If you've been following the 'Fast and Furious' actor on Instagram, you'd realize by know that he's been campaigning to star as John Stewart in the 'Green Lantern Corps' movie.

While he's been very vocal about how he'd be the perfect candidate for the role, he hasn't spoken much on how the idea came about until now. In a recent interview with Collider, Tyrese speaks about where it all began and where he's at with the casting process.

"Well I was innocent from the beginning," he says. "I was at home eating a bowl of Lucky Charms in my drawers, my ugly feet were out, and I got about six direct messages on Instagram with photos of me as the Green Lantern. This particular fan who did this fan art said that there was a community of people that had been talking for like a month and a half about who they think would be the best Green Lantern and they all picked me. I said to them, 'I took the oath, and I am going to commit myself to this process of seeing what's possible.'"

He then goes on to confirm that he's had meetings with Warner Bros., which was unknown up to this point.

"I've already had a couple of meetings at Warner Bros., so we'll see what happens," he continues. "I do believe that there needs to be more black superheroes out there, but that's not even my motivation. I think I would be the best Green Lantern and based on my fans and supporters that spent around $6 billion in box office receipts, I feel like there's a fanbase of fans out there waiting to see me put on this green suit and do my thing. So I would love to confirm something today but I can't. We'll just keep following up."

The 'Green Lantern Corps' movie is scheduled for 2020.
