We know that Zack Snyder shot scenes for Justice League with an actor suited up as Green Lantern John Stewart, and their identity has finally been revealed. Talking during yesterday's Justice Con virtual event, the filmmaker confirmed that Wayne T. Carr shot scenes as the iconic DC Comics superhero.
For those of you who may not know, Snyder hoped to include this member of the Green Lantern Corps in his cut of the movie before Warner Bros. stepped in and asked him not to due to their own plans for the character. As a result, that final scene with Bruce Wayne saw Stewart replaced by Martian Manhunter.
"Jojo [Aguilar] did that based on the actor that we used," Snyder said of the concept art above. "[It's] a guy named Wayne T. Carr. I told [him], 'Look, there's a chance that this doesn't make it in the movie. We are shooting it in my driveway.' He's amazing and I was talking to him the other day and he loved the movie. He was super excited for everyone and the reception the film has gotten."
As for what he wore on set, Snyder explained: "We had made him a CG suit, because it was COVID, and we couldn't really do a real suit. I mean, the mandate was to make it look as physical as possible. What I had seen was, of course, not finished, but I was very confident that even if we were to see him again, and we had to make him a real suit, it would match exactly."
Carr has only a handful of acting credits to his name, including Stuck in the Middle, S.W.A.T., and Stupid Cupid. He certainly looks the part of John Stewart, though, as you can see below:
