In advance of the Season 2 premiere of American Gods, star Ricky Whittle revealed that he is a huge fan of Green Lantern and has actually had talks about playing the Emerald Knight in Green Lantern Corps.
He has the support of Michael Green, the screenwriter behind 2011’s Green Lantern and 2017’s Logan, as well as the former showrunner on American Gods, but can he get the Green Lantern fanbase behind him?
This fan art imagining what Ricky Whittle could look like as John Stewart certainly won’t hurt his case.
