The Official Green Lantern Rumors/Speculation Thread - Part 1

[Spider-Fan]

I know Johns prior said this would be a reimagining, but have they outright stated that the 2011 film is out of continuity entirely? Or is it just expected?

 

[David H.]

I don’t think they remember the 2011 movie exists.

 

[Spider-Fan]

LOL! Probably true. I am just curious. GL was a pretty bad movie, but it did get the origin out of the way and introduced the basic concepts at least.

 

[Greenlite]

Unless they get Ryan back

 

[TheVileOne]

Unless they get Ryan back

The Marvel Netflix shows have better chances at getting revived.

They can't. Wade killed that character.

but Wolverine and his bro killed Wade, together

=P

Uhh… different Wade.

Forget the origin and just drop us into the daily life of a space cop. They can easily do origin shenanigans in flashbacks and such. I hope WB lands a director soon because it looks like we won’t be seeing this movie until well into the 2020s

I'd rather them kill two birds with one stone here. Have Hal Jordan as the already established Lantern, with John Stewart and/or Jessica Cruz as the recruit; you can still have flashbacks for Hal showing how he overcame some of his struggles and how he uses those experiences to help the new recruit.

So SS2 is delayed because Margot Robbie and Will Smith aren't available? Okay, replace their characters. Deadshot wasn't remotely a highlight in the first film, and the Harley Quinn character can be utilised in the Gotham-focused films. Suicide Squad 2 can be something different with an entirely new ensemble (maybe maintain Flagg & Kitana?); I don't see why we need to wait on Smith & Robbie.

Smith is a big star, and Robbie was the most popular part of the first film.
I can understand why the studio thinks it needs to rely on them.
I think they'd need to get another big name actor as a new character.

People have been more successful with less. I know SS wasn't quite the success that DC/WB may have wanted, but they shouldn't be reliant on Smith & Robbie to ensure a successful sequel.

They're going to have a different director for SS2, and likely a different theme and feel. They'd be wise to at least consider a new team.

we're getting Bautista, lol.

new discussions =P

 

[Rorschach2012]

How can you not use Will Smith’s Deadshot? Will is consistently solid in all his roles.

If Bautista isn’t Bane, we riot

 

[frankgutz]

we're getting Bautista, lol.

Having Waller pushing this makes sense tbh, wasnt expecting other thing

 

[mclay18]

I think Captain Marvel will light a fire under WB to get GLC on the fast track. It might encourage the directors who initially passed to take another look.

 

[Greenlite]

I know everyone hates Mark but this is his reply to me

 

[MbJ]

 

[Rorschach2012]

Holy ****. God I hope this happens.

McQuarrie has signed on to write and direct two more MI films for Paramount, which are slated for summer 2021 and 2022 releases. A DC project isn't a priority for him now.

I wouldn't be opposed if he did a rewrite on GLC to help lure potential directors on, but right now he's starting preliminary work on the MI scripts.

That’d be last years sheet I guess, I heard WB went around in the last two months and nobody wanted to do it.

This guy on the research team for WB test screenings said that Johns told Wan in the meeting he was present to keep all of Black Manta and because he loves him,. Lol. That would be post production so I guess 2018 after he got demoted? So if Johns wants GL we might still get it.....

 

[Silvermoth]

Oh that could be cool. Apparently they’re looking at Zac Efron to Star too although I found that guys leaks on twitter hard to read

 

[TheVileOne]

What about Henry Cavill starring after he's done with The Witcher?
