Justice League Green Lantern Won't Be Hal Jordan or John Stewart?

Justice League, good or bad, is going to be an absolutely monumental movie. This will be the first time in history that the seven members of the DC Comics superhero team will unite on screen in live-action together. For those who may be doing the math, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman makes six, but the would-be seventh member Green Lantern has not been anywhere in the marketing for theJustice Leaguemovie. However, it looks like a member of theGreen Lantern Corps.may, in fact, be appearing, which will complete the lineup and “unite the seven.”

Film reporterUmberto Gonzalezrecently did a live Q&A onPeriscopeand was discussing all things related to the DC Extended Universe. During the course of the Q&A, the subject of Green Lantern came up and he prefaced that what he is hearing should be taken as rumor, but according to his sources, a member of theGreen Lantern Corps.will be appearing in the movie. Just don’t expect it to be one of the more famous members like Hal Jordan orJohn Stewart, who are expected to headline theGreen Lantern Corps.movie. He teased that the Green Lantern inJustice Leaguewill have a “funny sounding name” and beyond that, he only ruled out Kilowog.

Since there are tons of different members of theGreen Lantern Corps.in theDC Comics universeand since many of them have “funny sounding” names, that doesn’t narrow it down all that much.Umberto Gonzalezdid add that, if Warner Bros. does wind up casting their Hal Jordan or John Stewart beforeJustice Leaguehits theaters that the actor or actors could still be added to the movie at least for a cameo, but that was speculative on his end. This gels with a report from The Wrap (also fromUmberto Gonzalez) that claimed “A member of the Green Lantern Corps. will be seen in Justice League in a key sequence.”

“Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team ofmetahumansto stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes-Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash-it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.”

It makes total sense that Warner Bros. would at least want to lay some groundwork forGreen Lantern Corps.inJustice League, even though the movie isn’t likely to come out until 2020. The studio recently brought on writersDavid S. Goyer(Man of Steel) andJustin Rhodes(Contract Killers) to write the script forGreen Lantern Corps.There was also a rumored shortlist of names for the part ofHal Jordanthat includedBradley Cooper,Armie Hammer,Jake Gyllenhaal,Joel McHale,Tom Cruiseand most surprisingly,Ryan Reynolds, who played the part in the failed 2011Green Lanternmovie.

Justice Leaguefeatures a cast led byBen Affleckas Batman,Henry Cavillas Superman,Gal Gadotas Wonder Woman,Jason Momoaas Aquaman,Ezra Milleras The Flash andRay Fisheras Cyborg. If we’re lucky and this rumor turns out to be true, we will also be seeing a mystery Green Lantern in the movie as well.Justice Leagueis directed byZack Snyderand is set for release on November 17.
