There were rumors way back in 2015 of there being a
Green Lantern reboot in the works. In much more recent news it was confirmed last week that
David Goyer and Justin Rhodes were brought on as writers for a Green Lantern Corps film. Deadline even reported that Hal Jordan and John Stewart would be the top ring-bearing duos in the "Lethal Weapon in space" premise that's been rumored.
With all of this news for Green Lantern fans we had to ask ourselves, who could play John Stewart and what would they look like? How about Mahershala Ali from Marvel/Netflix'
Luke Cage? He was great as Cottonmouth, and has some chops, but what would he look like as the Green Lantern / John Steart? Luckily we have Hamza Javed (
hjaved.art) to answer that last question for us in this exclusive piece of fan-art! Hamza actually created two versions of the artwork, one with the standard "Hero" pose and the otherwith Ali's eyes glowing with lantern power. Could Mahershala Ali be up for the role of John Stewart? We have no idea, but we know he would look awesome as a Green Lantern! Want to view a larger, high-resolution version of the images below? Click on them!

About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
