David Ramsey, one of the leading actors of The CW's "Arrow," may be suiting up as another famous superhero in the DC Universe sometime soon. Geek Outpost is whispering that Ramsey may be in line to play The Green Lantern somewhere down the road.
Actually, he may already be playing him as John Diggle on "Arrow" right now.
"Is Diggle John Stewart? I cannot say 'yes,' and I cannot say, 'no,'" David said recently. "I'm serious! I do know that there is serious discussion about whether or not this guy becomes John Stewart. But, I mean, I'll say this: it is top-secret. I've asked them and they're like, 'we're working on some stuff.' If that's the case, it's gonna be huge. This is the stuff they want to avoid. I think they don't want anybody to know yet and they haven't even told me. But they have told me that they are thinking about it and that they are considering it. But they're not going to release anything yet. That's exactly what they told me. Greg Berlanti told me that. Andrew [Kreisberg] and Marc [Guggenheim] have told me that. I haven't spoken to Geoff Johns about i. But that's the word from people directly involved in Arrow- that they're working on something.
"Here's the truth of it: If I knew, I would tell you I know the answer to that, but I'm not at liberty to tell you that. I would answer like that. I probably wouldn't tell you anyway, but I would at least tell you that I know. I honestly do not know."
As of now, a Green Lantern has yet to be cast in the DC Cinematic Universe. In fact, there isn't even a Green Lantern film on the schedule, though a team-up between The Flash and Green Lantern is rumored for the big screen. However, with the Justice League films on the horizon, fans know a member of the Green Lantern corps is coming. Whether or not DC draws from its pool of television talent is anyone's guess at this point.
