At least with John Stewart, he got to play a lead character instead of a side character that most likely be killed or become stuck in Marvel purgatory like the Eternals.

Inb4 his only appearances after Lanterns for the foreseeable future are Quirky™ cameos in shows like Peacemaker

Wait for real? I thought there were like three or four plot threads that were left open at the end of the season??
Sumofabith2025-10-31 04:50
Yeah but that can be resolved in other shows or movies
OShaunesssy2025-10-31 06:01
Would have been nice for tge show to wrap up at least one plot thread before its series finale lol
kafit-bird2025-10-31 13:17
Oh, great. My favorite.
Bruhimonlyeleven2025-10-31 12:55
Just means the cast will come back, but for checkmate. They'll probably cameo peacemaker, and checkmate, in man of tomorrow. If he is still stuck there after that's checkmate will rescue him.
Apprehensive-Quit3532025-10-31 03:41
Presumably he'll be the Green Lantern when they attempt another Justice League film.
DarkDonut752025-10-31 06:54
Yup. That's why I said for the "foreseeable future" because I don't see the League officially forming in this "chapter"
As someone who grew up watching John in the Justice League cartoon, I'm pretty excited
CaptHayfever2025-11-01 04:43
And he knows it wasn't because of *him*.
TheBaconD2025-10-31 03:42
he was supposed to be in Blade?
DuckyHornet2025-10-31 08:31
He was supposed to play Blade's cousin, Bludge. Like Blade, he's also half monster because his mom similarly was being Frankenstein'd while giving birth to him
cappsy042025-10-31 09:33
I feel like this is a shit post... His cousin is called Bludge?
DuckyHornet2025-10-31 09:50
Don't blame me, I'm not Jim Shooter

SO HIS NAME IS ACCURATE THEN
lazylaser972025-10-31 04:02
Marvel + Blade ridiculous
Abraham_Issus2025-10-31 05:10
Since when was there Blade movie without Mahershala Ali?
SeekerVash2025-10-31 05:14
August 19th, 1998
Abraham_Issus2025-10-31 05:20
Wouldn’t he be too young for that time?
KostisPat2572025-10-31 06:05
He's talking about the Mahershala Ali movie lol. He was gonna play the villain
PhilAsp2025-10-31 05:58
He was meant to be in Ali’s Blade, but not as Blade.
Afwife19922025-10-31 06:14
Usually marvel is really good at snapping up rising talent. This was a bobble. He was really good in Rebel ridge and very attractive to boot. Getting him and Damsen Idris in the MCU would be good. I already hate that they may waste Emmy winner Yahya Abdul Mateen on and one and done with Wonder Man.
darcmosch2025-10-31 07:09
Honestly, I like it being more low stakes. Maybe they'll be able to add stuff and adlib their way into a fun character. I'll be honest, no idea how far along in production they are, but Ms. Marvel got the character right, and I'm glad we have it, flaws and all. More exposure means more pressure, more safe for all markets kinda stuff.
Afwife19922025-10-31 07:38
I don’t mind it being low stakes I just don’t want to see the character, and the actor, done with after the series. He’s too good.
darcmosch2025-10-31 08:55
I mean, I loved him as Black Manta and Dr. Manhattan. It's something. More of him in the screen ain't a bad thing and I'd rather see him in more stuff that properly utilizes his talents.
Afwife19922025-10-31 22:50
Dr Manhattan is what he won his Emmy for. He was so good.
darcmosch2025-10-31 22:54
Such a fantastic show. I need to rewatch it especially now.
BatmanForever232025-10-31 11:29
Is it confirmed there are 0 plans for Wonder Man after the show? Would be a very strange approach to close down the possibility of the character having any sort of future role, without even knowing how well received he and his show might be.
If there are no such plans, sounds like you'd be talking out of your ass.
steve327672025-10-31 15:45
Its not confirmed that there's no future for the character, but all you gotta do is look at phase 4 to see where this sentiment comes from
Afwife19922025-10-31 22:48
Wow, you’re so friendly. Actually I left out “may” (which I’ve corrected) as, no, I don’t have confirmation. It was meant to be a hypothetical based on announcements about doomsday and talk about focusing on X-men and a soft reboot. It’ll be almost two years between it being finished filming (April 2024) and airing (Jan 2026).
BatmanForever232025-10-31 22:57
Cool story bro.
Individual_Second3872025-10-31 14:05
Marvel seems to be more interested in stunt casting and feeding on nostalgia lately tbh.
alteredbeef2025-11-01 03:30
I get what you’re saying but I think the small projects that have the freedom to take chances are going to be the ones that keep the marvel spark sparking while they chase the Endgame mainstream audiences with trusted formula movies. IMHO
FriendlyDrummers2025-10-31 06:51
Honestly I can't imagine the disappointment
ScientistScary14142025-10-31 08:21
What was he supposed to be
FreeStall422025-10-31 09:43
Only ever been one Blade
BravoLeader30002025-10-31 13:14
Eh, it's kinda hard to be let go from a project that's not even in production and likely will never get made?
