Cool Idris Elba Green Lantern Fan Art
Check out a cool new piece of fan art of Idris Elba as Green Lantern John Stewart.
With WB rebooting Green Lantern in their Justice League universe, it’s speculated John Stewart will be a part of the 2020 Green Lantern Corps movie.
Idris Elba has been a fan-favorite choice to play Green Lantern or a while; however, it’s probably unlikely as Elba plays Heimdall in the Thor franchise for Marvel and is also starring in Stephen King’s The Dark Tower as The Gunslinger, which more than likley will spawn multiple movies. Idris Elba is also a fan-favorite pick to play the new James Bond.
Previous fan-art of Elba as Green Lantern is below as well.

Idris Elba’s Star Trek Beyond Villain Revealed
Idris Elba’s villain in Star Trek Beyond stands revealed as the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly reveals a first look as well as an interview with Elba.
In the interview, Elba offers up he is playing a character named Krall, who is not a Gorn, and is new to the Star Trek Universe.
I play Krall. This is a man with a definite purpose. I say a man, but he’s not a man. Or is he?
What’s interesting about him is that he has a real beef with what the Enterprise stands for. Krall’s a character who’s deeply steeped in hatred — in my opinion, a well-earned hatred — for the Federation. It felt quite political. There’s a relatability to what’s happening in our world. Not everybody’s happy with what everybody calls the good guys.
There’s some history that we explore, to understand why he feels the frontier needs to push back. There’s definitely an opposing argument to the good that the Federation think they do. There are purists that believe in independence, and believe that we’re all made differently for a reason, and will fight tooth and nail to defend that. There’s massive relatability to modern world politics in that sense.
Krall is predatory. He’s not one for big speeches. He is one for going to get what he wants. If that means having to do it himself, outside of his army, he is not afraid to do that.
“Star Trek Beyond” has a July 22, 2016 release directed by Justin Lin starring Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Sofia Boutella and Idris Elba.

Watch First Jungle Book Clip
Watch the first clip above for Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book featuring Shere Khan voiced by Idris Elba.
“The Jungle Book” has an Apri 15, 2016 release also starring Scarlett Johnasson as Kaa, Neel Sethi as Mowgli, Bill Murray as the voice of Baloo, Christopher Walken as the voice of King Louie, Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of Rakcha, and Ben Kingsley as the voice of Bagheera.
Synopsis:
Directed by Jon Favreau (“Chef,” “Iron Man,” “Elf”), based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s classic animated film, “The Jungle Book” is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice of Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johannsson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire. The all-star cast also includes Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of the fiercely protective mother wolf Raksha, and Giancarlo Esposito as the voice of wolf pack’s alpha male Akela. “The Jungle Book” seamlessly blends live-action with photorealistic CGI animals and environments, using up-to-the-minute technology and storytelling techniques to immerse audiences in an enchanting and lush world. The wild adventure swings into theaters in 3D on April 15, 2016.

Thor 3 Rumors Include Heimdall, Final Battle & More
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24259:]]
Another batch of Thor: Ragnarok rumors has hit the net.
Obvious spoiler warning if proven to be legit.
It’s been previously rumored that Thor 3 will feature Cate Blanchett as the villainess Hela who will team with Loki to battle Thor. In the battle, Hela destroys Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, and banishes Thor, which leads to another rumor in the film — Planet Hulk.
Now Latino Review is potentially adding more pieces to the puzzle, which involves Idris Elba’s Heimdall.
According to the report, Hela kills Heimdall in the battle, with Heimdall ending up in Hel (the underworld).
However, it’s said that is not all we see from Heimdall as Heimdall will be featured in the final battle in the movie between Thor (probably the Hulk, too) and the forces of Hela.
It’s said Hela will feature an army of the undead doing battle with the good Valkyries from Valhalla and the souls of the righteous fallen, which includes Heimdall.
The report also mentions Hela will not only be threatening Asgard, but the entire universe, and also make mention of Thor: Ragnarok being the last solo Thor movie.
“Thor: Ragnarok” has a November 3, 2017 release.

Watch: Green Lantern Corps Trailer With Idris Elba & Garrett Hedlund (Fan-Made)
The Alex Luthor YouTube channel is back with another cool video as this time a Green Lanter Corps trailer is presented featuring Idris Elba and Garret Hedlud.
The trailer uses footage from Green Lantern, TRON: Legacy, Pacific Rim, John Carter and more, and looks pretty good.
We still have a while to wait for Green Lantern Corps, as the movie is set to be released in 2020, but perhaps we won’t have to wait that long as it’s possible a Green Lantern may be featured in the Justice League movie, which hits in 2017.
About a year ago saw Idris Elba comment on Green Lantern John Stewart fan art of himself stating he loves the idea.
Idris Elba is currently filming Star Trek Beyond; Garret Hedlund is featured in Pan with Hugh Jackman and was set to reprise for the third Tron movie, but Disney recently abruptly cancelled the project.
