GREEN LANTERN CORPS (2020): John Stewart To Appear In DC Film

Green Lantern Comic

John Stewart Confirmed For Green Lantern Corps Movie

DC Comics superhero John Stewart has been officially announced as one of the characters to appear in the company’s planned Green Lantern Corps film.

Although the production will mark the introduction of the Green Lantern universe into the DC Expanded Universe, it will not be the first movie to revolve around the property. Warner Bros. previously released a movie that was intended as the start of a franchise starring Ryan Reynolds in the title role in 2011. However, the film proved to be both a critical and financial flop, prompting the studio to cancel their plans for sequels.

As today’s news shows, Warner Bros. is ready to revisit Green Lantern, albeit with some changes. While the earlier film featured the Hal Jordan version of the character, the reboot will follow the adventures of the Stewart incarnation of the hero, who is known as the first African-American superhero in the DC canon.

Comingsoon.net, which reported this story, added that one of the project’s producers said it will not be released until after Justice League 2:

DC Films producer Charles Roven told EW last year that Green Lanterns would not become part of the Extended Universe until 2019’s Justice League 2 at the earliest. “For now, we felt that we were introducing enough characters that the best possible place we could put Green Lantern is some introduction in Justice League 2, or barring that, a movie after,”

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
