I can see Sterling or Trevante Rhodes.
but why James? he seems a bit too old now

Is this still even getting made? WB seems focused on making brand new DC movies besides the ones they announced forever ago.
Everything is in flux right now. Last year's plans might as well have been a century ago.
Plus by 2020 ppl will have forgotten about the 2011 GL that flopped if they havent already. Ryan Reynolds has done enough Deadpooling by now.
I'm really not digging these rumors about the script. I understand not wanting to use Hal as the main character and having Jessica Cruz be a focal point in the story. But why Simon Baz over John Stewart? I'd much rather see a movie where Jon is the lead (or co-lead) rather than a character who has been a round for less than a decade (and has the stupidest GL costume of all). I have no problem if Baz is in the movie but I'd much rather the male lead be John or Kyle.

By not doing it like Star Wars at all (thinking more like Star Trek instead) or not literally grounding it to the point of that GL movie (best scenes involved other lanterns & not on Earth).What a GL movie has going for it is little to no association to the negative press surrounding the DCEU. The way JL turned out they are lucky GL wasnt in it other than the ring that popped up in the flashback. Not that Aquaman cant be successful despite its JL continuity, WW was, but GL doesnt have much to do with the way the DCEU is right now.

But GL is hit or miss. It's inherently hard to film b/c of how much CGI is required and the mere concept of millions of beings running around in spandex with magic green rings. How do you make that for real the way its been in the comics and not cheesy? Do it right and it can be like Star Wars. Do it wrong, it ends up like 2011.

Yeah, but Johns also has a hard on for Hal.
Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Jessica Cruz would make for a perfect Trinity in the GL franchise. Those 3 are getting the most attention lately anyway, so it makes sense.
One of Johns first projects will be Green Lantern Corps, based on DCs intergalactic police heroes which Johns is already very familiar with, having spent nine years writing Green Lantern comics and its spin-offs and publishing events. Johns will write the screenplay and act as one of the producers on the feature film. Johns is already writing and producing Wonder Woman 2 and will have a co-writing and executive producing credit on Aquaman, this year's only DC offering that opens in December.
