Jesus Christ. I think I would die of a stroke if they used Simon Baz instead of Hal Jordan and John Stewart.

Ugh. Who is it that they think wants a movie about Baz? (Though if the only evidence for that is the one quote they gave, I'm not that worried. He didn't sound like he was saying Baz was in the movie, but rather saying that Baz was a Green Lantern character he'd like to play.)Last edited by Mister Ed; 03-06-2019, 09:01 PM.

The guy looks nothing like John. They would have HAD to be thinking of casting him as Baz.
My only hope is that there may end up being a cameo on Oa where we see Baz in a group of training GLs or with Guy and Kyle in the background.

I kind of assume actors that have an interest in being cast in a film about a certain property are inclined to look into it and see what characters in that property they might be best fit for.

I dunno. I'm just going by the way his actual quote sounded, which didn't (to me) sound like he was addressing an actual role that was offered, but merely talking about his interest in being part of "that universe", then mentioning a couple possible parts of that (with a "maybe" thrown in, to boot).
The character Green Lantern needs to be reborn. Even Ryan Reynolds came up with that when he killed himself in the Deadpool credits, which was hilarious. I'd love to be a part of that universe, whether it be John Stewart or Simon Baz, maybe. They are both characters I would be honored to play.Last edited by Mister Ed; 03-06-2019, 11:17 PM.

He didn't say he talked to WB, he said he's had conversations but doesn't specify who those conversations were with. For all we know he asked his agent to try and get him the role and that's the "conversation". Plus the comments are from last year, god knows what's changed since then.
Until it's confirmed by a reputable source I ain't worrying.

This just seems like another actor putting out feelers to see if something comes of it. That being said, I could see this guy as a young John. I give him points for knowing Baz, but I doubt that the movies will lead off with Baz.Last edited by Big Blue Lantern; 05-06-2019, 03:55 AM.Check out my Green Lantern product reviews on Twitter as the Emerald Enthusiast! @EmeraldEnthusi1
