Is Tyrese Gibson Meeting With Warner Bros. About Playing GREEN LANTERN?

If you thought Tyrese Gibson was all talk and no action, you may want to think again! After spending the past few days expressing his interest in bringing Green Lantern to life on the big screen, it appears as if the buzz surrounding that has worked out for him. The story has been on every entertainment site there is (including the trades), so Warner Bros. must have noticed. 

Could he be John Stewart in Justice League? That remains to be seen, but it could be that the studio decide to offer him some sort of role regardless. If that seems unlikely, just cast your mind back to how that worked out for his Fast & Furious co-star Vin Diesel with Marvel...what do you think?

 

I don't talk..... I move..... #WB #GreenLanternMission

I haven't seen him in enough material to get a sense of his acting (but he doesn't look like a good fit based off of the F7 trailer).

Shame on him for operating a phone while driving.

Don't do it WB. Reach out to Common to see if he still wants to play Green Lantern.

He's as old as Batfleck and has a Golden Globe. Sure the Globe is for music but everyone defended Batfleck with his Oscars in writing and directing.

Common's stock is going up.

John Stewart for the JL films and Hal for the solo movie with John there as well.

He was probably going to drop off Vin Diesel's lunch or something.

So, he'll be a comedy act?

I don't think Gibson is a terrible actor I just don't get John Stewart from him. Seeing him in Transformers, Four Brothers, and the Fast and the Furious films he just doesn't work as John Stewart and that is probably to blame with Phil Lamarr playing Stewart so well in the cartoon series. Maybe he will surprise me if he is playing Stewart but I am less then thrilled right now.

I would prefer Common to Gibson. But either will do I guess.

You know what maybe it's a good idea Tyrese is letting WB know that he should be John Stewart, but not for him to be cast only the idea of using John Stewart as the main Green Lantern instead of Hal.

If Tyrese is John Stewart that means

Tyrese is John Stewart
Gal is Wonder Woman
The Rock is Black Adam

The DCCU is taking notes from Arrow and Flash by casting through a series. I'd say next they should cast Paul Walker as Deadman.

i wouldn't mind if he play john stewart but i don't think he could hold his own movie. Maybe if they did like a green lantern corps movie with all the lantern then he'll be fine

Guys he's probably going to try and convince them because the hashtag is I don't talk I move, meaning he is going to try and take action over words in convincing wb

Ya'll should be happy that Tyrese might be able to change WB's mind and use John Stewart instead of Hal Jordan. But I don't know about him being cast tho.

He leaked out info about the Jurassic World, Terminator Genisys, Star Wars Episode VII, Avengers 2, and Fantastic Four trailers.

@Fairyemblem92 WB can make Green Lantern like Ant-man and here me out on this. In Ant-man Scott Lang is Ant man and Hank pym is the former Ant-man, so how about make John Stewart the main Green Lantern, but Hal Jordan is already the leader of the Green Lantern corps?

I think the key word here is that he said "mission" rather than making it seem like as if he got the role. I honestly think he's just auditioning to be honest. Too bad Elba can't get his hands on the role. He gives the feeling like he could honestly care less about the Thor films. lol Too bad. :(

However, I wouldn't mind seeing Michael Jai White get the role. Come on man, Look at the man...



But he's already been on Arrow...another loss. lol

Just give it to him. Anything so we don't get Hal Jordan on screen again.

Idris or gtfo.
Still I'd rather see Hal Jordan regardless.

Tyrese is so desperate he is approaching a Sean Young level of creepiness.
For those that never heard of this story:

"Young was next cast as Vicki Vale in Tim Burton's 1989 film Batman, but during rehearsals, she broke her arm after falling off a horse and was replaced by Kim Basinger.
In an unsuccessful attempt to win the role of Catwoman (which was originally offered to Annette Bening but ultimately went to Michelle Pfeiffer after Bening became pregnant) in the sequel Batman Returns, Young constructed a homemade Catwoman costume and attempted to confront Burton and actor Michael Keaton during production."
