When i watched Rebel Ridge, i thought of John Stewart Green Lantern from the cartoon. His demeanor, dry wit, voice, and mannerisms were just like that. I cannot wait!
I think it’s safe to say that John Stewart is gonna be the de facto Green Lantern in the DCU’s Justice League. Especially since they’re having Hal be the mentor and John as the upstart, which could also mean that Hal will either die or become Parallax. Which is also lined up with how James Gunn wants young actors to stick around for the next ten years.
A UA-cam video with comments about a black actor's opportunities and nobody in the comment section screaming "woke". This place is for me, guys, well done. Love this casting. He looks so much like some of the DCAU animation versions of GL. Nice screen presence too.
@@mambamentality8727 Absolutely, they could get an actor that looks exactly like Miles and would still complain, they wanna be angry at something so bad
To be fair, they probably are complaining about the colorism thing. I.E. how a light skinned actor is more likely to be cast than a dark skinned one. E. G. Storm from X-Men or the cast of In The Heights 🤔.
I love this casting. Even if I didn't know him and already liked him as an actor, Aaron Pierre looks like if you had an algorithm print out a picture of what John Stewart would look like in real life. They won't have to put on any green contacts because his eyes are so striking. 😂
I'm glad he got cast as John Stewart. He looks so much like him. I am aware that some people didn't want him because he's light skinned. I trust Aaron will do a good job and I am looking forward in seeing him in Lanterns.
Before I got into reading comic's I only knew Green Lantern John Stewart from justice league the animated series. So when Ryan Reynolds hal Jordan was green lantern back in 2011 I was like "who the hell is this white dude? This ain't green lantern" lol
Man growing up John was THE Green Lantern. Everyone I knew was confused when they made Hal the GL for the movie I hope the series spins off into a solo John movie
After watching Rebel Ridge, I can say this is PERFECT casting. The movie itself was so-so, but aside from being built like a brick shithouse, the man has "leading man" written all over him.
Saw this guy on stage in a theatre production in 2019 and it was absolutely incredible!... Never seen such an incredible actor before or ever since. Still affected by his 10 minute monologue to this day and 3 hours of live acting performance. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
John Stewart was my first introduction as a black superhero through JL and unlimited animated series. As a dc fanatic I’m so happy. He’s perfect and was my choice. Can’t wait to see this. Recommend for Green lantern comics: GL Earth one GL new 52 GL brightest day GL darkest Night Etc
They got this guy as green lantern who’s 6’3” early 30’s, David corenswet as Superman who’s 6’4” early 30’s as well. That makes me wonder....who the hell are they gonna get as Batman man lol, or Wonder Woman to complete the trinity
One of my favourite bits of lore about John Stewart is that his constructs are the most durable in the GL corp because he puts thought Into every little piece of what he makes.
First time I saw the character of Jon Stewart was in the static shock TV show. Also black character that I grew up watching when I was a kid. I enjoyed River ridge he's a comic book accurate image of the character great casting. Martin Thomas is such a player hater.
The plot has Hal and Jon investigating a murder on Earth. HBO treating this like True Detective season 5. When you think Green Lanter TELL ME you think, earthbound murder mystery...
He hasnt had to act convincingly in a role yet (I saw rebel ridge) (not that he will have to in a green lantern show) …but he has the looks and physicality and apparently thats all it takes
Not bad at all, also if they're doing thr buddy cop angle. It'll be something interesting to see, also wondering if nathan fillion can pull of guy gardner hmmmm, looking forward to this. I like these these GLs so im excited, also want to see my boy kilowog
Closes thing to another live action GL after Renolds was on the CW with the character Diggle from Arrow and he decided not to put the ring on. At the end of Snyder's JL that was Martian Manhunter, not GL. There is another african american GL in the comics introduced not too long ago, Sojourner Mullein. She's modelled a bit after Janelle Monáe. I do wish the best for Pierre. He did his thing in Rebel Ridge even though Im sort of in the same mind set as Martin with the flick as a whole but it was cool. Acting by everyone in that film to me was on point.
U should not get excited about this bc u never know they might destroy his character whatever movie hes gonna be in. Not excited till i see the film hes in
I’m mixed on the Hal Jordan carting. I see Hal as a more charismatic cocky daredevil, and Kyle Chandler is a more down to and subtle in his acting… but he is a great actor, so we’ll wait and see
For those who grew up watching the DCAU, seeing John Stewart in a movie is very exciting
That is still my favorite version of John Stewart and of a green lantern
Facts
It's a series
@@AndreNitroXSame.
When i watched Rebel Ridge, i thought of John Stewart Green Lantern from the cartoon. His demeanor, dry wit, voice, and mannerisms were just like that. I cannot wait!
And green eyes
@@MrGrandure😂 that is the main ingredient isn't it. The similar character traits can be acted out 😂

It's always cool to see Kyle Chandler in things, I think he'll make a great Hal Jordan nonetheless.
Yea bc Kyle’s always been the other guy and he works best that way. Love him for it.
@lenindominguez1986Who's she?!
@@davidgeldner2167He was the lead when it comes to good TV shows
@lenindominguez1986 Bro, Kyle Chandler is a MALE. What's wrong with you?!
Mid sized sedan is one of the greatest fake rapper names of all time lol.
Damn i forgot that was him in Old.😂
He is more large truck motherfucker right now, let the man gets some success.
Lol. I know right.

Social Media already on their bullshit talking about how he's too light skinned to be John Stewart
They will be forever complaining especially when Marvel decided to cast Miles Morales
He’s not even light skinned
@@mambamentality8727 Absolutely, they could get an actor that looks exactly like Miles and would still complain, they wanna be angry at something so bad
“Man everybody gotta complain and shit”
To borrow a phrase from the Hit movie “ShowGirls”
To be fair, they probably are complaining about the colorism thing. I.E. how a light skinned actor is more likely to be cast than a dark skinned one. E. G. Storm from X-Men or the cast of In The Heights 🤔.
The Julian shade lmao
Just teasing him 😆 lol
@@giovanahc yeah lol. I know he didn’t mean it to be racist or anything, but it did come across bad. He takes it in stride too which is good.

I FINALLY GET A LIVE ACTION JOHN STEWART GREEN LANTERN IN MY LIFETIME!!!! 😭😭😭
Bro done come a long way since Mid Sized Sedan 😂
I'm glad he got cast as John Stewart. He looks so much like him. I am aware that some people didn't want him because he's light skinned. I trust Aaron will do a good job and I am looking forward in seeing him in Lanterns.
In my opinion, Aaron Pierre is going to be next breakout star. Great acting ability especially as an action star and has tons of charisma
They literally have to change nothing. The man IS John Stewart brought to life already. One of the easiest casting choices of all time.
Growing up I only ever knew of this Green Lantern. As far as I was concerned, he was the true Green Lantern.
Before I got into reading comic's I only knew Green Lantern John Stewart from justice league the animated series. So when Ryan Reynolds hal Jordan was green lantern back in 2011 I was like "who the hell is this white dude? This ain't green lantern" lol
@@tobiaslawrence8928 Fr though lol
I grew up with the green lantern animated series so Hal was always the true lantern for me
For me its hal
Bringing back Jullian's remark about dude complying had me crying! 😂
Aaron Pierce's eyes would make the green glow nicely. Plus, is it just me or he looks like Mehcad Brooks with hair?
He does give that same type of vibe , but Mehcad doesn't have , light eyes !
@@TerenceThomas-x4c True that.
Man growing up John was THE Green Lantern. Everyone I knew was confused when they made Hal the GL for the movie
I hope the series spins off into a solo John movie
thats because you only watch the justice league animation series. if you read the comics maybe you wouldnt question whos THE green lantern.
After watching Rebel Ridge, I can say this is PERFECT casting. The movie itself was so-so, but aside from being built like a brick shithouse, the man has "leading man" written all over him.

