Nope. She needs to go too. Mark Strong is the only physical actor other than Bassett as Waller that should remain. Oh, and Geoffrey Rush as the voice of Tomar-Re

I'm indifferent towards Blake Lively. She wasn't bad but she really didn't get much to do either.

Bassett was excellent casting as Waller but then the film did nothing interesting with her. She should have been the DC movie universe equivalent of Nick Fury. Except, instead of seeking to unite all these heroes, she would be seeking to find ways to control or exploit them. That would be a great way to introduce the Suicide Squad.

Geoffrey Rush was great as Tomar-Re but like Mark Strong as Sinestro and the rest of Oa, they were all cast aside for a lukewarm Earth based story.

I actually think Reynolds was fine as Hal (even if he was written as a merge between Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner). Give him a better script and he'd be fine.

And no to a reboot. Enough with the damn reboots. Just make a sequel that spends at most 15 minutes on Earth. 10 for establishing Hal as the Green Lantern of Earth before he goes off into space for an entire adventure off planet. The last 5 minutes should simply be him returning home to Carol to tell her of his adventures.

They should do the Green Lantern films as an anthology series. The next film should be about John Stewart, the one after that about Guy Gardner, and the one after that about Kyle Rayner.

And then, hell, do one about Killawog.

Now that I think about it, that would be even better as a TV series.

They could do it like Marvel did with The Incredible Hulk with the origin being retold in the first five minutes and then continuing on with the story. It was a good movie.


Then one with G'nort and another with Ch'p.

Hey if Marvel is putting a raccoon on the screen, DC can surely put Ch'p up there too.

(For those that don't know who Ch'p is, he is a chipmunk Green Lantern.)

RocShemp

I suppose that could work. And I do like The Incredible Hulk.

He's back in the New 52:

There's also Dex-Starr, the cat Red Lantern.

(Red Lanterns are powered by rage, so Dex-Starr is a joke based on the rage cat meme.)

Normally I agree about reboots, but in a case like this where the first film was such a major flop it's better to just start from scratch and reboot if you ask me. I'd be okay with the way Marvel did it with Hulk/The Incredible Hulk.

Hearing it was announced Chris Pine is Hal.

I searched but didn't see a thread for the upcoming Green Lantern movie. Apparently the movie isn't going to be titled just Green Lantern. It is now going to be titled Green Lantern Corps.

So I guess the recent rumors that Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart will both be in the movie might be true. Hopefully Ch'p will be in it too.

Right direction go with GL.

Solid Snake

Yeah. We better get Guy Gardner. Hated him as a kid but Rebirth onward? I fucking love Guy Gardner. FUCK. I loved the Corps book. Was so much fun seeing that crew do their thang.

Brack

You're two minutes late, dude.

kgrogers1979

I got beat by a minute in the Batman v Superman thread as well.

Actually, I would have been first in this thread, but I searched and couldn't find it. I ended up posting it in the Future DC movie thread instead, and it looks like a mod moved it here.

Deftones

considering the success of GotG, I can see why they are doing this.

PhantomStranger

I'll feel cheated if Guy Gardner isn't in the movie as well. I get the feeling we are going to get a lot more alien Lanterns and many female Lanterns.

LorenzoL

Guy better be included in this movie. In regards to females GL, I only remember Katma Tui and the orange looking one that played a prominent role in the comics. Is there more?

kgrogers1979

Considering there are 7,200 Green Lanterns, I am sure there are a lot of female Lanterns out there. The Corps can't be that much of a sausagefest...

Seriously though, there are few "named" Green Lanterns that are major characters. The vast majority of them are basically "red shirts." So they can create as many as the story needs...

TheMovieman

There's plenty to cull from and this could work as an ensemble pic with Chris Pine leading.

Hal Jordan & John Stewart Confirmed for ‘Green Lantern Corps’?

What is going on with Green Lantern Corps.? We've heard little about this DC Comics reboot. And for good reason. It is one of the final films in Warner Bros.' current superhero movie line-up. And it won't hit theaters until 2020. But a new piece of concept art shown off at a fan convention may finally have our answer as to who the lead characters will be.

There are many, many Green Lanterns in the DC Comics upon which this particular Justice League spinoff is based. And it has long been rumored that we'll see at least two main characters. Most believe these two will be Hal Jordan, played by Ryan Reynolds in the 2011 bomb Green Lantern, and John Stewart, who has never been seen in a live-action feature film. This new art seemingly confirms that we'll get this pairing when the movie finally arrives five years from now.

Concept art for Green Lantern Corps. was shown off at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego. But it was a blink and you missed it moment that came and went quickly during Warner Bros. and DC's giant Hall H panel. Until now, there has not been a solid description of what was depicted in this brief sneak peek. Now, that same art has been spotted at Professional Cinema Days in Sorrento, Italy.

Warner Bros.' plan has always been to feature at least two human Green Lanterns in their reboot. But nothing has ever been confirmed by the studio. And they were fairly quiet in announcing that it would even be called Green Lantern Corps., a title that hints at multiple lead characters. According to CineFilos, Hal Jordan and John Stewart were the two characters shown as part of the presentation. Here is a translation of what they had to say.

“"Hal Jordan and John Stewart will be deployed together in the DC / Warner film. That has become more concrete following the Warner panel during the Professional Days of Cinema in Sorrento. A featurette was shown at the event, of the DC universe in progress and the movies. And among other things, we have seen a concept of the Green Lantern Corps in which stood out clearly these two characters."

Sadly, we do not have a look at the art in question. Way back in January, before SDCC this year, actor Tyrese Gibson shared fan art depicting the actor as John Stewart from the Green Lantern comic books. Ever since then, he has been actively campaigning for the role through his social media platforms, even teasing that he has met with Warner Bros. for the coveted role in Green Lantern Corps. At this time, we haven't heard of anyone confirmed to be in talks for this role.

Lance Gross has also thrown his hat into the ring for this coveted role. But since he started an online campaign in August, we've heard little to nothing on that front. There was also a rumor from June that claimed Chris Pine was in contention to play Hal Jordan, alongside whoever lands the John Stewart role, but that turned out to be false. Chris Pine signed on to play Steve Trevor in another Warner Bros. superhero movie, Wonder Woman. That film is currently filming. What do you think? Are we getting both Hal Jordan and John Stewart in Green Lantern Corps.? As this was official concept art, it seems very likely.

Green Lantern Corps. comes to theaters June 19th, 2020.
