Love this casting!

[@gideon1199]

He already has the green eyes 😂

[@parsman9914]

The willpower is strong with that one XD

[@revealingtruth3329]

Yup

[@LJtheSouthernVegan]

😂😂😂

[@jeff2k83]

This is such great casting, he was great in Rebel Ridge and I said man he’ll be a great GL.

[@WhatsWorthWatching]

he is gonna kill it!!

[@JezzaBondiBeach]

PERFECT CASTING 💚💚

[@grimdicer152]

John Stewart was one of the best parts of the fantastic Justice League cartoon, and I hope they do the Green Lanterns justice with this.

[@PatrickRockwell24]

This was an EXCELLENT CASTING. I never heard of this actor before "Rebel Ridge" and I enjoyed that movie despite it not being what I expected. Now, I can't wait for this Green Lantern project.

[@daydreaminavenue]

John stewart and Hal Jordan are my favorite green lanterns. I hope that the show lives up to it’s potential

[@danielordonezjr]

I was rooting for Aaron man. So happy he’s John Stewart!!!

[@deltagodangel]

Superman will have 2 post credits scenes. One will hint at the greater conflict and the 2nd will see guy Gardner dead which will lead into lanterns who investigate guy's death

[@JuliusLikesfilms]

YOURE COOOOKIN

[@zachgordon99]

Yo quite an interesting theory. Is it more than just a theory? I like it regardless.

[@BusterBarnes]

I doubt they kill Guy that quickly we need Batman to knock him out first

[@JadenCole77]

This shit would go crazy👀

[@batsaubattler3200]

I don't want them to kill guy off so fast. Or hal but I realize hal might die. But to kill both guy and Hal so soon after introduction will make the core feel too small imo plus I love Nathan fillion and Kyle but I hope they find a way to keep one of em alive

[@WhatsWorthWatching]

this is PERFECT!! I literally spoke about this potential casting in my review for Rebel Ridge just a week ago. He is gonna crush it. Also, if you haven't seen this dude before, watch Rebel Ridge. It is great!!

[@buffbeenstuffed]

He is the Number one draft pick for me! so excited to see what he does with this role and beyond

[@IMZ44]

Before I get hyped up for the man and GL project. I want to see a trailer first. John is one of my favorite DC characters.

[@russellkim_]

They actually listened to their audience so refreshing, now watch us support this

[@angelestrada9552]

Aaron Pierre reminds me of a young James Earl Jones

[@robertjackson9005]

Ironic you said that. Since he’s voicing the young Mufasa in The Lion King prequel movie that’s coming out

[@angelestrada9552]

@robertjackson9005 Yeah, whenever they cast him, I saw his eyes and face stature, which is strange, similar to JEJ. He could have played him in a biopic or become Darth Vader

[@rburke4042]

This is what I wish the dceu was building towards. Hopefully this show is a success and we can one day get a legit Justice League movie based off the cartoon show. I see the pieces coming together. The only question is, which Batman are they going to use.

[@isaacblake5114]

I think it’s spectacular

[@phristo]

I want him as the new Blade with those half vampire eyes

[@polyglot12]

Aaron Pierre is a very strong actor. He alone makes me want to see this. Chandler is another reason. And the storyline as sort of a 'True Detective'-style story is the capper. I love that this isn't going too cosmic. I think too many comic book films throw everything up into world threatening menaces. A story a little tighter, even if it evolves into something larger, is very appealing to me.

[@voidknight2288]

Gut will we get the comic scene where Batman punches Guy Gardner in the face? lol

[@nickjames9379]

What a casting

[@jacobweyker6857]

I really can’t wait to see what the suits looks like

[@davidfortuin4146]

Aaron Pierre is John Stewart! I'm all in! LFG! Dammit!

[@Ale-dd3ek]

Gotta give credit to DC They (almost) always have an excellent casting

[@JBFranny]

His voice might be close enough to JL Stewart to make yall feel nostalgic

[@vineethjoyson5521]

They might be investigating a Lantern's death. To make it more interesting, maybe Guy gardeners.😬😬

[@kle2217]

DC snapped him up before Marvel could.

[@amine15777]

PEAK🔥🔥🔥

[@alexis199311]

I am glad they chose Aaron Pierre

[@heavycritic9554]

That is a great bit of casting. He's got the voice and the presence, and he's already proven his chops in Rebel Ridge.

