When the first official image of DC Cinematic Universe's "Justice League" was released, one thing fans noticed is the absence of Green Lantern from the ensemble composed of Superman (Henry Cavill), Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher); hence early rumors circulate the Web that Green Lantern will not be part (yet) of "Justice League: Part One."
A recent report, however, revealed that the Green Lantern role has already been landed and that the hero may, indeed, appear in the first installment of "Justice League." According to Cinema Blend, actor Tyrese Gibson may have a shot at the Green Lantern role after his campaign for the green-clad space cop.
Speaking to Larry King on the show, "Larry King Now," Tyrese Gibson revealed that he had a meeting with Warner Bros. for the possibility of portraying Green Lantern and be part of the esteemed "Justice League."
"You know, there have been other artists, actors and actresses who have put up images of them as a comic book character and ended up landing a role. So I was like, it's worth giving it a shot," Tyrese Gibson told Larry King in "Larry King Now."
Cinema Blend, in its report, said that Gibson early on last year, has "actively campaigned" for the Green Lantern role and it seemed Warner Bros. has finally caught on. The report also added that with Gibson's personality, he may portray a more arrogant member of the Green Lantern Corps, perhaps Guy Gardner or even Hal Jordan.
Meanwhile, Movie Pilot named a few actors that may be perfect for the members of the "Green Lantern Corps," whose movie will be released in 2020. In its report, it named actors Dan Amboyer as Hal Jordan, Jack O'Connell as Kyle Rayner and Nate Parker as John Stewart. It also identified Graham McTavish as the potential leader of the Yellow Lanterns, who will be the main antagonists in the film.