"Keep on F'in around and I'm gonna play you" 🤣🤣😂
Kyle Chandler was cast as Hal Jordan?! Okay, I’m interested.
John Stewart was my first introduction as a black superhero through JL and unlimited animated series. As a dc fanatic I’m so happy. He’s perfect and was my choice. Can’t wait to see this.
Recommend for Green lantern comics:
GL Earth one
GL new 52
GL brightest day
GL darkest Night
Etc
Julian catching strays 😂😂
Hard to believe Ryan Reynolds was the
First live action green lantern.
😂😂😂And now he's the first live action Deadpool
@@SOPHIA-LOVES-MEATBALLS-69 is there anything that man can't do?
Jon ain’t the only black green lantern
There’s three black green lantern
But Jon is the first black green lantern and argue the best green lantern
They got this guy as green lantern who’s 6’3” early 30’s, David corenswet as Superman who’s 6’4” early 30’s as well. That makes me wonder....who the hell are they gonna get as Batman man lol, or Wonder Woman to complete the trinity
Caitlin Clark? Angela Reese?
for Batman - Brandon Sklenar 6'2 | 34 yrs old
for Wonder woman - Jessica Green 5'9 | 31 yrs old
That Pedro Pascal shit was hilarious lmaooo.
Man I'm just hyped we getting John Stewart in a movie, thats MY Green Lantern
I'm just happy Tyrese didn't get this role
“No one wants to hire me Norma! Congratu- Congratulations, oh my God!”
- Tyrese
I'm mad he didn't play Dango😂
...
SYKE
@@SOPHIA-LOVES-MEATBALLS-69 lmfao!! That self taped audition was HELL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's gonna steal the show from the other JL members. Charismatic actor
WOW, glad you guys are still going. Wish you the best!
IMO the 3 lanterns cast are precisely perfect.
Pedro Pascal is gonna be playing Batman, Superman AND Wonder Woman at this point.
In all seriousness though, he’d be the perfect Deadshot if he wasn’t already committed to Reed Richards in the MCU.
Was between him and Damon Idris I believe.
Damon Idris would of been dope!
I had hoped for Trevante Rhodes. Hopefully they can still get him into something.
5:56 Martin had me dying 😂😭
This man will make a perfect John Stewart
"Martin is there something different about you?" "What Contract dispute" 😂😂😂
He looks exactly like John Stewart from dcau justice league
One of my favourite bits of lore about John Stewart is that his constructs are the most durable in the GL corp because he puts thought Into every little piece of what he makes.
Y'all gotta watch and review the MLK/Malcolm series!!
He was good in that as well.
This is excellent casting!
OH MY GOD…. I’m so pumped to see MY Green Lantern on screen! Plus they picked a good actor to play him, and yes he’s cute 🥰
People are hating on this because he’s brow skin
“Brow skin”?
@@wilcee238😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
He has already been in the DC universe, he was on the show krypton on the Syfy channel
John Stewart is my green lantern
I was hoping y'all would talk about this!!!
First time I saw the character of Jon Stewart was in the static shock TV show. Also black character that I grew up watching when I was a kid. I enjoyed River ridge he's a comic book accurate image of the character great casting. Martin Thomas is such a player hater.
I would pay an unreasonable amount of money to see Pedro Pascal come in for an episode as Martin & no one ever acknowledge it 😂
Let's wait and see. I don't want to jump on the hype train just yet. I would like to see a trailer first.
Its a dark day for Tyrese, the ring chose someone else.
Beautiful. I think James Gunn is going to show up the MCU in a different way. They should’ve never let him go on nonsense.
Pedro Pascal being John Stewart is like that Chappelle's Show joke about Tom Hanks being casted in a certain movie
WE AGREE!!
I’m overly excited about this #RiseDCU #GreenLantern
This is W casting
Great casting 🔥
Can’t wait
Someone on IG said they should've got David Ramsey😂
*About damn time they put me in live action.*
The plot has Hal and Jon investigating a murder on Earth. HBO treating this like True Detective season 5. When you think Green Lanter TELL ME you think, earthbound murder mystery...
