We’re no stranger to the idea that Fast & Furious star Tyrese Gibson REALLY wants to be Green Lantern John Stewart in the DC Cinematic Universe.
We even know he’s been in talks with about the role at Warners (here) but now the star himself is talking about the role (below):
“I would love to do it. You know, I had a couple meetings at Warner about it.
“I just think that they’re still trying to figure out what the move is. I would love to officially confirm, but I can’t. And if they go in a different direction, I think they know what’s best for the movie, but the fans started this campaign, and all I’ve done is made use of my social media to let folks know I’m interested.”
While we love Tyrese here at FTN, we fear he’s too old for the role now as new casting details suggested that the film was looking for someone between 21 and 30 for the role and Gibson is 38…
That all said, we reckon he’s kill it as Stewart – so we say be damned to his age! Give the guy the gig!
Fact is, the internet, including his millions of followers want him in the green suit, and we reckon Warners MUST be aware of this… s definitely don’t rule it out.
