i want michael jai white to play the role. he actually looks like the character.

@christianrapper: And he was Black Dynamite, basically what John Stewart was created to be. =D

Oh, DC. =D

Shemar Moore would be an interesting choice. Not someone I would have considered but now that I have. I'd rather they went with him. I think he'd be a great John Stewart.He's in good shape imo probably just as good of an actor as Tyrese. Just as long as Hal Jordan is the GL for JL I can deal with anything.

No thanks.

John hasn't been like that for awhile...He's a lot more serious in recent years.

Idris should portray John Stewart. Tyrese sucks as an actor as he's just one-dimensional, whereas Idris is multi-dimensional & superb at any roles he gets.

Well he's black so he must be a good John Stewart

remember when Dc actually cared about their characters ? pedigree farm remembers but it was a longass time ago

Or maybe it's just because they didn't have anything planned for Cage until very recently. That's probably a good reason.

@scouterv: Maybe, my post was meant as "You don't know why he didn't get the role, so don't start speculating".

Idris is a better choice. Tyrese just can't portray a mature man nor could his attitudes carry the mantle of John Stewart's strict & no nonsense characteristics.

@ivan_jimenez86: dude what movies have you watched .. Waist deep ,Annapolis, the take..

Man yall don't watch movies ..

That's like saying Chris Evans can't be cap because not another teen movie ..

@zeeguy91: he didn't plead for Luke cage .. He had the role back in 2008 .. But marvel decided to abandon there pervious projects to go in the directIon of the mcu similar to antman ..,Go look at his bio it says Luke cage actor ...

Honestly I think he has the role .. Similar to the rock with black Adam and vin black bolt ...

I really hope the Chris pine rumors aren't true. I want mor star trek movies, and that'd be hard to do without Kirk.

Tyrese in this film...i have my doubts...they really need an A list team on this project from actors, production, music, to editing teams...john Stewart needs to be that solid, stern, who earns automatic fatherly respect from the way he carries himself...Denzel, laurence fishburne, etc...have aged some but would have fit the bill at some time...now i don't know...its tough now...but please...no tyrese...unless he recently worked on his craft and has a mean director and writer who will push his acting chops to greatness....which a great director should be capable of...

It does, and he doesn't really have a comedic style, he just tells jokes so whack in Furious movies that him making the jokes is funnier than the joke itself lol I don't think he should be Stewart. If I had my pick I'd go with a few others.

If your looking for comedy with a good strong balance of drama and action I'd go with Jamie Foxx. Think he's proved himself as a dynamic actor.

"Hitler, I respect your passion. There's no way this could go wrong with that much determination!" -Some guy in 1927

Just sayin' lol

Your point is kind of moot when you stop to realize that comparing Tyrese Gibson to Hitler is like comparing a jelly doughnut to broccoli.

@51stpresidentofplanetneutral: not at all, the basis is still there. Potential to do something and the desire to don't necessarily mean that the potential route you want to take, should be taken.

Why cant he do both? Henry Cavill is in Men from Uncle and it isn't stopping him do Superman. Benedict Cumberbatch is Dr Strange and a whole host of other characters, including Sherlock Holmes (new season due end of this year, woop, woop).

Bit sad really

@jayc1324: i agree

Space cop buddy movie, I am game!

Who is that on the left? I hope it's Chris Pine, but that would be kinda of weird to have him play two characters, but what the heck!

Needed to have been Will Smith?
