There has been a lot of rumors going around about who will play Green Lantern in the Justice League or solo film and even if he will appear in the DC TV universe. One thing that seems to be the general consensus is that it will be the John Stewart version of Green Lantern.
The 2011 film featured GL Hal Jordan, played by Ryan Reynolds, the movie was considered a flop but at first it was thought they may still keep Reynolds as GL in the DC Movie universe. But Reynolds seem to not want to reprise the role and there was questions how they may tie that film to the Man Of Steel storyline going forward. When DC/Warner Bros announce Batman V Superman film and that it would lead to the Justice League talk was who would play who. Nearly all the major players have been named with one exception Green Lantern. It has not been said which version would be in it or who would play him. While that has been going on other rumors surfaced that GL could appear in DC's TV universe, they have steadily been adding characters from the DC comic universe into the Arrow/Flash shows and other spinoff's are planned and with the movie and TV universes being separate there is the possibility the same characters could appear in both. While DC/Warner Bros haven't made any announcements rumors have surfaced some by the fans but some by the actors looking to or possible playing the character, for the movie universe Dwayne The Rock Johnson made comments to it before it was said he would play Black Adam in Shazam, Idris Elba has been a fan favorite but he is contractually obligated to Marvel and can't play a DC character, Tyrese Gibson has made a major push via social media and posted a number of pics of himself as Green Lantern. Mow even the TV universe GL rumors are picking up, David Ramsey who plays John Diggle has given fuel to the rumor that Diggle is actually John Stewart, although Ferris Air has been mentioned which has to do with Hal and not John. There has been rumors of GL in the TV universe for a while. One rumor that hasn't fit to this is Nathan Fillion possibly being GL he would play Hal most likely if the rumors were true, which could fit with a rumor of an older seasoned GL in the Justice League. While they should really keep closer to the comics in whatever they do so they can build the Corps up but it looks like they will go a different direction to distinguish it from the 2011 film which isn't such a bad thing especially since it's part of a bigger cinematic universe. We'll have to see what DC/Warner Bros decides which hopefully will happen soon, until then will have wait patiently.

There has been a number of rumors floating around lately, but some seem to have someone backing them up, well sort of. Rumors have come out that the DC movie universe Green Lantern would be older, like the gray hair Hal years back in the comics, other rumor is he will not be in the Justice League film. Another rumor has him showing up to warn of Darkseid. While this seem to be just rumors one more rumor seems to have an actor backing them up. Tyrese Gibson has been posting on Facebook, Instagram, and such hinting that he is up for or even has the roll stating, "I am fully committed to suiting up for this adventure." Idris Elba has been a fan favorite for the role but it is said he can't do it because of his commitment to Marvel. It is entirely possible we may get two Green Lanterns Hal for Justice League and John for the standalone film. Gibson posted the photos featured here of him as Green Lantern to support his cause. As soon as we get official word we will post it. Warner announce a bunch of films from the DC Universe including film that were known and not known, including a Green Lantern film for 2020. The list includes Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, Shazam, Suicide Squad, Flash, and multiple Justice League films. Not on the list was Batman or Superman but Warner Bros CEO Kevin Tsujihara said that there will be standalone films for them. The separate Green Lantern and Flash films go against earlier rumors of a "buddy" film for the two but that was also rumored to by a TV movie. It is not known at this point who will be playing Green Lantern. Below is the film slate timeline.
A pic of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman was revealed at SDCC and a teaser trailer was shown for Batman V Superman. The teaser trailer featured Batman on a roof top with the Bat Signal, Superman looking down on him as Batman looks up at Superman both with eyes a glow. Batman is in a armored costume different from previously shown pis that show him in which include the lighted eyes. More info as we get it. Updated with armored Batman pic below. From Cosmic Book News Three days ago saw a reported schedule released for the Warner Bros. DC Comics movies. Among the list was a Flash and Green Lantern team-up said to be coming Christmas 2017. Following the article, we were told that some of the list actually included TV movies. Now it's been confirmed to us by a source close to WB that the Flash and Green Lantern team-up will be a TV movie on the CW. We know that Grant Gustin recently debuted as Barry Allen in Season 2 of Arrow, and The Flash series premiers this Fall on the CW. Green Lantern has already been hinted at in the Arrow universe with mention of Coast City and Ferris Air. Last year saw Arrow EP Marc Guggenheim mention that using Green Lantern is something they have definitely talked about. As both are set in the Arrow universe, we are guessing it's also possible the TV movie could feature Stephen Amell as well. Amell is also set appear in the pilot episode of The Flash. While certain parts of this make sense I still wonder about the movie side of it a Justice League movie should have Green lantern and the Flash in it, would this mean there are separate TV and movie universes or like Marvels Agents of Shield would there be a cross over between the two, guess we will find out soon. If the rumors are true Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be Black Adam in the forthcoming Shazam film and Jason Momoa will be Aquaman in Justice League, and possible Batman V Superman. It has been rumored for a while that Johnson would play some DC character possible GL John Stewart or Lobo as well as Black Adam, he certainly fits the character's look (especially in the pic at right). Momoa has also been rumored for Aquaman for a while. As of now these are still rumors but as we reported yesterday DC Comics looks to make an announcement at SDCC pertaining to there movie line-up and possible what characters are involved and who will play them. A number of rumors have come out pertaining to the Justice League movie, Latino-Review has posted that the film will be shot back to back with Batman V Superman and has a release date of May 5, 2017. It is also rumored to use the New 52 roster from the comics. Also Cosmic Book News via Nikki Finke has posted a movie line-up that includes a Green Lantern/Flash team-up film among others it also states Ryan Renyolds won't return as Green Lantern. Below is the rumored movie line-up. Another note is that Batman V Superman was delayed due to casting of the other members of the Justice League so they could make sure they were all set before filming and signed to long term contracts. Many of these rumors are supposedly set to be announced at SDCC in July. May 2016 – Batman v Superman July 2016 – Shazam Xmas 2016 – Sandman May 2017 – Justice League July 2017 – Wonder Woman Xmas 2017 – Flash and Green Lantern team-up May 2018 – Man Of Steel 2 |
