Forbes takes shots at Tyrese on Green Lantern role... Tyrese responds

[loyola llothta]

Why is Idris always the go to for any black super hero role? You all do realize that there are other talented black actor's out there right?

Because he's popping and popular right now its that simple

 

[Monoblock]

Give it to Michael jai white....

As much as I like MJW he cannot act.

 

[Primetime]

Superheroes need to have a commanding presence. Idris doesn't just have that, he basks in it. That's why it's easy to make him first pick on every role, especially since he also got most of his peers beat in talent.

Yup. It's like asking "Why do you always want that prime Michael Jordan guy on your team when there's countless other black basketball players known and unknown that you could draft? Why not give Boobie Gibson a chance?" ....

Yea.. Boobie Gibson, let's give him the keys to the franchise

But really, Idris is stuck at Marvel. It's not happening, plus rumors are they are announcing a Hal/JStewart buddy cop route GL movie at comic con, which is in a couple weeks. So either it will be Tyrese or they've already cast an unknown that they'll introduce along with Chris Pine (as Hal) at comic con. Stewart is my favorite DC superhero, and I'd rather they cast an unknown like they did with Cyborg than Tyrese. But it's whatever at this point.

Did he really reference his role in waist deep?

Cosign...breh coulda been bigga than what he is.

 

[Chris Cool]

john stewart is a dope character but dude is a straight edge stiff and MJW can pull that off easily

 

[Bawon Samedi]

At first I was gonna defend Tyrese, but I agree I don't think he's a right fit. Hell I don't think he's capable of leading a high budget film..

 

[Big Blue]

I understand why Ty got upset, I would be too. But why respond?????

I think that needs to change and the right actor can bring a new dynamic to John like we hsvent seen before. With that being said, John is a straight laced, cerebral Marine, and Tyrese is like the funny soldier who doesnt take his role seriously. After his role on Transformers, I dont see him as that commanding, straight-laced Marine who led the Justice League in the Cartoons. He has a flat character but Tyrese MIGHT bring another side to him.

Tyrese responds to everyone that attacks his brand. He doesn't play that shyt. He can get away with it too because he has a good work ethic and great relationship with folks in hollywood.

 

[Trapperman Dave]

We talking factual facts people

 

[Numero Deux]

I've recommended him for roles before, and I will continue to do so: get my man Aldis Hodge on the job.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Tyrese is a cornball. I don't want to see him in anything.
