The list of cast for Justice League Part 1 is slowly being filled in as rumors about the possible actors for different roles have surfaced. Tyrese Gibson continue to tease fans about being the Green Lantern, and says 'the oath' has been taken.

The heroes for Justice League Part 1 are soon to be complete as casting is currently in the works. As of now, the ones confirmed to storm into the DC cinematic universe are Henry Cavill as Superman, and Ben Affleck as Batman. They will also be appearing in their upcoming film to be released next year entitled "Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice".

Aside from Cavill and Affleck, Gal Gadot is also on the list, as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg. Jeremy Irons is set to play as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, and Laurence Fishbourne as Perry White.

Although they have not been confirmed as part of the cast yet, among those rumored to be part of Justice League Part 1 are Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam, Jenna Malone as Robin, Lance Reddick as the Martian Manhunter, Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves, Harry Lennix as General Swanwick, Christina Wren as Major Carrie Farris, and Jared Leto as Joker.

Meanwhile, the puzzle as to who will play the role of Green Lantern, is still ongoing. Furious 7 actor Tyrese Gibson continue to tease fans about the role by posting photos of him being Green Lantern on Instagram. Recently, Gibson was asked about whether or not he's playing the role, and his answer did not seem to deny nor confirm anything, but still continue to tease.

"There are certain things I can't speak on. But I will say, however this works out, it's definitely the fans' fault. I was at home minding my own business and fans start creating these fan-made videos of me as Green Lantern and I looked into it. I've been a fan of the Green Lantern. I took the oath, and I had a meeting at Warner Bros. and certain things were said and talked about. We'll just see what happens," Gibson said.

When asked about Comic-Con and if he'll make an appearance in the event, the actor said "You never know. I might be there on the other side of an announcement."

Hopefully the announcement about who's set to play Green Lantern will be made soon.

Justice League Part 1 will be directed by Zach Snyder, and will soon hit theaters in November 17, 2017.
