When Warner Bros. announced the release schedule for the DCEU a while back it was revealed that a Green Lantern Corps movie is in the plans. Since then there have been a lot of rumors going around regarding the upcoming film and now some new information has surfaced.
Deadline reports that David Goyer and Justin Rhodes have been tapped to write the script for the film, and the movie is being described as “Lethal Weapon” in space. Goyer is of course no stranger to DC films as he worked on “The Dark Knight”, “Man of Steel”, and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
The focus will be on Hal Jordan and John Stewart, and the story will focus on John Stewart’s relationship with Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps.
The report notes that it’s unclear as to whether or not Ryan Reynolds will be involved, but it seems unlikely considering his Green Lantern film was panned by fans and critics alike, and he has since found massive success playing Deadpool.
As far as casting goes, it’s been rumored for a while now that Armie Hammer could be playing Hal Jordan, and although Armie himself has spent plenty of time trolling fans on social media, nothing is confirmed at this point.
Tyrese hasn’t been shy about letting the world know that he would like a role in the Green Lantern film, as he’s shared several pieces of fan art on social media, and in 2015 he even went as far as to pitch Warner Bros. on the idea of casting him for the film. It remains to be seen if he’ll get the role, but he’s certainly more than willing.
