Collider is reporting that the new series will focus more on the Corps than a single Lantern. Right now Jordan and Stewart are the two front runners. Theres a possibility that the actors will be revealed at Comic con.

Keep in mind that the movie is still in early development and a lot of things can change, but we’re hearing that the new Green Lantern movie will focus on more than one human Green Lantern.

Furthermore, the franchise will continue to focus on different Green Lanterns and never on just one, so really the Green Lantern movies look like they’ll be more about the Green Lantern Corps, which is an interesting approach.

But before we get there, the plan is just to focus on these two or three human Green Lanterns, and there’s a real possibility that Warner Bros. will introduce the Green Lanterns at Comic-Con this year at their panel in Hall H on Saturday. And if WB does bring on multiple Green Lanterns, then presumably one or more of them will pop up in Justice League.

The most popular Green Lantern is Hal Jordan, who was the main character in the 2011 movie. However, Guy Gardner and John Stewart later followed Jordan, and they weren’t the last in the comics. But we’re hearing possibly two or all three—Jordan, Stewart, and Gardner—could be the leads of Warner Bros’ Green Lantern reboot.

Take with a grain of salt obviously. Lock if old

[Mariolee]

I'm guessing the Ryan Reynolds Hal is dead

Spoiler

pool.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Awww but Kyle Rayner was able to do mechas

 

[BertramCooper]

I don't see how they could possibly improve upon the last Greg Lantern film.

 

[Delta Assault]

Terence Howard would be great.

Spoiler

for the first movie

 

[Imperial Bishop]

So it's a intergalactic buddy cop film?

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Buddy space cop film? Buddy space cop film.

 

[Manu]

Awww but Kyle Rayner was able to do mechas

I love how it's just a Patlabor. They couldn't even bother to modify the design a bit.

 

[- J - D -]

Lethal Weapon in space yess make it happen!

 

[Tucah]

Fine by me, though I wish Guy was also in there.

 

[xxracerxx]

I love how it's just a Patlabor. They couldn't even bother to modify the design a bit.

Why would they? It is from his imagination.

 

[ryan299]

Fine by me, though I wish Guy was also in there.

Guy is in the article but they say right now it's just Jordan and Stewart.


EDIT: totally missed it, but they say it could be all three GL with Guy

 

[Just_myles]

Wonder how they are going to approach this? I see the writer of that article calls it a 'series' but he is referring to the movie. For some reason I find that confusing. We talking TV here or movies?

 

[Superblatt]

Great idea, no joke. The lantern universe is way more interesting than just one character.

 

[PSqueak]

I love how it's just a Patlabor. They couldn't even bother to modify the design a bit.

You're a green lantern, you're in a pinch, you need to think a solution quickly, and your solution involves a mecha.

Your mind will undoubtly conjure an anime mecha you're a fan of or familiar with because that's way faster than coming up with your own desing.

Kyle is just showing his power level.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Michael Fassbender as Hal and Idris Elba as John Stewart. I'll settle for Idris for both roles if they cannot secure Fassbender.

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

 

[Slayven]

Awww but Kyle Rayner was able to do mechas

yep. Sure pick the worse 2 Lanterns.


Kyle and Guy would have fucked shit up

 

[novenD]

Awww but Kyle Rayner was able to do mechas

Dat Shinohara Heavy Industries rep

I'd love to have Stewart on the big screen, and if we didn't have to give up Hal either it would be even better.

 

[Mrs. Manky]

And here is an actual good fit for Idris Elba. Or, if they steer young, Dayo Okeniyi (Thresh from Hunger Games).

 

[shira]

Glad he's getting more work after daily show

 

[beyond_death]

Well I hope this is true. This way Hal and John fans will be satisfied. I hope Guy is mentioned atleast.

 

[unholyrevenger72]

Idris Elba as Stewart, Chris Pine as Hal, Tyrese as Gardner

 

[Jintor]

Why would they? It is from his imagination.

kyle has no imagination confirmed

didn't he summon a green gurren lagann at some point?



also where's milagro?

