DC Studios has narrowed down its picks to play John Stewart in the upcoming Green Lantern series, Lanterns. The list includes Rebel Ridge's Aaron Pierre and If Beale Street Could Talk's Stephan James. While Hal Jordan is typically seen as the most famous Green Lantern in comics, John Stewart is likely the character that most general audiences know due to his role in hit animated series like Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, and Static Shock. John Stewart was created by writer Dennis O'Neil and artist Neal Adams and made his first appearance in Green Lantern Vol. 2 #87 in December 1971. He was DC Comics' first African-American superhero. Fans have been waiting for the character to make his live-action debut for years, and now it appears the casting search is nearly complete.
