It is being reported currently by ComicBook.com and the PopCorn Talk youtube channel that John Stewart is being cast in the upcoming DC Comics/Warner Bros ‘Green Lantern’ movie (tentative release of 2020). While the ComicBook.com headline states that John Stewart is the “lead” in the feature, it seems like this is, as yet, not the case. The rumor is that they’re looking to “cast” John Stewart, not that they’re looking to “cast John Stewart as the LEAD”.

 

At this point, all of this is RUMOR. So the whole thing could prove to be false or 100% true, lead character and all.

 

The source video is posted below for those interested (Green Lantern talk starts at 21:35):

 

 

Co-Host Chad Bokelman took to twitter with his thoughts on the news:

 

(cont.) THAT BEING SAID: It makes sense if #JohnStewart IS the lead #GreenLantern. Especially with the darker #DCComics movie universe.

#JohnStewart isn’t who I personally wanted for the 2020 #GreenLantern movie, but I’m not AGAINST it either. -Chad — The LanternCast (@lanterncast) April 17, 2015

Honestly, what I think or expect from #johnstewart as #GreenLantern will rest MOSTLY on how the #DCMU shapes up in the comics years films.

If #BatmanvSuperman sucks, #SuicideSquad sucks, etc. then yeah. I’ll expect this #johnstewart #greenlantern to not garner my excitement. — The LanternCast (@lanterncast) April 17, 2015

But SOLEY in concept form, not taking into consideration present concerns about the #DCcomics movies, I like the idea of #johnstewart as GL.

Co-Host Mark Marble, movie buff extraordinaire, had this to say:  

 

Until the #JohnStewart rumors are confirmed, to me, this is just more of the endless speculation we’ve heard about #GL. – Mark — The LanternCast (@lanterncast) April 17, 2015

And #JohnStewart could just be one of many GLs in the movie to begin with. Just make a decision and announcement, #WB, #DCcomics– Mark
