Moonlight won big at the Oscars taking home Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, and now it’s time for the stars involved in the groundbreaking, landmark achievement to branch out onto wider projects.
One such prospect is the rumor that star Trevante Rhodes is currently in talks to play John Stewart for the eventual DCEU blockbuster Green Lantern Corps.
At this past weekend’s Academy Awards, Rhodes was asked by MTV about the speculation, with the actor simply stating “yes” to the idea of playing a superhero, and “I don’t know”when asked specifically about Green Lantern.
Naturally, Rhodes could be playing down rumors to keep the official casting a surprise. There’s also speculation that one member of the Green Lantern Corps will make an appearance in this November’s DC superhero blowout extravaganza Justice League.
