During the epicDC and Warner Bros.panel inHall HatComic-Con, an earlyrumorwas confirmed when it was announced that the upcomingGreen Lanternreboot is officially titledGreen Lantern Corps.Nothing further was revealed about the movie, and no casting was announced. This makes sense, as the film isn’t scheduled to hit theaters untilJune 2020. That’s a full five years away.
Still, many thought aGreen Lanternactor would be announced at Warner Bros.' epic event, which did tease both of next year’s big DC releases,Batman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squad, with never-before-seen footage (which may or may not be available on the internet in the very near future). An earlier report claimed that both John Stewart and Hal Jordan will headline this sci-fi superhero adventure. And it has been widely rumored that these characters will be played byTyrese GibsonandChris Pine, respectively.
The fact that no casting was announced for either character sheds some truth on the often told rumor that Green Lantern is not in most ofJustice League Part 1, only showing up at the end to warn the other superheroes of a threat from deep space. While the titleGreen Lantern Corps.certainly hints that Hal Jordan and John Stewart will be a part of the action, that was not confirmed. It was previously reported that the movie will also include third most popular human Green Lantern Guy Gardner, introducing the character to the big screen for the first time.
Green Lantern Corps.is an intergalactic police force that controls over 3,600 sectors of the known universe. The idea of introducingGreen Lantern Corps.on the big screen is not new, and the ruling force was seen in the original 2011Green LanternstarringRyan Reynolds. Though, it focused more on the various alien Lanterns and did not introduce any of the other human (or Earthling) characters known from the comic books. What do you think? Is this the best way for DC to go?
