I have only seen Duhamel in Transformers as well, but honestly if they just took the character he playes in Transformers, slap a green mask on him and a ring - voila! You got a perfect Green Lantern for a JLA film, IMO.
 
If it's Will, a huge star and talent like that? I actually wouldn't care. Otherwise, people might start missing Hal quite a bit and complain about it.
 
It would be huge, but personally I don't see Smith as Stewart at all. I have feeling he'd be too Will Smith, and not John Stewart enough.

I could see WB making John Stewart a bit more 'fun', a bit more 'Will Smith', if he was cast.

At the same time, I could see Smith being interested if the character was extremely different from the usual Will Smith fare; serious, war-vet, etc.

I could live with any Will Smith interpretation though. Serious or not, especially if it gave us more Green Lantern movies.

I think yourvright unfortunately Iean it happened with the last Green Lantern so it goes to reason they would do it for this one if given the opportunity. It's not just WB either Marvel even did iy with Iron Man.
 
unless they sign him to 15 movies, i doubt a mega-star like the immortal will smith would sign on. he's immortal. has not aged since fresh prince.

Actually, if there had not been a GL movie that quite emphatically tanked at the BO, I think Will Smith wouldn't quite have been against the idea of playing JS as much I assume he would be now!

Now he'd be freaked at the idea of playing a role as another Lantern!
 
I expect John Stewart to be featured in JL, instead of spending money on a well known actor like Will Smith, WB will go for a TV actor (saving money) for Stewart.
 
I see it from a financial success point of view.

I don't and i doubt WB would either. Aside from the fact will would command likely $20 million or near it as well as a back-end percentage deal, his box office clout isn't what it used to be.

Look at the avengers aside from RDJ (who already proved he could sell a SH film) they were all lower-tiered stars who were cast in the roles. It keeps costs down for what is essentially an already mega expensive venture. I think chris evans was actually paid only $250,000 for first avenger.

Who? That guy in the Green Lantern movie? That can't be right, Green Lantern's black! :o

You'd probably be un-surprised how many times I've heard that from a member of the GA.
 
will does'nt really scream bad ass he plays a great funny/cocky character like bad boys and MIBr or a good emotional character like pursuit of happiness or seven pounds

Yeah ur right, I've heard this too. I do believe that Stewart has been more popular than Hal through the years.

C'mon Project! Will Smith is bad-ass's second name!
:whatever:
 
My pick for MM, Lance Reddick will be voicing Ra's Al Ghul in Beware The Batman. Interesting choice.

So he's at least open minded to DC characters! Good sign I guess?
 
John's supposed to be older, isn't he? He was a marine before he was an architect, so I always imagined him being around late-30's/early-40's when he became a Green Lantern.
 
Plus, I imagine John as a guy with darker skin than Williams has. Also his eye color, but that could be changed with contacts. He still doesn't really fit even with that possibility, though.
