‘Lanterns’ Rumor: Damson Idris Eyed For Green Lantern John Stewart In DC Universe

Lanterns may have found their John Stewart! A new rumor suggests the studio is eyeing Damson Idris to play the iconic Green Lantern in the new DC Universe.

With Kyle Chandler now being confirmed to play Hal Jordan in Lanterns, the internet has turned their eyes to John Stewart, expecting the iconic Justice League hero to be cast sooner rather than later now that his mentor has finally had his contract cemented. The actor has had a long career in television, with his experience with sci-fi film Outside the Wire and crime drama Snowfall making him a solid fit for the tone being sought out by Lanterns. Fans are also reacting relatively well to the news that Idris could be the main Green Lantern in the DC Universe for the foreseeable future, especially as Kyle Chandler has a surprisingly sparse contract for his role as Hal Jordan.
