I'm gonna try to hopefully change the subject here...
Who would you cast for the characters? I don't just mean human Lanterns like Hal Jordan and John Stewart (but that's welcome), but the aliens as well and just the characters in general. I expect they're going to get some top talent for this, being premium and high budget and all, compared to the CW mainly using lesser-knowns and generic photogenic models.
For me, I wouldn't mind...
Hal Jordan - Jake Gyllenhaal
John Stewart - Jonathan Majors
Carol Ferris - Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Kilowog - Winston Duke
Ch'p - Charlie Day
Salaak - Matt Smith
Katma Tui - Shay Mitchell
Mogo - Keith David
Boodikka - Gemma Arterton
Sinestro - Luke Evans
I don't normally do fancasting so forgive me if anything is off. I'm mainly looking for three things = talent, visuals, and voice. And I kinda want to change the subject to something a little more fresh so I'm just gonna break the ice.
Anyways, who would be your fancasts?
1. get jim henson productions involved in the alien design. For all the faults of the dark crystal netflix series, they nailed the world building (to say nothing of farscape).
2. If we are arguing over one human green lantern over another, then make Kilowog the main lantern having to deal with all these newbs as they go through essentially space academy.
Kyle Rayner or bust.
For John Stewart I'd cast LaKeith Stanfield (best known for Sorry To Bother You) but has since appeared in a number of other notable movies. Stanfield is young. He has the right quality for Stewart, a quiet strength, very introspective, but also compelling and commanding. So he'd be good.
"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest
When it comes to John, Trevante Rhodes would be my pick if they're going a bit younger. Doesn't have a big resume but I can definetely see it.
Rhodes or Y'lan Noel if they wanna go young. I really do like Rhodes though.
Idris Elba is the fan cast for every black superhero but hes in Sucide Squad as bronze Tiger I assume(Has it been revealed yet?) But if they go older Elba, Sterling K Brown and the out of left field pick of Michale Ealy. Yes hes too light skinned but I just find him too be interesting in everything he was in. Almost Human and now Stunptown hes my favorite parts. But yea umm dude who played MLK and with the African name could fit the role well too David Owyelo or something like that.
