Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to play John Stewart?

[spliz]

I said "start" a franchise, fool. RDJ is 48 now after 3 full movies and a spinoff movie.

Michael Jai White is in FAR better shape and looks far younger than Robert Downey Jr..and RDJ was still in his 40s when the franchise started so I don't see what u gettin at..

Look, there is a big difference between early 40s and late 40s. Like i said RDJ is 48 now, and since turning 48, he's done 4 movies. You want to start a franchise with a guy who is 46 now... so if they got a script together and started pre production today, by the time the movie is released, White would just be turning 48. And that's just one movie.

Studios want to start a franchise with young guys to build a franchise with as young as possible. It's just that simple. Thats why typically whenever studios sign on an actor to do a comic book movie, they do multi-picture deals.

Idris Elba would actually make a perfect John Stewart but Marvel's got him locked up playing 4th fiddle in the Thor franchise....

Idris would nail the role

Ok

Y'all Michael Jai stans gotta chill

Why would you even want him for that role, it's not like Green Lantern is some hand to hand kung fu ass nikka anyway.

Plus he's already Bronze Tiger

 

[Peter Parker]

How is the Rock not black, you see that shirt nikka?

 

[Arson Welles]

The Rock would KILL as Black Adam.

Though he would be an awesome Namor too.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Naw they killed Cyclops off in Last Stand BECAUSE Mardsen went over with Singer to do Super-lame Returns and Reynolds did Green Lantern only AFTER he couldn't get the solo Deadpool movie off the ground. I'm sure nowadays with so much competition amongst the studios they would heavily frown upon having someone recognizable like Idris playing a LEAD in a competing tentpole

You're wrong about one thing. Ryan had been signed on to play both Deadpool AND Green Lantern. It wasn't a deal like "it just fell in his lap"

I remember interviews years back when he mentioned it

 

[Soundbwoy]

what about common as john stewart

That nikka can't act

Both characters, especially Namor, got a large amount of swag I think the Rock could pull off
