‘Fast and Furious’ Star Campaigning Heavily to Play Green Lantern

Two massive franchises apparently aren’t enough for some actors. 

Tyrese Gibson, known for roles in the Fast and Furious and Transformers films, has recently posted to Instagram a slew of images of himself dressed as Green Lantern. Gibson has posted 14 such pics, many of which are credited to artist Bosslogic.

The actor posted the first image Jan. 23, accompanied by the caption “Rumor has it that.” More recent posts have included the quote “I am fully committed to suiting up for this adventure.”

Gibson appears to be gunning to play the DC Comics character in Warner Bros.’ planned Green Lantern film, slated for 2020. Ryan Reynolds played the character in the 2011 film version, which grossed $219 million and was widely considered by fans to be a disappointment.
