The Rock noted during a Q&A that he had a meeting with the CEO of Warner Bros. about working with DC Comics in 2014. The rumor that came out of the meetin is that The Rock was in talks to play John Stewart, the African-American Green Lantern and was expected to replace Ryan Reynolds’ Hal Jordan in the superhero’s next film. IGN has published an article about those rumors based on The Rock posting on his Instagram, “#JohnStewartCanStillWhupSupermansAss”
The Rock has since then replied to IGN’s tweet:
