cast in the lead role of Guy GardnerScott was Earth’s first Green Lantern, who, true to the comics, is a gay man. He was created by Martin Nodell and made his comic book debut in 1940. A train engineer by trade, Scott derived his powers from a mystical green lantern crafted from a mysterious meteorite. He later joined the Justice Society of America, and in universe-hopping adventures would sometimes team with members of the Green Lantern Corps, including Hal Jordan.
Based on the DC Comics property, the show was first announced in 2019 and was ordered to series last year. The story spans decades and galaxies, beginning on Earth in 1941 with Scott, and then heading to 1984 with cocky alpha male Gardner and half-alien Bree Jarta. They’ll be joined by a multitude of other Lanterns — from comic book favorites to never-before-seen heroes.
Irvine most recently starred in the USA Network series “Treadstone.” He is primarily know for his feature work, having starred in films like “War Horse,” “The Railway Man,” “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again,” and “Billionaire Boys Club.” Irvine also played the lead role in Roland Emmerich’s 2015 film “Stonewall,” about the landmark riots in New York City in 1969 that launched the LGBTQ rights movement as we know it today.HBO Max has ordered 10 one-hour episodes of “Green Lantern.
As a gay man I don't typically have an issue with straight actors playing gay roles but now with his second high profile gay role Irvine does seem to be a prime example of straight actors being given more opportunities even when it comes to LGBT roles.
Twitter: 'Stop casting straight dudes as gay characters!' Also twitter: 'Stop stereotyping gay actors by always casting them as gay characters!'
Here's an idea; hire queer actors to play queer characters.

So is he actually gay or is this another straight actor about to do a crappy job of portraying what a gay actor could do 1,000 times better 🤔

WB:fuck it, let's burn all this shit to the ground until Discovery owns us.
Alan Scott is the original Green Lantern dating back to 1940. Decades of history with this character. And all you put in the head line is “gay character”? As if that’s what defines the character? Are you serious?
