We have to wait till November to finally see the Justice League<\/a> form for the very first time on the big screen. When they do team up to take on the forces of evil, they\u2019ll be without the Emerald Knights. Rumor has it, we may have to wait to see the Green Lanterns until Justice League 2<\/em>. However, the Green Lantern Corps<\/em> script has found its writers. David S. Goyer and Justin Rhodes are set to begin work on a script that\u2019s described as “Lethal Weapon<\/em> in space.” It will focus on Hal Jordan and John Stewart.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen Jordan in the disappointing 2011 Green Lantern<\/em> portrayed by Ryan Reynolds. This will be the first time we see a live action adaptation of John Stewart. According to Warner Bros and DC, the film will be an origin story and will center on the relationship between Hal, John, and the Corps. Geoff Johns has helped with the story idea along with Goyer.<\/p>\n

Goyer is no stranger to the comic book movie world having worked on the scripts for the Blade<\/em> trilogy, the Dark Knight<\/em> trilogy, Man of Steel<\/em>, and Batman v Superman<\/em>. This will be the first foray into the comic book world for Rhodes, who previously worked on the script for Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Fantastic Voyage<\/em> remake. The Green Lantern Corps<\/em> has previously been reported to have a release date set for July 24, 2020.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to assume that Ryan Reynolds won\u2019t be back for this film, even though the failure of the 2011 film was not his fault. Tyrese Gibson and Sterling K. Brown have expressed interest in playing the Marine turned Green Lantern<\/a>, John Stewart.<\/p>\n

Who would you like to see cast as Hal Jordan and John Stewart? What other Corps members do you hope to see in the film? Does Goyer\u2019s involvement worry you? Let\u2019s discuss!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
