To DC Comic fans, Green Lantern has always been played by a male. With all due respect to the females out there this is not being said with discrimination intended.
To the average DC comic or Justice League reader, Green Lantern will always be known as a male character, regardless of whether he is black or white.
However, for the die-hard fans who are bound to raise some eyebrows, there is actually a female GL. So if we end up seeing a female Green Lantern in one of Zach Snyder's upcoming films, particularly in "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice," such should not be surprising.
Jessica Cruz is an unfamiliar name that has cropped up to play the part of a female Green Lantern. And the actress earlier rumored to be considered for the part was "Fast and Furious" star Michelle Rodriguez.
However, it seems that she is not interested in the role and said her piece via TMZ. To sum it all up, she said:
Stop Stealing White Superhero Roles!!
Realizing that her response may have been too general, she posted a video to further elaborate on her piece.
