I think Denzel could kill the role of John Stewart but I don't see him doing it. He only teams up with 1 whiteboy at a time and I don't see him playing 3rd wheel to these 2 cats. Age is not a factor.

Agreed. The John Stewart in the justice league cartoons (which is where he made his claim to fame) looked older anyway.

So its not a big deal. More so, its a fukkin hollywood adaptation.. so they could go the young route with a michael b jordan/chadwick boseman and make stewart be kinda like the 'rookie' of the group.. they could go with an idris and make him middle of the pack or they could go with a denzel and make him the older military vet like what he came across in the cartoon.

With that said, my first impression to all this is I don't see it happening.. because Denzel doesn't really fukk with these type of projects.

My 2nd impression is just general curiosity... like they really tryna have a black lex luther and a black green lantern AND they tryna woo the most popular modern day actor in the black community (besides will smith) for one of those two roles.. its like they saw that the avengers went straight vanilla with theirs and were like :patrice:... :jawalrus:

but of course its still hollywood, so i dont trust or expect anything from this shyt

but.. if they somehow snag denzel, and go on to throw in chadwick or michael b as cyborg, they'd have me like :lupe:

If Marvel or DC was going to take The Rock up on Playing anybody in their Univereses, I think they would have put their Bid in for this Guy. It was Cool to see him in Fast & Furious 5, interact with that Cast..he did Great. Bat Stans & Supe Stans might be a little :patrice: having The Rock looking much Bigger than their Favorites in MOS2.

What? :yeshrug: We're not making Fun of Gal Gadot anymore?????????:beli:

They should have Denzel play a rogue GL & turn him into a villain. Make it gritty. You build a story on a man that is old, bitter, pissed off from seeing people die from numerous wars between Planet Krypton Vs Planet Oa. Make it to where the planet Oa (home of the gl corps) were the ones actually responsible for the destruction of Krypton. Denzel gets word that one Krypton is still alive on earth. GL goes to earth & hunts this dude down.

Batman Vs Superman? Doesn't make any sense. You make up a story of some past beef between the GL's/Kryptons & Denzel comes to finish the job once & for all.

Have you seen Fruitvale Station breh? :aicmon:
no but i saw the wire and his scenes in chronicle just because you like him as an actor and the movie fruirvale station doesnt mean you should start gassing him up.Yeah there is a desperate need for the next gen of black actors but you cant just settle for anyone that comes along ppl need to realize this guy aint the one

Michael B. Jordan's been acting since he was a kid. Dude has done solid tv work (the Wire, Friday Night Lights) and he's on the come up. I don't think he's fit for John Stewart though. That part SHOULD go to an older actor

I don't think the rock should play him either. Common can and should be allowed to if he can nail the role.

Common doesn't look anything like John Stewart. His skin tone and face is too different. Moreover he's a horrible actor. Anyone else, please. I'm sure there is someone in the world who fits the John Stewart profile and can act. They found a new Spiderman easily enough.

Common was already cast and won the part of John in the know debunked Justice League movie... http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/02/08/exclusive-common-confirms-hes-green-lantern-in-justice-league/

This has already been dimissed as another DC rumour.

You know DC Comic Book movies have stayed with rumours since the 80s. You could make a thread worth of casting rumours with that that have spanned 25 years.
