[Hush]

I really dont want Stewart and the fact that it isnt Hal or Kyle for that matter which would be ideal truly ruins alot of this movie for me.

did stewart ruin JL/JLU for you?

 

[spider-neil]

I don't think he's coming back in Season 2. And don't think playing Green Latern and D.L. is that big a deal since people here try to suggest Jessica Alba for every single female comic book role short of Aunt May & Ma.


Anyone suggest Roger Cross, the guy that plays Curtis in 24?

roger cross is a great choice, DL from heroes looks too young for the part.

 

[Nokio]

thats exactly what i thought the second i saw that guy!...still...wish they were going with Kyle rayner-but as the previous discussions show people will always want the version of GL they most identify with

Great if only he wasn't doing stage plays and is commited to those right now.

 

[Nokio]

As much as I want Hal Jordan. If they go with Stewart here is your man...

Morris Chestnut

I'm almost a 100 percent sure that WB would not cast him cause this is an actor where to many fans wouldn't be against him. I fear who they will get for GL. Tyrese just keep popping up as someone WB would cast. God i hope not, but when it comes to black actors WB and other studios just go we need a black actor unless it's the big five black actors who have more of a choice. Denzil, Will, Sam, Morgan and Halle. They aren't going to look for who's the best fit for John. Pretty much any bald black guy would be fine for them as long as he can scowl and be the angry black man.

 

[Nokio]

What about Leonard Roberts a.k.a. D.L.?

No and why is JS bald now all of a sudden?

 

[Franklin Richards]

If I HAVE to have John, I want him to look like he did when he got the ring.


Afro baby.


:gl: :gl: :gl:

like i said before,everyone wants the character they most relate to-and for me thats Kyle,i think Guy is a much more interesting GL than John but thats besides the point...hey at least we arent getting this:

 

[TheLongestDay]

Erik King would be great as John too

 

[GreenKToo]

morris chestnut, and after seeing pursuit of happiness, i'd be kool with will smith as well.

 

[Hole Shot]

Wait. Doesn't Hollywood have a rule that Samuel L. Jackson has the first right of refusal of all cool black male roles prior to casting anyone else?

roger cross is a great choice, DL from heroes looks too young for the part.

Now that I look back, DL is wrong.

Curtis is a bad ass. I'm sticking with my Roger Cross suggestion just so someone besides Chestnut is in the mix. (ewww, horrible pun, not intentional)

No and why is JS bald now all of a sudden?

There's this new scientific craze taking the country by storm - it's called GROWING HAIR!

 

[TheLongestDay]

Wait. Doesn't Hollywood have a rule that Samuel L. Jackson has the first right of refusal of all cool black male roles prior to casting anyone else?

the funny thing is,after the JLA cartoon turned into JLU,they made John alot more Samuel L. Jackson-like!

 

[TheLongestDay]

 

[Hole Shot]

Yup, that's Curtis on the left. I'm right, I rule! The guy on the right is DMX.

 

[TheLongestDay]

wierd how none of the other characters looks changed

 

[Nokio]

morris chestnut, and after seeing pursuit of happiness, i'd be kool with will smith as well.

Oh Will Smith would be cool, but he'd become the star of the show and eat up a good chunk of the budget. The last thing WB needs to do is cast known actors who will eat up the budget. It'll be Xmen, where it'll cost a 100 mil for the cast alone after two films.

 

[Nokio]

Erik King would be great as John too

Oh lord no. Not another sterotypical casting choice. A bald black guy looking mean and scowling. This is becoming standard in hollywood and to white people. We do actually have hair and don't all look mean.

 

[Hole Shot]

Oh lord no. Not another sterotypical casting choice. A bald black guy looking mean and scowling. This is becoming standard in hollywood and to white people. We do actually have hair and don't all look mean.

And again, I point to Roger Cross!!!

 

[TheLongestDay]

thats pretty much all John Stewart does lol!...besides,im sure he could grow hair...

 

[TheLongestDay]

besides my suggestions are based off of acting ability and presence

 

[TheLongestDay]

Erik King as John Stewart

Jared Leto as Kyle Rayner

Josh Holloway as Guy Gardner

Peter Krause as Hal Jordan

 

[Excel]

 

[Advanced Dark]

I wanted Hal Jordon damnit.

 

[Hole Shot]

Mixing him with Biel would remind people of Stealth. That'd be bad.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Besides his teeth always bugged me. They look fake. GL didn't have fake teeth.