 

[Ahasverus]

Series?

Also, this is DC's Guardians of the Galaxy (l the irony) they better do it good. Unlike GOTG.

 

[shiftplusone]

yep. Sure pick the worse 2 Lanterns.


Kyle and Guy would have fucked shit up

.

 

[Brakke]

Lethal Weapon in space yess make it happen!

Worked for Iron Man!

 

[flaxknuckles]

Awesome. Hell just make the cosmic stuff it's own movie universe in scale.

 

[Magnet_Man]

Glad he's getting more work after daily show

What if that's why he's retiring!?

 

[Slayven]

Since they going to do dark and gritty, are the GLs going to arrest Hal for messing with that little girl?

 

[dmshaposv]

Idris elba as jon stewart
Michael fassbender as hal jordan

 

[Sou Da]

Since they going to do dark and gritty, are the GLs going to arrest Hal for messing with that little girl?

10/10

 

[The Silver]

Give us red lantern Guy Gardner

 

[Odoul]

That...is actually exactly what I was hoping for!

The Green Lantern Corps is supposed to be huge so use it.

A dual protagonist superhero movie actually could be awesome.

Especially with GL and different personalites meaning different constructions.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Give us red lantern Guy Gardner

Heck, let's bring the Star Sapphire Corps too

 

[btrboyev]

Glad he's getting more work after daily show

2004 era Stewart. He has aged so much since then.

 

[LiK]

this is what the first movie should've been about

 

[Slayven]

Give us red lantern Guy Gardner

with ginger stach

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Well I hope this is true. This way Hal and John fans will be satisfied. I hope Guy is mentioned atleast.

Two guys are super psyched right now

 

[The Silver]

Bring in Larfleeze so he can be taught the meaning of christmas

 

[The Last Wizard]

If they get John Stewart right and The Flash is Wally West and they team up, we're gonna be in for a hell of a ride

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So it's a intergalactic buddy cop film?

That's actually a much better idea than a tired reboot of a movie that just came out or completely switching directions. If they're smart they'll pull an Incredible Hulk and make it a psuedosequel that assumes everyone who cares saw the last one which lets them jump right into the story with just a few minor retcons.

 

[a916]

I'm very intrigued... as long as they had Hal Jordan in there. Sinestro vs Hal has to happen.

Also, if we're "jumping into" a Lantern Corps story, that further cements the idea that WB wants to hit the ground running and waste no time setting up the story. Which has it's upsides and downsides.

Give John the League spot.

Yes please, have him and Flash play off the funny couple routine while the trinity remains "serious"... mostly.

 

[broncobuster]

Give John the League spot.

I'm very intrigued... as long as they had Hal Jordan in there. Sinestro vs Hal has to happen.

I say bring back Mark Strong as Sinestro and don't make a big deal of it.

 

[odiin]

To quote the great poet, Miley Cyrus: "You get the best of both worlds!"

 

[Rastafarian42]

Definitely the best approach for Green Lantern going forward follow the comics and the Bruce Timm show approach and you got a winner.

 

[IrishNinja]

...huh. i'd feared the franchise would stay dead longer, too

Awww but Kyle Rayner was able to do mechas

best lantern, still gets slept on in most GL media

yep. Sure pick the worse 2 Lanterns.

Kyle and Guy would have fucked shit up

i'd put up with Guy to get more Kyle, yeah

 

[Slayven]

Definitely the best approach for Green Lantern going forward follow the comics and the Bruce Timm show approach and you got a winner.

nah, fuck bubbles and ray beams. We need some imagination, especially dealing with the cosmic scene. Bruce Timm is too simplistic.

Geoff Johns can go in the bushes

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

"Green Lantern movie may feature 3 of the 4 most well known green lanterns" is a hell of a scoop

When he's not doing the Late Show, of course.
