The Official Green Lantern Rumors/Speculation Thread

[Loden Greatstorm]

Didn't the trades also report Asa Butterfield was king to be the next Spider-man?

Didn't the trades also report Asa Butterfield was king to be the next Spider-man?

They also said Will Smith was up for Boomerang and he ended up being Deadshot,

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I don't remember the trades confirming that Butterfield landed the role. I remember them saying he was a contender and a frontrunner but I don't recall one trade saying that he has been confirmed to be the next Spider-Man. If somebody can post proof that Variety and THR said that he had the role I will gladly accept that.

Also there is a different between getting the character wrong and getting which film an actor is going to play in wrong. Will Smith is indeed in Suicide Squad and JGL was in TDKR.

I'm not saying that those trades don't get things wrong because that would be a lie.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I SEE SPIDEY, who do you think will end up being Hal?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I have no idea. I'll say this much, I'll be happy with Pine as either Trevor or Hal.

I'm not holding my breath but it would be fun if they revealed the actor this weekend on stage.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I think I remember someone reporting that Butterfield had landed the role, but whether it was one of the big name trades, I'm not sure.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

It was El Maybe. Sigh.

I just looked back on my twitter and writers for THR and Variety respectively denied that he had been cast.

El Mayimbe's track record is decent enough, but he's had lots of hiccups as well. He was the one that started the Chris Pine as Hal thing, that's why I took it with a grain of salt.

I see where you are coming from. Hopefully we will find out soon.

Well, I hope the rumors turn out to be true. It's just that thus far I'm completely disgusted by WB's treatment of Hal Jordan, so I'm not sure if they even know how to treat him right.

Agreed.

 

[Superhero 101]

I am kind of bummed that WB/DC didn't announce GL actor

 

[Johnny]

At least now we know officially about GLC. That was the most logical way to go.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Corps is great, as everyone can get what they want. It is fits the tone. GL is definitely a team book imo.

 

[Rorschach2012]

It's going to be Tyrese and Chris Pine

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

So was Pine confirmed today or not?

 

[Johnny]

There was no casting news.

There was no casting news.

I hope we get some soon.

I just had a crazy idea for Kilowog...

I know he's suggested for damn near every CBM role possible, but I think this would work well.

 

[WinterAssassinR]

In the concept art, Hal looks like a bearded Chris Pine. I also spot maybe Kyle Rayner.

 

[Johnny]

Hopefully they don't give Hal a beard in the movies. If he plays the role of the veteran GL, fine. But I prefer clean cut looking Hal Jordan.

For sure. Also can we get a forum name change since we know the film title now.

Hal with long hair and a beard would be epic.

Would anyone be opposed to the Guardians of the Universe being played by actors in blue makeup and minor CG adjustments, rather than being completely CG?

I wouldn't be opposed at all. Much like the GL uniform, it's a good strategy to do only what is necessary with CGI. WB didn't need to make the GotU as costly as they did last time.
