The other day, Fast & Furious star Tyrese Gibson created a stir on the Internet by posting some fan art of himself as Green Lantern to Instagram. Today, Tyrese pushed the Green Lantern teases into high gear by posting several more pieces of fan art, while also writing about the importance of potentially playing the character.

In one Instagram post, Tyrese wrote, “Idris fall back I got this! In the brightest day, in the blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight. Let all who worship evil's might, Beware of the power of Green Lantern's light!”

Now we have one more.... #MAYHEM art by legendary comic book artist @JimLeeArt I sat there and watched him draw this #Mayhem cover.... We're friends to this day..... Potentially doing this #GreenLantern role isn't an opportunity its more like a "responsibility".... Prayers and love will get us there......

I think I like John Stewart more than Hal Jordan anyway.

I'd rather have TG over Elba w/how dismissive he was recently about playing Heimdall. Comic movies don't need leads that take themselves so seriously they see the material as beneath them.

No offense to Tyrese, he seems like a good dude, but I don't think he can carry a superhero movie himself. He just isn't a good actor. Or even decent. At least, I haven't seen anything from him to indicate that he can pull off being the main star in a big blockbuster.

Is it just the casting of him particularly?

I actually like John Stewart...

He is a horrible actor. I hope this is a joke

Looks pretty badass. I don't really see Green Lantern as a very marketable franchise so I wouldn't mind them getting a little creative with it.

I thought the last Green Lantern should have been black. I thought they really blew it with Ryan Reynolds.
