Trevante Rhodes Talks Green Lantern Speculation

Trevante Rhodes, star of Moonlight which just won Best Picture at the Oscars, is a big fan favorite pick to play John Stewart in the upcoming Justice League and Green Lantern Corps movies.

MTV caught up with Trevante Rhodes and asked the actor his thoughts on putting on spandex for superhero films.

“That’s everybody’s dream,” Trevant Rhodes said. “Whenver you’re in charge, it’s like, “I want to be a superhero.’ You know. So in that regard, that is something that’s really enticing, but more so because it puts my face in front of more people who will want to come and see a movie like Moonlight that I care about.”

MTV then mentioned they are looking for a Green Lantern, with Treveante Rhodes smiling and playing coy.

“I don’t know,” Trevane Rhodes said with a big grin. “I don’t know.”
