DC and Warner Bros. are moving full steam ahead with their planned Green Lantern Corps film.
Deadline reports that Batman Begins, Man of Steel, and Batman v Superman scribe David Goyer is penning the script along with Justin Rhodes (Grassroots, Contract Killers). Goyer is also producing the film with DC head Geoff Johns executive-producing. Goyer and Johns conceived the story together.
Green Lantern Corps is described as "Lethal Weapon in space" and will be an origins story of sorts. It follows both Hal Jordan and John Stewart, and focuses on former Marine sniper Stewart's relationship with Jordan and the Lantern Crops. The film doesn't have a director yet, though Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller was linked to the project earlier this year, and there are currently no actors attached to play either of the two leads.
Ryan Reynolds portrayed Hal Jordan in the 2011 Green Lantern movie. It's not known whether Warner Bros. would consider casting Reynolds as the superhero again following the actor's success with Deadpool.
Rumors were circulating back in 2015 that Chris Pine was originally up for the role of Hal Jordan, but the actor has since joined Wonder Woman as Steve Trevor. Tyrese Gibson, who plays Roman Pearce in the Fast & Furious franchise, also confirmed in 2015 that he met with Warner Bros. for a possible role in the film.
Green Lantern Corps, which still has a 2020 release date, was first announced at Comic-Con 2015, and Justice League: Part One, which hits theaters November 17, 2017, will reportedly feature a Lantern Corps member in some capacity.
