing, not to mention a sad state of affairs, that this scene would still work if you swap John for Simon Baz and Senator Clutcher with any of an alarming number of current politicians.

 

[KalvinEllis]

Just current? They never stopped being that way. This scene is interesting. Especially Hal trying to patronize John for being "irresponsible" when nowadays John is the one who would call Hal out on doing things without thinking them through.

 

[Bren]

I think that's very cool, not that I like him calling anyone 'whitey'. Degrades him a bit.
Gotta understand the situation, having the moral high ground - but I'd prefer him to be above that now.

From comic con 2015. An idea on what Jon would look like.

 

[The Guard]

Blurry?

 

[Guts]

Blurry?

Yep. If Green Lantern Corp flops then the actor playing John Stewart won't having anything to worry about because his face was blurred out of the movie and his name wasn't in the credits.

 

[KalvinEllis]

From comic con 2015. An idea on what Jon would look like.

I still don't get what exactly is this artwork showing us. Is this a bearded Hal to the left and a blurry image of John to the right?

 

[Guts]

I think it's John on the left. The hair looks too dark and thick to be Hal's.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I still can't believe that, after all this time, that's still the clearest image we have of that artwork.

 

[Lantern Venom]

I got Neal Adams to sign my John Stewart Retro Figure at Comic Con. I hope that I can add a 1/6 Hot Toys John Stewart movie figure to my collection in the next few years. Come on, WB, don't let me down!

 

[KalvinEllis]

Awesome bro!

 

[Lantern Venom]

Awesome bro!

Thanks. I have my whole GL collection in the "Show Off Your Inner Fanboy/girl" thread in the community section.

One reason, among many, that I'm desperate for at least one GL Corps film is non-Hal Jordan Green Lantern merch. Don't get me wrong, Hal is a huge favorite of mine, but he and Sinestro are the only two characters from the Lantern mythos that have gotten their just representation in figures and statues. John, Kyle, Guy, and Alan have woefully sparse checklists of merch.

 

[KalvinEllis]

No argument here. The more the merrier.

 

[legendkillin]

I want John to be the main GL or be the one that eventually joins the JL.
