Justice Leaguehits theaters in exactly a month and, while the trailers have shown us quite a bit of action, it’s clear that the movie is going to feature a lot of surprises. That’s great, considering that so many trailers tend to ruin movies these days. However, it looks like a pretty majorJustice Leaguecameo may have just been ruined byThe Big Bang Theory, of all things.
The Big Bang Theoryis currently holding a contest branded as theBig Bang Justice League Geekstakes, which is actually well worth entering, if you’re aJustice Leaguefan. The prizes include $500 a day, a hometown screening ofJustice Leaguefor 100 friends, and a trip for two to the Justice League premiere. So far so good. It’s after you enter the contest where things get interesting. Those who enter are asked to spin a wheel to unlock aJustice League-themed clip from old episodes of the show. The wheel includes logos for all seven members of the team, including Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, Superman and, that’s right,Green Lantern.
In the earliest days of the marketing forJustice League, director Zack Snyder shared an image of Jason Momoa as Aquaman that says, “unite the seven.” However, even when we count Superman, who is eventually going to come back from the dead, that still only makes six. Green Lantern is seven. But the trailers haven’t made any mention of him, save forSteppenwolfsaying that Earth has “no Lanterns” in theJustice Leaguetrailer. So this little bit of promotion could have spoiled a pretty huge cameo, since no actor has been officially announced as Green Lantern yet and he’s not officially been confirmed to be in the movie.
It’s entirely possible that we’re reading a bit too much into this, but it is at least a little suspicious that something officially tied to theJustice Leaguemarketing features Green Lantern in any capacity. Granted, hardcore fans have likely heard about this rumored cameo for months, as various reports have claimed that a member of theGreen Lantern Corps., possibly not evenHal Jordan or John Stewart, is going to appear in the movie. But more casual fans likely would have been pretty surprised by the cameo.
This is still far from confirmed, but this does add a lot more fuel to the fire that we’re going to see a member of theGreen Lantern Corps.appear, at some point, inJustice League. Spoiled or not, we’re not going to have to wait too much longer to see the possible cameo, asJustice Leaguearrives in theaters on November 17. If you’re not to mad about the spoiler, you can also enter theBig Bang Justice League Geekstakes, if you feel so inclined. You can check out the spin wheel that contains the potential Green Lantern confirmation for yourself below.
