With casting getting under way for the Justice League of America film and the role of Green Lantern (John Stewart) being a Black character, why haven't you taken a crack at it? Derek Luke: You know what? That's one of my favorite characters.
Really? Why so? Derek Luke: Because one, he's a black superhero and loved by many. It's funny. This past weekend, in Lucca, Tuscany (Italy), there was a comic convention and there were all these comics and there was a booth specifically set up for Green Lantern, and I found out about the Green Lantern because there was a guy who's a fan and set up a web page and took some of my movies and made a trailer of the Green Lantern. I was so impressed. I use a term 'Baby Jump' and this is like my dreamjump. It was so exciting.
If given the opportunity to play the role in a film like Justice League of America, would you do it? Derek Luke: I would jump with his powers right on it.
