THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS MOVIE MAY HAVE 3 GREEN LANTERNS, HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW

When Ryan Reynolds starred as Hal Jordan in
2011’s Green Lantern it was supposed to be the
start of a new DC cinematic universe.
Unfortunately, for Warner Brothers, and Ryan
Reynolds' ego, the movie did not do very well.
The second attempt to launch DC’s extended
universe appears to have taken hold, however,
and while several films are part of that plan,
Green Lantern has been pushed to the back of the
line. However, it appears that when the Green
Lantern Corps finally does make their return to
the screen, it will be with a vengeance, and
possibly no fewer than three different Green
Lanterns.
While most of the new Justice League made at
least cameo appearances in Batman v Superman:
Dawn of Justice the one character that was
noticeable by his absence was Green Lantern. As
the character has been a core member of the
Justice League throughout its various
incarnations, most have believed that at least one
version of the character, either the best known
Hal Jordan, or possibly John Stewart, known as
the version used in the Justice League animated
series, would be cast soon. However, according
to Latino Review , when they went digging for
details on which version we would see, what they
learned was that current plans for 2020’s Green
Lantern Corps film don’t only include the Jordan
and Stewart characters, but also a third Lantern
from the comics: Kyle Rayner.
In the comics, Kyle Rayner is the young man who
replaces Hal Jordan as Green Lantern when the
traditional hero goes bad, in what is still one of
the most controversial comic book stories ever
written. It appears that in the cinematic version
the two may be existing concurrently. Apparently,
the plan is for Hal Jordan to play an older
Lantern, in the age range of somebody like Matt
Damon , while John Stewart and Kyle Rayner
would both be younger characters.
A number of actors have very publicly been
throwing their hat in the ring to try and get a shot
at Green Lantern. Most publicly Tyrese Gibson
has made it clear he wants the job. As recently as
a month ago the actor said he’d been in touch
with Warner Brothers about the role, though no
decision had apparently been made. In addition,
Chris Pine was rumored to be up for the role of
Hal Jordan, before he eventually chose the part of
Steve Trevor in the Wonder Woman movie
instead. Though that was apparently never the
case. Now, there’s a third major Green Lantern
that some actor can go after.
We’re still working on the assumption that we’ll
be introduced to at least one Green Lantern at
some point during the Justice League films.
Although, now there’s an entirely new candidate
for which one we might meet first.
But that also means we can speculate even more
about who might be cast. Who would you like to
see play Kyle Rayner in the DCEU? Sound off in