I was thinking of the same Pedro joke when they said casting the same actor in everything.
Some good green lantern shows Martin? Lets not forget about Green Lantern the animated series now lol 😎.
With Jonathan majors falling there’s room for the next big thing now lol.
KYLE CHANDLER IS 59? 59? Really?
Yeah, hope I look that good at 60.
He should have complied 😂😂😂😂 is wild
Pedro Pascal was going to be black green lantern 😂😂 that kill me!
Yo the dream part took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He hasnt had to act convincingly in a role yet (I saw rebel ridge) (not that he will have to in a green lantern show)
…but he has the looks and physicality and apparently thats all it takes
Watch The Underground Railroad, Brother , Genius MLK/X then come back to comment he is great
Big Fillion as my guy Guy! Im with it
Not bad at all, also if they're doing thr buddy cop angle. It'll be something interesting to see, also wondering if nathan fillion can pull of guy gardner hmmmm, looking forward to this. I like these these GLs so im excited, also want to see my boy kilowog
great choice if its true
Oh my gawd….that’s Mid-Sized Sedan 😊
I'm from the future, Pedro Pascal has been cast as batman, the joker and robin
I want to know how Tyrese feels
Called it
They should of hired Yuno Miles for Joker 2. 😂
😂😂y'all on fire 🔥!
I thought it was gonna be one of the Hodges brothers.
Tyrese is gonna fuckin LOSE his SHIT 😂
Has potential
I wanted Damson Idris or Trevante Rhodes but I'm happy for Pierre, he's a great actor! Congrats!
Trevante was my top choice esp back when they first mentioned bring in John Stewart onto the silver screen. He def deserve a big opportunity
4:37 Stephan James from 21 bridges. He’s dope. I wouldn’t have minded him as a lantern. His real life brother is nobody from John wick.
Closes thing to another live action GL after Renolds was on the CW with the character Diggle from Arrow and he decided not to put the ring on.
At the end of Snyder's JL that was Martian Manhunter, not GL.
There is another african american GL in the comics introduced not too long ago, Sojourner Mullein. She's modelled a bit after Janelle Monáe.
I do wish the best for Pierre. He did his thing in Rebel Ridge even though Im sort of in the same mind set as Martin with the flick as a whole but it was cool. Acting by everyone in that film to me was on point.
Jonathan Majors ran (from a woman in Manhattan) so Midsized Sedan could cruise!
Brah 😂 Aaron can’t runaway from Midsized Sedan, so he had to step up to runaway from that name.
Julian got roasted 😂😅
U should not get excited about this bc u never know they might destroy his character whatever movie hes gonna be in. Not excited till i see the film hes in
I’m mixed on the Hal Jordan carting. I see Hal as a more charismatic cocky daredevil, and Kyle Chandler is a more down to and subtle in his acting… but he is a great actor, so we’ll wait and see
3:41 midsized Sudan😂
They had green lantern in the last episode of the flash universe crossover event
I grew up with Phil LaMarr as GL, I'm hype for this, also the streets need a Static Shock movie
He looks like scar from lion king..
Ironically enough, he plays Mufasa in the upcoming Lion King prequel
Pedro? No señor, mi nombre es Martín Tostado Doble
If this is successful, it outta stop the Green Lantern jokes ever since 2011.
I'm excited about this movie, but I hope he looks more manly in the movie.
If John Stewart is going to be the de facto Green Lantern, does this mean that we'll be getting Wally West?
Wally barely knows or interacts with him outside of the DCAU so no
No
And will Wally West be a redhead?
Because lately it seems that Hollywood hates redheads
Probably, since Gunn seems to be taking heavily from the post crisis era of comics and DCAU show with beloved storylines inserted here and there
I don't know guys. I think they'll regret not going with Pedro Pascal.
Will Julian approve of this?
He is a solid excellent choice and I am excited. All the rest of the bullshit is just bullshit from an internet crowd seeking views.
Pedro Pascal lol 😆 😂 🤣 he the new kevin hart
