Director Zack Snyder has shared the first image of actor Wayne T. Carr in his John Stewart Green Lantern costume for Justice League.The image of Carr as John Stewart came courtesy of Snyder's cellphone during a Cinemark Playa Vista digital Q&A, which was later shared on Twitter. Carr can be seen in a green-and-black CG-Green Lantern costume, with the lantern emblem on his chest and ring on his finger glowing brightly.
Fans first learned that Zack Snyder wanted to include Green Lantern John Stewart in Justice League back in March. The director intended for Stewart to meet Bruce Wayne in one of Justice League's epilogue scenes. However, Warner Bros. objected to the use of John Stewart, which caused the character to be switched out for Harry Lennix's Martian Manhunter. Snyder later revealed in April that John Stewart was originally planned for Justice League's ending.
"[Snyder] said, 'We're going to shoot it, we'll see what the studio says,'" Wayne T. Carr said while discussing being cut from Justice League. "This is kind of crazy because we shot it in what I'm going to call 'Driveway Studios.' He called me after he showed it to everyone, I think it was the second time because they had watched it in parts. He was like, 'They're not letting me do this thing.'"
Zack Snyder later surprised fans by revealing behind-the-scenes photos from the filming of Carr as Green Lantern, which were filmed in the director's driveway. The actor also shared a close-up image of the production, resulting in #ReleaseTheGreenLanternScene trending on social media.