[@Djblois1]

The political conspiracy in that show is something that really happens. At least portions of it are. Civil Asset Forfeiture is something that happens throughout the country and is legal.

[@feridradoncic2237]

Not John Stewart from the daily show with John Stewart ❤❤❤😂😂

[@djwilliams1749]

"IN BRIGHTEST DAY. IN BLACKEST NIGHT..."

[@tkghhhhh]

Wanted Jonathan Majors for this. Would have been one hell of a come bk. James Gunn was let go by marvel & went to DC, Jonathan Majors was completely given the middle finger by marvel so Gunn bringing him over to DC would have been excellent & ofc his talent is top tier

[@justinhearst]

It would've also, but he's radioactive right now. Maybe another year or 2 but not this time.

[@boipelozondo9806]

John needs a better research team...the rebel ridge plot is not a conspiracy but based on an actual systematic abuse of power enabled by poor law making. Please watch the John Oliver episode on this. The director even mentioned he reference that episode.

[@superflyers148]

Dude when this guy was on Krypton I was like that guy could be a leading man someday!! Good for him!

[@LJtheSouthernVegan]

This is great! ❤ the casting.

[@thomaslautenberger6447]

this guy was born for this role

[@rogerwhittaker4189]

Aaron Pierre is perfect for Jon Stewart aka the green lantern let's hope him Kyle Chandler brings both their characters to justice respectively.

[@SleepingTroubles]

James Gunn is known to have a fair background of the comics, it would be crazy to think we wouldn't see Kilowog if we're talking about green lanterns that aren't on earth being shown in any shape or form, him and Ganthet (not a lantern exactly but in a way)are pretty much guaranteed, we just don't know the casting. Sinestro too but can be saved to the ending if Hal is already older Having human green lanterns interacting with the alien green lanterns should be a common thing to expect, but I don't see much discussion, then to be fair it would be a Rocket Raccoon situation that seeing the character is what will hook people instead of caring about the casting

[@Knight93King]

James Gunn’s casting is just freaking perfection. #RiseDCU #GreenLanternsLight

[@jrpgaddict7726]

He was amazing in Rebel Ridge, so yea 👍🏾

[@garrettyingst9785]

I’m calling it now the main villain is gonna be black hand. Pre black lanterns. He has connections to the blackest night. Atrocitous of the red lanterns. And is a serial killer. He’s gonna be it

[@Realistically100]

This is great Casting 🖤👊🏽💚

[@LostUtopiaFilms]

And now Kyle Chandler is confirmed too 🔥🔥🔥

[@davidalexander-dhs-baltimo2708]

Gunn's DC heroes include Corenswet as Superman, Alcock as Supergirl and now Pierre as Lantern. Three actors who can one day be big time stars. I am guessing they are signed for movie, television, cartoons and video game deals. Smart move by Warner Brothers. Merced as Hawkgirl is a sleeper movie star. She has worked so much over the last few years that she might get over used. She has a great chance to have a break out role as Dina next year in the Last of Us.

[@DarkTribe1]

GREAT CASTING! The movie sounds like it's going to be a Green Lanterns meets Men in Black.

[@benm5970]

I’m personally more of a Hal Jordan fan than a Jon Stewart fan, but one thing I like is that from the sound of it it seems like James Gunn is committed to giving each of the Green Lanterns equal spotlight, because Green Lantern is a little different than heroes like Batman or Superman, with those ones you kinda just have the OG one and that’s it, Bruce Wayne is Batman, Clark Kent is Superman etc. and whenever they *did* have other people in those roles it was always a “Passing the torch” situation, whereas with Green Lantern there’s like 4 different human ones and everyone seems to have their own preference for who’s the quintessential one, and so I think James Gunn is making it where he’s like “Don’t worry, whoever you think is the best Green Lantern you’re going to see them in this new DCU” Which I think is a cool idea because it’ll please all the different camps of Green Lantern fans

[@mutalemwananshiku4098]

I dont think making hal jordan an almost 60 year old fan who is likey going to die in the first season pleases hal jordan fans as well having guy gardner in his 50s.

[@KeenApollo]

@@mutalemwananshiku4098yea but they clearly going the cartoon route and making John the main lantern dude is 30 so he will likely play John for at least a decade.

