Tyrese has been lobbying for the role of Green Lantern for a few months now by posting images of himself as the DC superhero. Of course it was all just for fun at the time. Then things started happening and it didn’t seem so far fetched anymore. Well, Tyrese posted the following image on his Instagram before it was deleted, possibly to avoid spoiling it or because he didn’t really land it and wanted to stop any confusion.
“The Oath – see you soon” seems to be a confirmation that he landed the job. I would be excited to see Tyrese as Green Lantern. The Justice League team is full of very brooding actors and characters so far. Only Affleck could really be witty and funny but he’s Batman and that doesn’t really fit that character. Momoa is not gonna be personable. Gal Gadot isn’t gonna be able to bring levity. Henry Cavill isn’t doing it either so Tyrese can play it serious and bring some fresh air to the dreary world of JLA. After all Marvel has a very good mixture of characters that can play it many different ways. I am all for this and hope it’s true. Tyrese is a better actor than given credit for and should get the shot.
