Although it sounds like he hasn't actually read for the role, Blackfilm.com asked 'Lions for Lambs' actor Derek Luke if he would like to play Green Lantern in the 'Justice League' movie. Luke was very enthusiastic about the idea, stating that Green Lantern is one of his favorite characters.
"Because one, he's a black superhero and loved by many," said Luke. "It's funny. This past weekend, in Lucca, Tuscany (Italy), there was a comic convention and there were all these comics and there was a booth specifically set up for Green Lantern, and I found out about the Green Lantern because there was a guy who's a fan and set up a web page and took some of my movies and made a trailer of the Green Lantern. I was so impressed. I use a term 'Baby Jump' and this is like my dreamjump. It was so exciting."
Casting announcements on 'Justice League' have been slow in coming, so it's possible the role still awaits Derek Luke.
