Considering how some folks feel some kind of way about actor Aaron Pierre being cast as Green Lantern John Stewart, I found this reveal kind of interesting considering if this would have happened once again some folks would have felt some kind of way about it but for different reasons.

James Gunn Reveals Aaron Pierre Was Almost One of His 'Guardians of the Galaxy'

From Collider.com.

Aaron Pierre was cast as John Stewart in the DC series Lanterns following an epic search to fill the role spearheaded by James Gunn. Pierre fought off competition from Stephan James to land the coveted role in the show, which is based on the DC comic Green Lantern. However, Gunn has now revealed at New York Comic Con, during a presentation of DC's upcoming projects, that Pierre was originally earmarked for another role, one from Gunn's past.

Gunn stated that Pierre was originally considered for the role of Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, a role which ultimately went to Will Poulter. It's the second Marvel role that Pierre missed out on — he was also cast in Marvel's long-gestating Blade reboot but, given that movie's troubled production history, it should come as no surprise that Pierre stepped away to explore other opportunities which led him to the comic book studio across the street. Gunn said:

“Aaron Pierre is somebody who I’ve wanted to work together with for a long time. People don’t know, but he was almost cast as Adam Warlock. He’s an amazing actor, and I just really admired him from the beginning of his career. Seeing him read with Kyle was one of those miraculous moments. I don’t care what they’re saying, I just love what they’re saying together. When we first started the DCU, the first couple of weeks of heading this out, we got together with a group of writers, and Tom King was one of those writers, and we were in this room, and we came up with sort of this concept for Lanterns . It’s a much more it’s a very grounded series, a very real series, which is a strange thing to say about a Green Lanterns show. But it’s going to be something like nobody’s ever seen before.”
 

New Na'vi Tribe and Pandoran Creatures Emerge in Avatar: Fire and Ash Concept Art

Disney unveiled five new pieces of concept art from Avatar: Fire and Ash at the studio's D23 Brazil event on Saturday. The illustrations from James Cameron's sequel showcase a host of designs teasing new corners of Pandora that have yet to be explored on screen.

Cameron explained the new movie's title in an interview with Entertainment Weekly at D23 in Anaheim, Calif., earlier this year. "It took a long time to come up with a title that I felt resonated with what's in the film," the Titanic director said. "I don't think I could say too much about it until you see the film and you see what it means, but if you think of fire as hatred, anger, violence, that sort of thing, and ash is the aftermath — so what's the aftermath? Grief, loss, right? And then what does that cause in the future? More violence, more anger, more hatred. It's a vicious cycle. So that's the thinking."

Avatar: Fire and Ash is set to land in theaters on Dec. 19, 2025.
