This role is tailor-made for Richard Brooks circa the mid nineties.
Mr. Brooks will be 46 years-old on his next birthday.

For some reason, though, I doubt see him as John Stewart. I envision
someone a little colder, more reserved--someone who'll wield the
magick of the ring with understated power, not in a flashy method
(which means I'm assuming a lot about how he'd play the role). One
actor I could see would be Richard Brooks ("Law and Order", "To Sleep
with Anger", "G vs E). He has the bearing and attitude I'd like to
see for GL--but of course the studio would deem him too old and too
unknown.

on it and cold metal bracelets might be a deal breaker for any
actress, though.

candidates to play the role of John Stewart, the Green Lantern. UGO's
sources, however, state that the TRANSFORMERS actor is only one of
several people being considered for the role. In other words, don't
start pasting cutouts of Gibson's face into your old copies of GREEN
LANTERN just yet - if you're the sort of sick individual that does
such things, that is.
