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!
A TH-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.
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.
@@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.
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
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
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.
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
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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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
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
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.
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 😂
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.

Absolutely ❤
It's always cool to see Kyle Chandler in things, I think he'll make a great Hal Jordan nonetheless.
@@BeatsWithKev I don't know who she is
Yea bc Kyle’s always been the other guy and he works best that way. Love him for it.
@@lenindominguez1986Who's she?!
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”

I FINALLY GET A LIVE ACTION JOHN STEWART GREEN LANTERN IN MY LIFETIME!!!! 😭😭😭
They literally have to change nothing. The man IS John Stewart brought to life already. One of the easiest casting choices of all time.
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. 😂
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.
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
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.
Bringing back Jullian's remark about dude complying had me crying! 😂
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
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.
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" 🤣🤣😂
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
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
Kyle Chandler was cast as Hal Jordan?! Okay, I’m interested.
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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Caitlin Clark? Angela Reese?
Julian catching strays 😂😂
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 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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?
That Pedro Pascal shit was hilarious lmaooo.
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.
He's gonna steal the show from the other JL members. Charismatic actor
Was between him and Damon Idris I believe.
Damon Idris would of been dope!
Man I'm just hyped we getting John Stewart in a movie, thats MY Green Lantern
WOW, glad you guys are still going. Wish you the best!
IMO the 3 lanterns cast are precisely perfect.
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.
I had hoped for Trevante Rhodes. Hopefully they can still get him into something.
"Martin is there something different about you?" "What Contract dispute" 😂😂😂
This man will make a perfect John Stewart
Y'all gotta watch and review the MLK/Malcolm series!!
Was it Good ?
He was good in that as well.
This is excellent casting!
5:56 Martin had me dying 😂😭
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😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
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.
KYLE CHANDLER IS 59? 59? Really?
Yeah, hope I look that good at 60.
I would pay an unreasonable amount of money to see Pedro Pascal come in for an episode as Martin & no one ever acknowledge it 😂
He has already been in the DC universe, he was on the show krypton on the Syfy channel
John Stewart is my green lantern
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...
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.
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.
This is W casting
Its a dark day for Tyrese, the ring chose someone else.
Pedro Pascal being John Stewart is like that Chappelle's Show joke about Tom Hanks being casted in a certain movie
great choice if its true
He should have complied 😂😂😂😂 is wild
Someone on IG said they should've got David Ramsey😂
I'm from the future, Pedro Pascal has been cast as batman, the joker and robin
I was thinking of the same Pedro joke when they said casting the same actor in everything.
*About damn time they put me in live action.*
With Jonathan majors falling there’s room for the next big thing now lol.
Can’t wait
I’m overly excited about this #RiseDCU #GreenLantern
I was hoping y'all would talk about this!!!
Has potential
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
Tyrese is gonna fuckin LOSE his SHIT 😂
Great casting 🔥
I want to know how Tyrese feels
WE AGREE!!
Big Fillion as my guy Guy! Im with it
I thought it was gonna be one of the Hodges brothers.
He looks like scar from lion king..
Ironically enough, he plays Mufasa in the upcoming Lion King prequel
@@redhood2394I'm not planning on watching the Lion King prequel
Yo the dream part took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh my gawd….that’s Mid-Sized Sedan 😊
Some good green lantern shows Martin? Lets not forget about Green Lantern the animated series now lol 😎.
Pedro Pascal was going to be black green lantern 😂😂 that kill me!
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.
They should of hired Yuno Miles for Joker 2. 😂
😂😂y'all on fire 🔥!
Called it
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.
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
Julian got roasted 😂😅
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
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.
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
They had green lantern in the last episode of the flash universe crossover event
Pedro? No señor, mi nombre es Martín Tostado Doble
I'm excited about this movie, but I hope he looks more manly in the movie.
I don't know guys. I think they'll regret not going with Pedro Pascal.
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
If this is successful, it outta stop the Green Lantern jokes ever since 2011.
I grew up with Phil LaMarr as GL, I'm hype for this, also the streets need a Static Shock movie
3:41 midsized Sudan😂
Will Julian approve of this?
I hope Martin is wrong with the "white mentor, black mentee" trope bull.
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.
