,,,Multiple Green Lanterns!
According to Collider, DC's next attempt at a Green Lantern movie may actually have multiple Green Lanterns. Yeah, okay, we saw plenty of Green Lanterns in that god-awful Ryan Reynolds attempt, but this one will focus around two or three of the Earth-born Lanterns (i.e. Hal Jordan, John Stewert, and/or Guy Garner). Comicbook.com suggested that by following these three heroes, the movie could possibly be a really good "buddy cop" kind of movie. The fact that each one of these Lanterns has a very distinct personality that either compliments the others or rubs them the wrong way isn't completely lost on me either. I think a little conflict within the group would make the story that much more fun to watch. I mean, as much as they may disagree on how to handle certain situations, they always come together to get the job done. My only complaint is that Kyle Rayner wasn't one of the Lanterns mentioned as making a possible appearance, but hey! It's still early, and a lot can happen between now and the time filming is set to begin. Let's be honest, Marvel and Sony just now decided on a Spider-Man actor, and Captain America: Civil War sounds like it's nearly two-thirds of the way done with filming, so I'm guessing they aren't in too much of a hurry to cast people right now.
My hope is that this particular Green Lantern film really makes an impression with people, and that somewhere down the road we get a Green Lantern: Blackest Night movie! They could pull it off, too, since WB owns all of the DC characters for their own cinematic universe. I'm sure I'm getting way ahead of myself, though!
Collider is speculating that all of this will be confirmed in the next few weeks at Comic Con International: San Diego. They even think that at least one of the Green Lanterns will be introduced to everyone there. I'll keep you up to speed on everything as news of this starts to unfold!
