Although there is no confirmation if he has bagged the role or not, it is very likely that he will play the John Stewart Green Lantern as the former is the only known colored Earth-bound Green Lantern. Another human Green Lantern is Kyle Rayner, who replaced Hal Jordan in the comic books after the latter lost his sanity and killed other members of the Green Lantern Corps.
In the 2011 "Green Lantern" movie, Ryan Reynolds played the role of Hal Jordan as Green Lantern. Prior to the showing of the just-pulled out "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," it was speculated that actor Dan Amboyer would play Green Lantern in the movie, as per Movie Pilot. However, the movie just ended without showing even a shadow of Amboyer and his supposed Green Lantern.
