A lot of people. Anyone other than John Boyega

Trevante Rhodes is my pick he's way too good an actor but I feel like he hasn't been given as much high-profile roles as he should've imo (also wouldn't mind John Washington and Michael B. Jordan either tbh).

Either of these two could play Jon Stewart.

@marvel72 - I'm currently in an argument with someone about the little mermaid. I can guarantee that they'd riot over this despite being fine with Ariel.

@marvel72 - Gosling would be great in the role. The folks that are fine with race swaps always say that if the characters race isn’t essential to their character, then race swaps are ok right?

@marvel72 - I was just thinking this list lacked diversity.

In all seriousness though, I think most of these actors would be fine choices, but my bottom two would be Page and Washington for different reasons.

How come every time there's one of these casting calls for say Superman, or Wonder Woman, or any white character, there's always a black or Asian actor thrown in there. But for John Stewart, oh no, don't you dare mess with that.

That said, Glen Powell for John Stewart, Green Lantern. Him or Henry Golding. I mean, John Stewart is one of those characters who can be race swapped.

@IronMan616 - hypocrisy. That's why.

@IronMan616 - Excuse this silly analogy, but I think of it like a race: one racer sabotaged the other racers by constantly putting obstacles in their paths, so now he's ahead. Eventually the other racers start getting boosts to compensate for the cheating/obstacles, which makes sense. But what you're saying is that the racer in front should be getting those same boosts as well... which doesn't make sense.

Representation matters, especially to those who have had a disproportionate lack of representation.

@IronMan616 - So you want to racebend DC's literal first black superhero just to be petty?
Origame
Origame - 4/28/2023, 3:12 PM
@BB8ANG - nobody is saying representation doesn't matter. Just don't race swap characters to get it. Everyone here pointing out the hypocrisy want characters like John Stewart out there. They just don't want a black Hal Jordan.

Get where I'm coming from?

@comicfan100 - Who's being petty? Glen Powell would make a fantastic John Stewart Green Lantern. What's wrong with that casting?
IronMan616
IronMan616 - 4/28/2023, 3:22 PM
@comicfan100 - Also, people are ok with race bending Superman, DC's literal first white superhero. Wonder Woman, DC's most popular superheroine. People are ok with race bending Charles Xavier and Magento, two of Marvel's most iconic characters. They want to racebend them, but would lose their shit if Storm is light skinned in the X-Men movies.

I'm not being petty, just pointing out the hypocrisy.

I'd like to see Elba as JS. Give me Pratt as Hal Jordan.
Origame
Origame - 4/28/2023, 1:28 PM
@Mother[frick]erJon - eh, Hal should definitely be older than John. And I'd rather have a john who is still fairly youthful. More like someone about to leave his tour of duty. Maybe Anthony Mackie (though in terms of age since he's stuck with cap)
MotherFuckerJon
MotherFuckerJon - 4/28/2023, 1:31 PM
@Origame - Stewart doesn't necessarily have to be younger than Hal. Pratt isn't that much younger than Elba I don't think. You could have them both come from a military background with Stewart being the superior in rank to Jordan.
Origame
Origame - 4/28/2023, 1:34 PM
@Mother[frick]erJon - eh I guess not. But Hal has always been the senior to the other earth lanterns that having Stewart be older than him doesn't feel right.

Also it doesn't make sense to have Stewart outrank Jordan since they're in different branches of the military.
mountainman
mountainman - 4/28/2023, 1:46 PM
@Mother[frick]erJon - If rather see Pratt as Booster Gold than as Hal.

I'm sure Leslie Odom Jr. would be great if he took the role.

Im sure he could do it but if they cast Regé-Jean Page you would see the Lilo and Stich haters complaining he isnt dark enough, saying somone should take him out so they can cast a darker person
