Tyrese Gibson In Talks For Green Lantern Corps
With the news of Warner Bros.’ upcoming Green Lantern Corps movie, we have reports that Tyrese Gibson has recently been in talks with the studio about the possibility of a starring role. It’s no secret he’s been enthusiastically vocal over the previous months about the possibility of becoming a Green Lantern, and in a recent interview, he had the following to say:
“I’ve already had a couple of meetings at Warner Bros., so we’ll see what happens. I do believe that there needs to be more black superheroes out there, but that’s not even my motivation. I think I would be the best Green Lantern and based on my fans and supporters that spent around $6 billion in box office receipts, I feel like there’s a fanbase of fans out there waiting to see me put on this green suit and do my thing. So I would love to confirm something today but I can’t. We’ll just keep following up.”
It’s all still up in the air at this point, and we know very well there’s still a long way to go from the initial talks to donning the hopefully real, green suit, but hopefully this is the start of something amazing.
So do you think he’ll make a good lantern? Tell us in the comments.
