Some more Green Lantern news has trickled through, this time in the form of a poster which Collider spotted and snapped at Comic Con. This teaser banner (which you can see below) doesn’t really offer much more on what we’ve already seen, but with the tantalising tagline ‘The Ring Has Chosen’ at the top of the image, it’s definitely whetted my appetite further!
Apart from its two big hitters, Batman and Superman, we’ve seen little to nothing of the DC universe on screen (let’s forget Catwomen happened, shall we?) I’m glad they’ve chosen the epic story of Green Lantern as a starting point to expand their film output. It’s the perfect choice for a big, summer popcorn fantasy adventure film.
Due for release next June, the film stars Ryan Reynolds in the title role with Martin Campbell on board as direction – a solid choice to deliver this film, as he was the guy who brought Zorro to a contemporary audience and also re-invigorated the Bond franchise, twice! (GoldenEye and Casino Royale)
The cast also features Blake Lively (TV’s Gossip Girl) as Reynolds love interest, alongside Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett and Tim Robbins.
