The Official John Stewart Thread

[Webhead2006]

how old was the john stewart when he was given his gl ring?

 

[protocida]

Mid-20s/mid-30s, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[MadVillainy]

around Hal's age I think

 

[RockSP]

He's supposed to be younger than Hal, though it's possible they've retconned that too.

Djimon Hounsou

 

[RockSP]

Djimon Hounsou

John Stewart with a heavy accent...? Nah.

 

[protocida]

Idris Elba might be good.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Elba would work if someone as old as Worthington is cast.

Hopefully that's the case!

 

[protocida]

Yeah.

 

[Webhead2006]

thanks for the john ages guys i was just wondering what it was in the comics when he became a lantern.

 

[protocida]

I believe all of them (except Kyle) we're mid-20s/30s when they became GLs.

 

[Webhead2006]

ah ok

 

[protocida]

 

[Matt]

How about Erik King from Dexter?

 

[Lobo]

^I like that

 

[Matt]

Thank you, I'm suprised no one else mentioned it. I've been watching Dexter for 4 days and its just like, "Holy ****...this is John Stewart!"

 

[greenlantern248]

Yeah I can really see Erik as John

 

[Ion Kenshin]

I'd be totally cool with him playing John. He is great on Dexter

 

[protocida]

He's great, but there's something about him that screams "Psycho" for me.

I think it's the eyes...

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I'd prefer Erik King to be Luke Cage.

That'd be great!

 

[protocida]

I like Tyreese Gibson as Luke Cage.

 

[Webhead2006]

has there been any more movement on luke cage film?

 

[protocida]

Not really. I believe even John Singleton left the boat.

 

[RockSP]

I believe even John Singleton left the boat.

If true...

 

[MadVillainy]

Singleton is one of the better black directors out there. Boyz n da Hood, Four Brothers, Higher Learning. I would have been happy if he made it
