Tyrese Gibson Continues To Tease That He and Chris Pine Are GREEN LANTERNS

Tyrese Gibson really wants us to believe that he and Star Trek Into Darkness actor Chris Pine will be the DC Cinematic Universe's new Green Lanterns, John Stewart and Hal Jordan. Apparently "Oaths have been taken..."

Tyrese Gibson's campaign to play Green Lantern in the DC Cinematic Universe went dormant for a time before a recent report from Latino Review, which stated that their sources were telling the site that Pine was not playing Steve Trevor in the standalone Wonder Woman movie, but instead, was actually Hal Jordan. The site further reported that the DCCU would be looking to introduce the full Green Lantern Corps. right off the bat, instead of focusing on an origin story for Hal. This would include debuts for John Stewart and potentially Guy Gardner as well (no word on Alan Scott, Kyle Ranner or Simon Baz).

Well, this latest rumor seems to have reunited Gibson's campaign. He appears to definitely be taking a page out of his Fast & Furious co-star Vin Diesel's playbook, as Diesel teased involvement with Marvel Studios LONG before he'd ever even had a meeting with Kevin Feige. His efforts and fan support seemingly rewarded him the role of Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy and the current scuttlebutt is that Diesel has been pegged to play Black Bolt in an Inhumans movie.

Could the same approach work for Gibson? Time will tell.

#TheOath has been taken.....

Wow.

DAMN - 6/27/2015, 9:23 AM

this is just pathetic

TheDarkPassenger - 6/27/2015, 9:24 AM

I'm gonna laugh my ass off if he doesn't get casted.

Wannabe - 6/27/2015, 9:24 AM

I honestly don't see the issue here. I like both these actors and would watch this film 11 times if they were both cast in it.

Brainiac13 - 6/27/2015, 9:25 AM

I don't think Snyder would Direct this....but I would love to see JJ Abrams take on GL....

blackandyellow - 6/27/2015, 9:26 AM

Nobody gives a shit about John Stewart so just let Tyrese do it.

NeatoBurrito - 6/27/2015, 9:27 AM

when is this nikka gonna stop being desperate
you not getting the role

CombatWombat - 6/27/2015, 9:28 AM

"I'm gonna laugh my ass off if he doesn't get casted."

Ditto.

MonkJunky - 6/27/2015, 9:28 AM

Tyrese can't play serious. Comedic actor terry crews would kill it as john Stewart.
Maybe Tyrese is going for Hal Jordan.

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 6/27/2015, 9:29 AM

I think the only movie I liked Tyrese in was Four Brothers.

LEVITIKUZ - 6/27/2015, 9:30 AM

Tyrese right now.

McGee - 6/27/2015, 9:30 AM

He's thirsty for it and it'll rustle jimmies. I'm all for it.

DrKinsolving - 6/27/2015, 9:30 AM

Noooooooooooooooooooo

Yes to Chris Pine though

Batman5 - 6/27/2015, 9:31 AM

i would love this. pine as hal is perfect, and tyresee would rock as john stewart. I dont understand all the hate he gets on here, he obviously is a real big fan and wants the part. His hearts already in it, i say let him go for it!

Minty - 6/27/2015, 9:32 AM

Lol, never thought I'd get the chance to use this meme again...

Apologies, ever since @SauronsBANE introduced me to that piece of vocabulary in one of his great editorials I've been a big fan ;)

BlackIceJoe - 6/27/2015, 9:33 AM

Not a fan of Tyrese for the job, Chris I'd be fine with. I just don't like the beak nose mask.

AbhiShake - 6/27/2015, 9:34 AM

[frick] Tyrese.

How pathetic he sounds, have some class dude.

If WB are going to announce GL in SDCC, then I am pretty sure they already have the cast and Tyrese have no clue about it.

DrKinsolving - 6/27/2015, 9:35 AM

@Minty

Haha, the theme song, by the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan

Battabing - 6/27/2015, 9:37 AM

If Tyrese can play it seriously, then I'll accept it.

Now sign this guy up as Guy Gardner.

Minty - 6/27/2015, 9:38 AM

Haha @DrKinsolving, I'll be playing that on repeat for the rest of the day :)

SuperiorMrGod - 6/27/2015, 9:39 AM

To bad I was hoping they would hire someone who isn't annoying as crap as John.

Oh well at least we get HAL MUTHFUKIN JORDAN!!!!!! @ Gusto

Battabing - 6/27/2015, 9:40 AM

Tyrese, if you are Stewart, play it straight.
Don't go Spader-as-Ultron on us.

NeoBaggins - 6/27/2015, 9:40 AM

Elba embodies the character of John Stewart. Won't happen tho.

MrAmerica - 6/27/2015, 9:42 AM

If Chris Pine is getting cast as the new Hal Jordan they better do something with his costume reynold's costume where CGI, what we need is a real spandex suit and a real mask.

speedyg33 - 6/27/2015, 9:43 AM

If DC is serious about the character of John Stewart the role calls for a different actor. I like Tyrese in FF, but I just don't see him as Stewart.

LEVITIKUZ - 6/27/2015, 9:44 AM

Honestly I don't mind Tyrese if he can play the role seriously but I just want a better actor.

LEVITIKUZ - 6/27/2015, 9:45 AM

@0megaDaGr0dd

Who he?

LastOfKrypton - 6/27/2015, 9:46 AM

Tevii - 6/27/2015, 9:47 AM

It's funny how people say we need a good actor to play Jon.... Jon is such a bland, boring character, Tyrese might actually make him have some character.... And if you just want the real Jon Stewart all he has to do is brood.... Any actor can pull that off.

CHris Pine is PERFECT for Hal!
Super excited if this is true... Time for a real GL Corps