[@Mr.JakeSkywalker]

@@mutalemwananshiku4098 I mean Guy is probably gonna bite it soon. But both him and Hal can do some cool stuff before they bite it. Hugh Jackman almost 60 and still being badass

[@mutalemwananshiku4098]

@@Mr.JakeSkywalker jackman is 55 and at least started playing wolverine around 30 unlike chandler and fillion.

[@mutalemwananshiku4098]

@@KeenApollo i understand people grew up with that show but u dont need to push hal aside just to make john the main green lantern. You can do both.

Hal : don't look john Human Parallax : i always admired you, John.... John : WHATS IN THE LANTERN!!! WHATS IN THE Fn LANTERN 😂😂😂

[@shadowofchaos41]

He's even got the Green Eyes lol

[@PierreDennis]

Great casting. I think the show will revolve around the coming of Darkseid. Maybe the Parademons placing mother boxes or obducting people. Not full invasion or close to it...but inklings of the main DCU story as a whole.

[@Mr.JakeSkywalker]

way too early for that. Snyder garbage already did that

[@ultramagneticlion2147]

Earth is where they hid the White Lantern, no? Also, a murder in the American Heartland sounds like Black Hand behind it. Black Lanterns even!

[@kingmontana7594]

I’d save that for a phase later down the line… but they’d be fools to pass up war of the lanterns or at least blackest night as a phase arc

[@blackestknight1.0]

*Good choice to play me in the upcoming series. I approve*

[@revealingtruth3329]

Phenomenal casting

[@Fordaflock]

I wanted him to play Val Zod

[@KeenApollo]

That would have been insane too

[@AlkalineInsides]

Fantastic!!!

Ricky whittle would be an amazing John Stewart!

[@WORKSbaby]

Yea that’s a good casting green lantern was one of my favs when I was little along w Batman statik shok spider man n I remember black panther from the old tv show i loved the captain America movie

[@mikevetter]

It may only be his voice but he's also Mufasa in the new Mufasa movie

[@akahatapuntocero]

i think when they said true detective its more like true detective + intergalactic stuff= to x- files more like just men in black

[@4ou2grow24]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ty-ronrice5110]

He has been great in everything I've seen him in, brilliant in the MLK/X docuser es on Disney+

[@odean14]

I'm assuming that the he was cast because he just did a better job as portraying the character as the show runners envision him. Honestly, It's not the look that want. John Stewart was typically depicted as darker skinned but it is what is. I think his acting is probably the most important thing in this casting. I don't hate the look and I think he'll do great.

[@ericperry72]

YES!!!!!!!!!

[@shawnstephens9288]

Not convinced it's a typical murder. I think this murder is something that DOES have galactic implications which is why the lanterns would be involved

[@masterchief8427]

I like how Kris fact checks John 😆

[@otitoekwueme4271]

Am I the only one who thinks Nathan Dillion looks like a better Hal Jordan… not to mention voicing him in animations

[@cutevillain3366]

[@cutevillain3366]

@@Mr.JakeSkywalker True but we can have more than one. Especially John Stewart a character Neal Adam’s had to fight DC to make dark skinned. But again Arron is a great actor so I’m sure he’ll do a good job.

Thank god he left Blade when he did cause this might the perfect casting and if this sticks the landing, his career is outta here.

[@mutalemwananshiku4098]

I dont think he left blade , the movie kept getting delayed amd the sceipt changed thats why he isnt on the film anymore.

[@WFOmasterchief]

Please get Mark Strong

[@bryantjohnson5139]

Nice 👍🏽

[@macalcord]

I liked Rebel Ridge but it was about 20 minutes too long. Also Don Johnson is criminally underrated every scene he was in he just over shadowed everyone.

[@WORKSbaby]

Idk how the show or movie is gonna be tho maybe a aqua man vibe

[@graymoon3000]

I actually think he’s not a good action star. He was kinda slow motion in some scenes.

[@MJfp6lx]

I'm disappointed with Hal Jordan. They're clearly going the way of parallax with Hal it's obvious. Even if they were I think going with Jensen Ackles would've been a much better fit.

[@RevengeOfThaNerd]

Me and my brother was betting on which call he answered, Marvel or DC. I know after Rebel Ridge dropped his phone blew up. If I had a wish... Blade. He got it, that hmmm to him you know. That believability factor is a tough sell. Look at Mackie and Falcon. Bruh can't sell it. Ohhh imagine him a your new CA? That'll be fire too.
