Rumor: I didn't hear this directly, but it's floating around behind the scenes in the industry: @TheRock is up for JoHn Stewart. Shrugs.

Later, Georgiu clarified that the information is a rumor heard “… through the industry grapevine,” but is hardly confirmed. He acknowledged that the assertion is currently nebulous, but that also that the rumblings were interesting enough that he, “… thought if [he] put it out there, people would look into it.”
The rumor has been given some strength by a Tweet exchange dusted off by Comic Book Movie, in which Johnson seemed to hint at being in talks for the role of Green Lantern. Though it dates from April of 2013, scuttlebutt has apparently put Johnson in contact with DC Comics regarding an eventual film role.
Given even the initial source’s acknowledgement of this rumor’s tenuousness, it should be taken only after overturning an entire salt shaker. Nonetheless, it’s an interesting proposition that merits a bit of pondering.

Now, you’re asking, "The Rock’s going to play the host of The Daily Show?" Not exactly. Stewart was a replacement Green Lantern for Hal Jordan. He was an architect, and a U.S. Marine veteran. He filled in for Jordan when Hal couldn’t wear the ring. He fought along side the Justice League on multiple missions. The character has been featured in numerous Green Lantern stories over the years, and probably needs to be used as a palette cleanser after Hollywood’s last foray into Green Lantern land.

Just call this movie the Justice League already.

Hal Jordan needs to be fixed before The Lanterns start popping up.

I would like them to go with Hal Jordan, but that first movie really blew.

I was never a fan of Hal, and liked John Stewart a whole lot more.

Y'all do know that this isn't going to happen. This is WBs way of having people talking about the movie without spending a dime. Remember a fews weeks ago when the showed a list of titles? Two days later Marvel officially announced Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch casting and everyone was like " yeah yeah cool, wait what are they thinking about naming Batman vs. Superman!?!"

The Wonder Woman thread was pretty damn interesting.

Yeah, but this is a movie based on a comic series. Not a movie based on an animated show that's based on a comic. Also you have to have a reason for Stewart to inherit the ring. The thing is the DCU is The Green Lantern Corps' universe and everyone else is living in it... and the Flash can frick it up at anytime.

How about the rock as the Martian.
