WhenBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicehits theaters next month, it will also introduce fans to the rest of theJustice Leaguebefore they come together inJustice League Part 1andJustice League Part 2in the next few years. We know that Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) will join forces withAquaman(Jason Momoa),The Flash(Ezra Miller) andCyborg(Ray Fisher), but there is one more character who has yet to be cast,Green Lantern.Green Lantern Corps.doesn’t come out until 2020, so it isn’t surprising that this character’s casting hasn’t been announced yet, but if a new report fromPop Sugaris true, then it seems we may have our newGreen Lanternafter all.
The site interviewedBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeactorDan Amboyer, whose character has yet to be revealed at this time. While he doesn’t spill the beans during this interview, the actor is listed onBatman v Superman’s IMDB page as a Drone Pilot. This new report claims his name is Lieutenant Christie. While he didn’t offer any specifics about the character, he did share his experiences on the set, which took place towards the beginning of principal photography.
“It was awesome. I got there right at the beginning of shooting and it was crazy because my first day people were showing me around and all of a sudden theSupermansuit comes by - and it’s giant. It’s not something you can hang up. So that was insane. But what I thought was really interesting was that they filmed a lot of it on film, not digital. So a lot of the sets were actually built. So, all of a sudden, you’re on another planet, literally. Everything is so intricate and perfect. You think so much of that is just CGI and post-production, but it was actually there.”
So, we know the actor shot scenes on another planet. Which is clue number one that he might be a Green Lantern. He did add that his name Lt. Christie had an “undercover aspect” to it, meaning it could be hiding his character’s true identity, possible Hal Jordan. In another intriguing part of the interview, the actor admitted that his favorite color is blue, before adding, “I appreciate nature as well and everything green.” He wouldn’t address any speculation that his character may appear in future movies, but even if he is Hal Jordan, there is another thing to take into consideration.
Back in December, a report surfaced thatGreen Lantern Corps.will feature bothHal Jordan and John Stewart, but it isn’t known if both characters will surface inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Warner Bros.' plan has always been to feature at least two humanGreen Lanternsin their reboot. But nothing has ever been confirmed by the studio. And they were fairly quiet in announcing that it would even be calledGreen Lantern Corps., a title that hints at multiple lead characters.
It’s also worth noting that, last year,Tyrese Gibsonwas heavily campaigning for the John Stewart role, even teasing that he took a meeting with Warner Bros. about playing the character. Do you thinkDan Amboyercould be playing Hal Jordan in thissuperherouniverse? Chime in with your thoughts below, and visitPop Sugarto read the actor’s full interview.
