Aaron Pierre IS John Stewart in Green Lantern! 

He already has the green eyes 😂

This is such great casting, he was great in Rebel Ridge and I said man he’ll be a great GL.

John Stewart was one of the best parts of the fantastic Justice League cartoon, and I hope they do the Green Lanterns justice with this.

PERFECT CASTING 💚💚

They actually listened to their audience so refreshing, now watch us support this

This was an EXCELLENT CASTING. I never heard of this actor before "Rebel Ridge" and I enjoyed that movie despite it not being what I expected. Now, I can't wait for this Green Lantern project.

I was rooting for Aaron man. So happy he’s John Stewart!!!

Dude when this guy was on Krypton I was like that guy could be a leading man someday!! Good for him!

this guy was born for this role

John stewart and Hal Jordan are my favorite green lanterns. I hope that the show lives up to it’s potential

That is a great bit of casting. He's got the voice and the presence, and he's already proven his chops in Rebel Ridge.

this is PERFECT!! I literally spoke about this potential casting in my review for Rebel Ridge just a week ago. He is gonna crush it. Also, if you haven't seen this dude before, watch Rebel Ridge. It is great!!

He is the Number one draft pick for me! so excited to see what he does with this role and beyond

DC snapped him up before Marvel could.

Brah that’s perfect casting for those green lanterns perfect

Superman will have 2 post credits scenes. One will hint at the greater conflict and the 2nd will see guy Gardner dead which will lead into lanterns who investigate guy's death

Aaron Pierre reminds me of a young James Earl Jones

Aaron Pierre is a very strong actor. He alone makes me want to see this. Chandler is another reason. And the storyline as sort of a 'True Detective'-style story is the capper. I love that this isn't going too cosmic. I think too many comic book films throw everything up into world threatening menaces. A story a little tighter, even if it evolves into something larger, is very appealing to me.

Before I get hyped up for the man and GL project. I want to see a trailer first. John is one of my favorite DC characters.

I want him as the new Blade with those half vampire eyes

I think it’s spectacular

His voice might be close enough to JL Stewart to make yall feel nostalgic

This is great Casting 🖤👊🏽💚

He sounds, he looks like John Stewart from my childhood JL animated series. So stoked

Can't wait for Fillion, Chandler, and Pierre to be on screen together either as Guy, Hal, and John.

This is what I wish the dceu was building towards. Hopefully this show is a success and we can one day get a legit Justice League movie based off the cartoon show. I see the pieces coming together. The only question is, which Batman are they going to use.

What a casting

Aaron Pierre is John Stewart! I'm all in! LFG! Dammit!

"Omg, it's Mid-size Sedan!" - Maddox from Old (M. Night Shyamalan)

I really can’t wait to see what the suits looks like

Gunn's DC heroes include Corenswet as Superman, Alcock as Supergirl and now Pierre as Lantern. Three actors who can one day be big time stars. I am guessing they are signed for movie, television, cartoons and video game deals. Smart move by Warner Brothers. Merced as Hawkgirl is a sleeper movie star. She has worked so much over the last few years that she might get over used. She has a great chance to have a break out role as Dina next year in the Last of Us.

He's even got the Green Eyes lol

Gut will we get the comic scene where Batman punches Guy Gardner in the face? lol

I am glad they chose Aaron Pierre

The political conspiracy in that show is something that really happens. At least portions of it do. Civil Asset Forfeiture is something that happens throughout the country and is legal.

John needs a better research team...the rebel ridge plot is not a conspiracy but based on an actual systematic abuse of power enabled by poor law making. Please watch the John Oliver episode on this. The director even mentioned he reference that episode.

They might be investigating a Lantern's death. To make it more interesting, maybe Guy gardeners.😬😬

And now Kyle Chandler is confirmed too 🔥🔥🔥

This is great! ❤ the casting.

"IN BRIGHTEST DAY. IN BLACKEST NIGHT..."

I'm surprised at the excitement. I didn't think this many people would be excited to see a green lantern show. Glad to see it.

James Gunn’s casting is just freaking perfection. #RiseDCU #GreenLanternsLight

I’m personally more of a Hal Jordan fan than a Jon Stewart fan, but one thing I like is that from the sound of it it seems like James Gunn is committed to giving each of the Green Lanterns equal spotlight, because Green Lantern is a little different than heroes like Batman or Superman, with those ones you kinda just have the OG one and that’s it, Bruce Wayne is Batman, Clark Kent is Superman etc. and whenever they *did* have other people in those roles it was always a “Passing the torch” situation, whereas with Green Lantern there’s like 4 different human ones and everyone seems to have their own preference for who’s the quintessential one, and so I think James Gunn is making it where he’s like “Don’t worry, whoever you think is the best Green Lantern you’re going to see them in this new DCU” Which I think is a cool idea because it’ll please all the different camps of Green Lantern fans

Perfect casting

PEAK🔥🔥🔥

Aaron Pierre is perfect for Jon Stewart aka the green lantern let's hope him Kyle Chandler brings both their characters to justice respectively.

