Tyrese Gibson As 'John Stewart'? TRANSFORMERS Star Charges Up GREEN LANTERN 'Rumor'
Is Tyrese teasing that he's up for the Green Lantern role in the planned reboot, or is his most recent post on Instagram just his shameless way of lobbying for the part? Check it out after the jump!
As Warner Bros. announced last year, the Green Lantern reboot is set for release on June 19, 2020, and is currently the last DC Comics film on the studio's superhero slate. However, it's been implied that a fresh take on the Emerald Crusader will feature in Zack Snyder's two-part Justice League movies in 2017 and 2018, which makes it somewhat interesting that singer/actor Tyrese Gibson (Transformers) recently posted fan-art of himself as the Green Lantern on Instagram and with the caption: "Rumor has it that." Given this would be a Warner Bros. production, Gibson is not likely teasing that he has the role or is even in talks, but he could be taking cues from his Fast & Furious 6 co-star Vin Diesel, whose social media lobbying landed him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sure, this might not be the best way to join DC's Universe, but what do you think of the Green Lantern reboot focusing on the John Stewart iteration and with Tyrese Gibson behind his portrayal?
