Bacon Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I am use to a darker Lex(and Green Lantern). Maybe he is too funny, but I think he could do it if he wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Will there be as big of a backlash against black Lex Luthor as there was for black James Bond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Black Lex was already a thing, at least in the cartoon of... Justice League? Black Lex is all I know. I didn't even know there was a white green lantern either. I think a Black Brit could be Bond, but I generally dislike race/sex changes in characters. It was why I had no interest in the Green Lantern movie. He is black, because that was what I saw first, so it is weird to have a white green lantern.

Keyser_Soze Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 There are a lot of Green Lanterns and the first one was white. Also there is a female Green Lantern Triggered yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSoxFan9 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The Lex Luthor from Superman the animated series looks like the rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Johnson has been cast as Luthor? For which film? I have zero problem with that, especially after Jesse's horrid take on the character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Lex is a far more serious character than Dwayne is used to playing. To me Lex is always ruthless, cold, calculating. In wrestling terms, Lex is more HHH or Vince Mcmann than he is The Rock. I am not saying he can’t do it. He just hasn’t played anyone like him yet.

Ryan Reynolds played a different Green Lantern character than the one you saw in a cartoon bro. Ryan Reynolds was Hal Jordan. You watched Green Lantern John Stewart in the Justice League cartoon. Hal Jordan came first, and he is white. Dwayne Johnson has already been cast as Black Adam in the DCEU, so he isn't going to play Lex Luthor. So this is a pointless thread.

Because I saw black green lantern first, that is what I want. I don't care that white was first. All I ever knew was the black green lantern so that is all I want. 8 hours ago, Keyser_Soze said: There are a lot of Green Lanterns and the first one was white.

Suck a dick No, Dwayne Johnson can't play two characters in the DCEU like Chris Evans did because Evans played Marvel characters before there was an MCU. It would take years after a failed DCEU for Johnson to be recast within the same universe so contemplating it now is pointless and stupid. No one cares what you want - the point is there was no white washing or "recasting" of the Green Lantern character - they simply went with Hal Jordan over John Stewart and that's normal and fine. Thread is still pointless regardless of your insult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 How is a theoretical question about the ability of an actor to play a role outside his comfort range a pointless thread?

Doesn't even matter. The Rock being Back Adam means he mostly likely won't ever be Lex, sure. Never thought he'd really be considered for the role. I just remembered the cartoon and thought he looked the part and wondered if he could do it. I think he could. That's all there is to it. You are just being a cock. Just because it won't happen doesn't mean he doesn't have the acting chops to do it. Which it what the thread was about. sucer une bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Luthor show up in Black Adam stories(I’m honestly asking). Id love to see what Rock can do with a bad guy character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
