Tyrese Gibson has been teasing Green Lantern on Instagram with fan art as well as stating he has taken the oath.
Collider caught up with the actor where Tyrese confirms there have been talks with Warner Bros. about the newly announced Green Lantern Corps movie.
Here’s the text:
Well I was innocent from the beginning. I was at home eating a bowl of Lucky Charms in my drawers, my ugly feet was out, and I got about six direct messages on Instagram with photos of me as the Green Lantern. This particular fan who did this fan art said that there was a community of people that had been talking for like a month and a half about who they think would be the best Green Lantern, and they all picked me. I said to them, ‘I took the oath, and I am going to commit myself to this process of seeing what’s possible.
I’ve already had a couple of meetings at Warner Bros., so we’ll see what happens. I do believe that there needs to be more black superheroes out there, but that’s not even my motivation. I think I would be the best Green Lantern, and based on my fans and supporters that spent around $6 billion in box office receipts, I feel like there’s a fanbase of fans out there waiting to see me put on this green suit and do my thing. So I would love to confirm something today but I can’t. We’ll just keep following up.
Comic-Con saw Warner Bros. announce the Green Lantern Corps movie, which will be released in 2020.
A video and concept art of Hal Jordan was also revealed.
It’s possible we could get our first look at the new Green Lanterns in the Justice League movie or mabe even in Batman Vs. Superman.
While we wait, check out a cool fan-made Green Lantern Corps trailer above that features Chris Pine as Hal Jordan and Tyrese Gibson as Jon Stewart. Pine is currently rumored to be playing Hal Jordan in the GLC reboot, and Tyrese has been vying for a role as well.

Tyrese Gibson is back at it — teasing Green Lantern.
The latest from Gibson’s Instagram seems almost as if it’s a confirmation the actor will be playing Green Lantern.
“The oath has been taken,” Gibson posted.
A few months ago saw Tyrese Gibson tease involvement in Green Lantern as the actor posted numerous fan art images of himself as Green Lantern stating the “oath has been taken” as well. Gibson confirmed he wanted the role and that “seeds have been planted at Warner Bros.”
Now following the latest rumors that the rebooted Green Lantern will feature Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner and John Stewart, and that Chris Pine may play Jordan, Gibons also posted: “Shit got real.”
It’s speculated that the new Green Lantern(s) may be announced at the Batman Vs. Superman Comic-Con panel.
The new Green Lantern movie is due out in 2020.
Updated: with video talking Green Lantern with Entertainment Tonight.

Tyrese Gibson has been teasing fans on his Instagram page regarding Green Lantern John Stewart.
Gibson recently spoke to VixenVarsity.com where he explained two fans started it all, and then he ran with it by posting Green Lantern images as well.
Tyrese Gibson also teased the fans with an image at the Warner Bros. lot adding, “I don’t talk… I move,” and included the hashtag “Green Lantern Mission.”
Gibson doesn’t specifically confirm talks about Green Lantern, but does offer he did talk to WB: “I went to the Warner Brothers lot, I did go up there to have a meeting. I won’t tell anything, not gonna speak about what the outcome of the meeting was, but I went to have a meeting, a little something.”
The interview preceded Gibson’s recent Instagram post that he removed, which read: “The Oath – See you soon…”
Gibson also posted: “The Oath has been taken…… Loving this energy!!!!!!” and further clarified his “innocence” below in addition to a new pic of himself as GL.

Is Tyrese Gibson Green Lantern?
Well, the actor seems to indicate he might be.
Gibson posted another fan-made photoshopped image of himself on Instagram as Green Lantern and added, “The Oath – See you soon…”
Gibson has since removed the image, but has posted additional Green Lantern images of himself which include mention of: “The Oath has been taken…… Loving this energy!!!!!!”
It’s also reported Gibson has taken meetings with Warner Bros.
Below you can check out the screenshot of Gibson’s Instagram when the image and post was available.
Zack Snyder and WB are rebooting Green Lantern for the new Justice League movies, with the standalone Green Lantern movie due out in 2020. It’s currently unknown if Hal Jordan or John Stewart, or possibly both characters, will be featured.

Tyrese Gibson really, really, really, really wants to play Green Lantern.
The actor has been posting fan art of himself as Green Lantern John Stewart and says he wants to play the character for DC.
Gibson even tells Idris Elba – Marvel’s Heimdall – to back off!
It all started about three days ago when Tyrese Gibson posted fan art teasing “rumor has it that.”
The image went viral and Gibson hasn’t stopped.
Regarding Idris Elba, Elba is another fan-favorite choice to play Green Lantern John Stewart, and some fans are hoping when Elba’s Marvel contract runs out, that Elba will join the direct competition and play Green Lantern.
WB has slated a new Green Lantern movie for 2020.

Yesterday saw Tyrese Gibson post an image of himself as John Stewart Green Lantern that a fan created, which went viral.
Now Gibson has posted a second fan-created image and stated he again wants to play Green Lantern.
“I am fully committed to suiting up for this adventure,” Gibson posted on his Instagram as well as including the Green Lantern oath. “In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil’s might, Beware my power, Green Lantern’s light!!!”
Warner Bros. did announce a new Green Lantern movie, but not for another five years, to be released in 2020.
It’s thought we’ll get to see a new Green Lantern in either Justice League Part 1 (2017) or Part 2 (2020). Maybe Zack Snyder will even include a Justice League Easter Egg in Batman Vs. Superman?
The inclusion of Green Lantern brings up the question of where was the Green Lantern Corps when the Kryptonians, led by General Zod, attacked Earth? If Batman has already been around, is it safe to assume Earth has been protected by the Green Lantern Corps for some time? It will be interesting to see how/if Zack Snyder explains it.
