Tyrese Gibson has been campaigning to play Green Lantern John Stewart for the past week on his social media accounts, and it looks like it may have led to a meeting with Warner Bros. about the role. Yesterday the actor posted an image on his Instagram of Warner Bros. Studios, with the caption "I don't talk….. I move….. #WB #GreenLanternMission."

I don't talk….. I move….. #WB #GreenLanternMission

The Oath…..

Obviously this doesn't mean Gibson will definitely play John Stewart, and even though he might appear in a DC movie before 2020's GREEN LANTERN, it's not like Warner Bros. is rushing around trying to find someone for the part.

Tyrese Gibson is a decent actor, and I'm not against him playing GL, however like most of you, I do think there are better options out there. But remember, it was only a meeting with Warner Bros., and who knows how the conversation went. There's always a chance WB said, "We appreciate your enthusiasm, but we don't believe you're the right actor for the role," or "Sorry, but we're already in talks with a different actor for the part." Do you think Gibson is actually in the running to play Green Lantern?

Tyrese Gibson can be seen next in FURIOUS 7 on April 3, 2015, and GREEN LANTERN is scheduled to be released on June 19, 2020.