He played in a show called krypton about Superman grandfather on syfy in 2018. He was good in that and a great pic for John

Not John Stewart from the daily show with John Stewart ❤❤❤😂😂

Lanterns gonna be PEAK 🔥

GREAT CASTING! The movie sounds like it's going to be a Green Lanterns meets Men in Black.

He really looks like john stewart his voice his natural green eyes i think james Gunn made a good choice I give him a green light for that Role 🔥🔥🔥

I’m calling it now the main villain is gonna be black hand. Pre black lanterns. He has connections to the blackest night. Atrocitous of the red lanterns. And is a serial killer. He’s gonna be it

James Gunn is known to have a fair background of the comics, it would be crazy to think we wouldn't see Kilowog if we're talking about green lanterns that aren't on earth being shown in any shape or form, him and Ganthet (not a lantern exactly but in a way)are pretty much guaranteed, we just don't know the casting. Sinestro too but can be saved to the ending if Hal is already older Having human green lanterns interacting with the alien green lanterns should be a common thing to expect, but I don't see much discussion, then to be fair it would be a Rocket Raccoon situation that seeing the character is what will hook people instead of caring about the casting

Remember Barry Allen was forensic chemist before being the Flash. When investigate body it has alien Tech and ring are buried somewhere on Earth!! This will really fucking cool. 💪🤘🤘

He was amazing in Rebel Ridge, so yea 👍🏾

Perfect casting! I’m excited for GL. 👍🏻

Perfect fit for the role 😊I am excited and can’t wait to watch it

Love Arron. I would’ve love to have seen a darker skinned actor in the role but I’m sure he’ll do great 👍🏾

I was hoping for Idris Elba, but this fine.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:39 I remember from one of the DC animated movies or shows that one of the guardians of Oa was asked why earth had so many lanterns and they replied saying something along the lines of earth is home to an abnormally high amount of crisis level events and meta beings they needed to station more lanterns.

And Aaron Pierre is voicing young mufasa in the new lion king movie this year

Crazy he made that AI statement. Seeing as how John is already based on a real person and looks nothing like Aaron

Gotta give credit to DC They (almost) always have an excellent casting

Love this casting

I love the casting

Looks like they casted john Stewart to play himself

He looks familiar, & saw Krypton but not his recent work. He looks like John Stewart & I believe he will be a good fit :)

Earth is where they hid the White Lantern, no? Also, a murder in the American Heartland sounds like Black Hand behind it. Black Lanterns even!

I’m so excited!!

*Good choice to play me in the upcoming series. I approve*

Fantastic casting! Now let's get the Wally West version of The Flash to really mimic the Justice League cartoon.

Grabbed up a good looking brotha', to play a badass brotha'!!! Just might be the heartthrob of the show.

Great casting. I think the show will revolve around the coming of Darkseid. Maybe the Parademons placing mother boxes or obducting people. Not full invasion or close to it...but inklings of the main DCU story as a whole.

He is a perfect fit. Great actor too.

Phenomenal casting

The guy from the show Early Edition? Cool I loved that show.

8:30 she spoke my mind. I was thinking about the same MIB reference

Hal : don't look john Human Parallax : i always admired you, John.... John : WHATS IN THE LANTERN!!! WHATS IN THE Fn LANTERN 😂😂😂

It may only be his voice but he's also Mufasa in the new Mufasa movie

Please for the love of God, WB don't waste this cast.

I wanted him to play Val Zod

Fantastic!!!

Yea that’s a good casting green lantern was one of my favs when I was little along w Batman statik shok spider man n I remember black panther from the old tv show i loved the captain America movie

Am I the only one who thinks Nathan Dillion looks like a better Hal Jordan… not to mention voicing him in animations

Ricky whittle would be an amazing John Stewart!

Excited

This is great news!!

Perfect

i think when they said true detective its more like true detective + intergalactic stuff= to x- files more like just men in black

Not convinced it's a typical murder. I think this murder is something that DOES have galactic implications which is why the lanterns would be involved

John Stewart is the Quintessential lantern sorry. Love Hal though fantastic character glad we getting a show with both

YES!!!!!!!!!

Tyrese punching the air right now 😂

if they don't. introduce a intergang using Apocalyptic tech or something like that I'll be disappointed

He is so attractive o.o the best looking casting since Henry Cavill

He has been great in everything I've seen him in, brilliant in the MLK/X docuser es on Disney+

Wanted Jonathan Majors for this. Would have been one hell of a come bk. James Gunn was let go by marvel & went to DC, Jonathan Majors was completely given the middle finger by marvel so Gunn bringing him over to DC would have been excellent & ofc his talent is top tier

Good pick finally from James Gunn.

No, he doesn't look like john stewart, could he portray john? Sure, but i wouldn't say they look alike, John was created with a specific look, pierre has the energy but not the look
