Common No Longer Playing Green Lantern?

In February of 2008, Chicago Hip Hop star Common confirmed his role in Warner Brother’s upcoming Green Lantern movie. Common was quoted saying.

“It’s a blessing really, to know that I could be this superhero. Justice League itself is an honor, and Green Lantern is an incredible character to play. It’s a blessing to be associated with it.”

Now the word on the street has Common out of the role as the super-hero for the upcoming Green Lantern movie which is slated for a Dec. 17, 2010 release.

Warner Brothers says the reason why Common is now out had to do with production issues and script re-writes, that had the movie more focused on the Caucasian, Green Lantern, Hal Stewart instead of the African-American, Green Lantern, John Stewart.

On the plus side for fans of Common, you’ll still be able to see him in the upcoming movie Terminator: Salvation.
