Don't quite know what to think about this if it's true.

DC are back door cluster f***ing a JLA movie through this Batman vs Superman movie.
I predict it's going to be a big old hot mess

Are they just picking every possible actor of African American descent? Is Rajah doing tabloid news now?

Well they have been kinda building up John Stewart's military history again in the comics.
And GI JOE certain showed the Rock is both good and keen on doing these kind of military-angled roles.
.........it's leagues better than him playing Lobo, at least.

Well, he certainly has the build of a superhero (I'd even argue he's a bit TOO buff for Stewart) and obviously he can pull off action scenes... but he really doesn't look like him.

I really wish he'd play Black Adam instead.

Well wasn't my dream casting. Maybe he can still get a chance at being BlackPanther

I really wish he'd play Black Adam instead. Seriously. Right actor, wrong character. Also dislike how it kinda sends the idea that they can get any dark-skinned actor to play a black character. Doesn't matter as long as they aren't white, I suppose...... John Stewart should be played by a black actor.....

Oh, right, the guy recognized as one-half of the first BLACK Tag Team Champions. Granted, I don't think Dwayne should be considered for this as he doesn't look like the character at all, but this idea that just because he looks more Samoan than black means he doesn't count as a black guy is ridiculous.

See I know who his dad is but I still don't consider him "black". Just how I see it. Doesn't help that he so heavily embraces his Samoan roots. To me he's more Samoan than black.

Ohhhh boy, this argument is always a thread ender :/
Can I just say I agree that he'd be a terrible John Stewart purely on the basis that Rocky has zero in common looks wise?

I like Rock as an actor, so I don't mind the idea of him being Green Lantern regardless of whether it's John Stewart, Hal Jordan or Kyle Rayner.

You know what, I'm open to it just because it's DC using a Green Lantern who's not Hal Jordan.
Though that being said, I hated Man of Steel and if the Batman / Superman movie's not any better then I'm probably just saying f*** it when it comes to DC's movies in general.

But, but, just think of the giant green hands giving out Rock Bottoms to giant bad guys.

When this movie sucks its not going to be Afflecks fault, its going to Snyder and Goyer stuffing 10 pounds of shit in a five pound bag
this is just basically New 52 the movie at this point and unless we get a fantastic portrayal of Batwoman or Static at this point i'm over all this shit

You know who Rock could play, where his size would be an advantage.....Cyborg

He can make the latter work really well. The former? I'm a bit iffy on. Then again I would hope its the latter as I honestly hate the design of the former.
