Tyrese as the Green Lantern?

Maybe someone can tell me if this is a good fit

Green Lantern

From what I have heard people seem to love the Green Lantern and want someone ultra cool to play the character. IESB reported that T.I. has read for the part of John Stewart/Green Lantern in WB's Justice League, but news comes today from UGO that Tyrese is also in the running to play the superhero.

However, the site does note that Tyrese is merely one of several potential candidates that Warner Bros. is considering for the role, which means no one knows yet what the hell is going to happen. I do know one thing though, if Tyrese gets cast they will have to add a line to the script where the Green Lantern yells, "Bring IT!" because Tyrese delivers that line like he was born to say it… He really should trademark it and have t-shirts made.

Ironically enough, while IESB did not mention Tyrese as a candidate they did say they "were told studio execs were looking for a young hip actor that would cater to the urban demographic, a Tyrese Gibson or Common-type (I don’t know if either of these guys ever read or were contacted for this film)." Perhaps the suits are reading.

Who knows what will happen?
