In an interview with Collider , Tyrese confirms he’s met with Warner Bros. a couple of times regarding the recently renamed Green Lantern Corps movie and that he would be “the best Green Lantern.”“I’ve already had a couple of meetings at Warner Bros., so we’ll see what happens,” the star of the Transformers and Fast & Furious series said.“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.”Gibson first expressed a deep desire to wield a Green Lantern Power Ring back in January when he shared fan art of himself as a Green Lantern via social media.“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,” Tyrese said, adding that he would “commit” himself to the “process of seeing what’s possible.”Warner Bros. has had a Green Lantern project in the works for some time but it was only announced as Green Lantern Corps at San Diego Comic Con earlier this month.Rumor has it Chris Pine is up for the role of Hal Jordan in the reboot.Green Lantern Corps should hit theaters sometime in 2020.
