I thought they wanted to distance themselves from the GL movie? He probably wouldn't do it anyways, unless DP2 sucks ass.
>>
>>89321455
I agree for these reasons.

1. No reason he can't be Deadpool and Green Lantern
2. Movie was highly underrated
3. It would mean Mark Strong comes back as Sinestro
4. Ryan and Blake met and fell in love filming the movie

When you want Reynolds, but can't afford him.

if he is, Carol will cuck him with Kyle
it's almost guaranteed

What if they signed Blake as Carol and cornered Ryan into coming back.

Man of Steel, Batman vs. Superman, and Suicide Squad makes the GL movie look like Citizen Kane.

Why? Why another old white guy who's as exciting as white bread?

Why not Alan Scott with the Starheart or John Stewart so that the token darkie isn't half-covered in robot parts? Stewart is just as handicapped as Cyborg is too.
>>
>>89321756
If Armie Hammer doesn't get this, it will be at least the third time he got close to playing a major DC character and didn't.

If you knew shit about the movie, you'd know it's about Hal AND John.

Why those two? Why not Hal and Kilowog or better yet Sinestro and Hal?

Make it so that Sinestro's betrayal actually FEELS like a betrayal, and not obvious.
>>
>>89321376

Wasn't this guy Cyke? So he might play not one but TWO live-action comic book cuckolds?
>>
>>89321376
Man he's slimmed down.
>>
>>89321804
I know he was going to be Batman. What was the other?
Hammer has been teasing the shit out of people on twitter about it and I liked him and Cavill together in Man from UNCLE so I hope he gets to be Hal.
>>
Am I alone in thinking Reynolds was a bad cast as Hal? He just doesn't suit the version of Hal I have in my head.
>>
>>89321890
I heard rumors that Kilowog and Guy may be inclued too. If they do put Kilowog in, I'd support bringing in Kevin Michael Richardson from the animated series or Kevin Grevioux. And for Guy? Pratt would have been perfect. MCU Star-Lord pretty much is Guy. Maybe Zac Efron?
>>
>>89322018
Batman in Miller's JL and he got close for Snyder's too I believe.
>>
>>89322033
>Guy Gardener
So this has to take place several years after Hal first joined the Corps, so it won't be an origin story at all?

Hal is not a cuckold though.

i'm okay with marsden. reynolds i don' think that's serious. tom cruise, why? armie hammer, meh? he's ok, but he doesn't seem right. Gyllenhaal, Cooper...why? because they think it will get women to go. McHale?? was he hiding under the desk at a casting meeting and when it got quiet he kinda whispered his name and someone says "...what about joel mchhale?"
>>
>>89322377
>tom cruise, why?
To fit into a more experienced Hal training a fresh John Stewart. He wouldn't be the worst cast, really.

Make it a buddy cop movie, Hal teaching John. Villain is Atrocitus, he activates the Manhunters to destroy Oa, survives the end to form Red Lantern Corp. Hal passes sector responiblities to Stewart, Hal is free to join the JL. Sequel is Sinestro Corps War. BOOM. Wheres my fucking check?

Honestly, with Flash and Aquaman and Shazam delayed, and Harley and Her Amazing Girlfriends pushed up front, I can see this year being the last hurrah for the JL, and a Detective Comics Extended Universe centered on Gotham.

If Wonder Woman is woeful and JL makes Suicide Squad money, I would bet on it.

Recast Batman, reboot with a Gotham centric series of films, a new Bat Trilogy and see where Harley and Joker go from here.

The single biggest problem with GL movies is that the "good" arcs are long-term payoffs of reading through mountains of pretty terrible GL comic books. His old villains are "evil dude with a ring too" and yellow people.

Normies aren't going to digest enough lore to make stuff like the Sinestro Corps war or the rest meaningful. In the Silver Age you've got the Manhunters and a lot of crap even comic fans who aren't devotees of Green Lantern haven't heard of.
Modern Green Lantern is rainbow corps shenanigans and their space creature patrons.

We've had Parallax and Hector. What's that leave, Tattooed Man? Goldface?

Meh.

That's my point, you didn't like their last effort either, and they put a lot of their best stuff in that film, a couple of good villain portrayals and a truly bad one.

Assuming this retry gets made, the priorities will be 1. The villains, 2. the cool Special Effects 3. Finding some poor handsome desperate bastard who's willing to try playing Hal again.

You're just completely ignoring the Bronze Age and the Dark Age, where all the really great GL stuff is at.

Dr. Polaris would be a great villain for a film (I'd love to see Hal beat the shit out of a Polar Bear in live action, especially). Goldface, who you dismissed, would be pretty awesome too, as a crimelord set up over time. Or you could use Johns' reboot of the Shark, and mix-up Jaws with superhero movies. You could use Sonar, whose terrorism would be especially relevant nowadays..

And that's just Earth-based stuff. There's a whole cosmos of potential there.

And one could always just adapt Hard-Travelling Heroes. You can't go wrong with Hal and Ollie on a road trip.

>And one could always just adapt Hard-Travelling Heroes. You can't go wrong with Hal and Ollie on a road trip.

That's the secret to writing Hal Jordan: He ALWAYS needs another hero to play off. On his own he's kinda dopey but mostly generic so you need someone who's extreme in the other direction to really bring out the other elements of his character.
