Zack Snyder added Martian Manhunter to his cut of Justice League during last year's final round of reshoots, and while he appeared in two scenes (his transformation outside Lois Lane's apartment and that final meeting with Bruce Wayne), it was only supposed to be one. 

The filmmaker wanted to use John Stewart in the epilogue, and even filmed the character's scenes with actor Wayne T. Carr. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. stepped in and pushed for that particular Green Lantern not to be used because the studio had plans for him elsewhere. That's probably the Green Lantern Corps movie, with the thinking being that having the hero debut in the Snyder Cut may have lessened the impact of his eventual arrival on the big screen a few years from now. 

As a result, Martian Manhunter replaced Stewart, and Carr's scenes were left on the cutting room floor.

During an Army of the Dead screening last night, Snyder finally shared a first look at Carr suited up as Green Lantern. While this photo (which isn't the greatest quality, unfortunately) only offers a glimpse at what the filmmaker had planned for Stewart, that costume looks pretty badass on the actor. 

Seeing as Green Lantern Corps is likely years away, there's really no reason this cameo couldn't have been allowed to happen. An appearance from John would have also been a much better tease for the SnyderVerse's future than Martian Manhunter, but perhaps that's why Warner Bros. said no?

Zack Snyder doing more for black representation in comicbook movies than Ta Nahesi Coates black Kal El, which will just revert back to a blue eyed white boy when it's convenient while the black version fades into obscurity. I'd rather a black Superman who isn't Clark Kent.

Race changed characters aren't representation, it's inverted black face.

@Chaos200 - wouldn't John Stewart only have had like a minute of screen time? Don't see that as being representation and more of a tease for things to come.
The actual movie had 1/6 main characters be black.
Wouldn't give Snyder too much credit here.


Plus we don't know what the Coates version of Superman is going to be until we've seen it. I have my issues with that move but would wait a bit till we actually see it to properly judge
