FAN CAST: Green Lantern Corps by BLACKREVEREND

Everybody is looking forward to the upcoming blockbuster Green Lantern, but has anyone bothered to imagine the sequels?

Doing a Fan Cast at a time like this is risky to say the least but I hope this will be one of the better examples of how it should be done... Not that I have tons of experience. No I'm just a Comic Book Movie Junkie. So now that that's said, let's begin...




Maybe I'm the only one but all this excitement about a Green Lantern Movie is driving me mad with curiosity and imagination. Characters are already cast, filming has begun so now we just sit and wait? At this point, I already expect the movie to be great when it comes out. But I can't imagine it being a "standalone"... Will it be a trilogy?

Well this is the idea that's been floating in the back of my mind. What if each story lead into another movie based on the next Green Lantern. It's been done with novels before. A character in the supporting cast becomes the main character in the sequel. For example, this movie could end up with the Guardians of the Universe deciding they need to elect, summon or choose another human lantern. So the first movie would be about Hal Jordan, the second about Guy Gardner, the third about John Stewart, the fourth about Kyle Rayner and the last movie would be about the whole corps... Five movies in total. If DC doesn't do anything stupid, this should easy.


That being said let's look at my dream cast for the fifth installment, a Green Lantern Corps Movie. For some reason I felt the need to create a very multicultural cast... Hope you like.




Ryan Reynold is a great actor... I can't wait for a movie trailer.

He's already been cast from the moment DC first announced a Justice League Film.

A fan favorite for even Hal... No going wrong here.

He looks the part and can act it. There are other options for this character but I haven't seen Jr. in a while.


Not only is she hot but from what I've seen of her on Smallville, she ain't that bad of a actor either.

Tinsel was recently in New Moon as the fiancee to Captain Wolfpack...

Chyler shouldn't be a complete stranger to most of you. A little make up and she'll do great.


The Prophesied one... I don't expect you guys to recognize Akshay Kumar but he's a huge Bollywood/Hindi movie star. At this point, I don't remember how a Quebecois, black Jamaican got into Hindi films but whether you can understand the language or not (I read the subtitles), they have an incredibly strong film industry.

The violent soldier with a green ring. For those of you who don't know Manu Bennett, he's a co-star on the new Spartacus series and has a pretty decent resume.


Let CGI Reign!!!(Voice Actors)



Everyone should know by now how much I hate overusing actors but can you really think of anyone else to fill this gap?

Eddie Murphy, doesn't necessarily have to play a funny character but the point is, it will work.

A WOMAN!!! Yes Pamela is one of the greatest voice actors right now. She does Bobby on King of The Hill.

And finally, I tried finding the actor that did him in the animated movie and came out blank. It was probably someone playing more than one role.



As you can see, I didn't cast any villains. I leave that up to you. Please tell me what you think of my unique approach towards a Green Lantern Collection. Do you think it could work? I do if it's written properly...

To be honest, I'm not a big DC fan (I only really read Marvel comics) but this is a great cast! All quality actors who I'd me more than happy to see in a movie with these characters! Great cast man! :)

Especially Eddie Murphy-- I never would have seen it but he would be primo in that part!

Alright maybe I'm not that bad at this after all!!!

@ TANKGIRL - Blake could definitely own the part but I find she's big enough of a star as it is. So I'd rather give Christina a shot...

@ LEEE777 - I think I did... Can't remember, I've seen too much.

@ JOSHW - Marvel fan huh? Believe it or not I'm more Marvel than DC too but I try to get the best of both worlds. I've got an Annihilation Cast coming soon. I bet you'll dig that.

@ TEABAG - The movie Doesn't make the actor it's the other way around...

@ STATECHAMP00 - See a comment like yours makes my research almost feel worthwhile. Thanx

My ultimate goal is to get on everyones much watch list. I'm not an aspiring writer but I am an aspiring artist that just happens to have too much imagination and an addiction to visual storytelling.

I just want to start with the positives
Your layout is perfect nice and clean very good
I like how you start with your idea of recruiting a new lantern to be the main character in sequels to follow
I like the cast you chose for each character they seem well though out by you
The negatives not to bad though
I wish you would have went a little deeper with your opening idea I think your on to something
I,m with Teabag you lost some street cred as soon as you mention Twilight LOL.
And this one is not just you it seems more casters are getting away from posting more indepth character bios and actor bios especially from the ones you think people don,t know of
IE Akshay Kumar I,ve never heard of this guy he may be a good unknown but you have not listed the names of movies he,s been in for everyone to go see for themselves.I don,t care if he,s only on bollywood if he,s good he,s good but we can,t find out

Overall Dude your definately on the right track I just want fan casters to post things that really generate some good conversations like the good ole days of fanfic.
Not just the drive by good cast well done and leave.
which in fact you deserve by the way "good cast"

Your the first fan caster i,ve left this message for cause i really like what you've done here your on to something good I just want to see someone generate some good conversations from there fics

Hope I am not being to hard on you I can tell the efort you put into this and I recall you said that you have posted fanfics before over in my editorial.
Just try and remember some of the things Shaman, TheMyth and TheHawk use to do to generate conversation.
Shaman could take a one person fancast and generate 200 comments easy and that is cause he not only did what you have done here but he would go that extra mile and gie you every detail he could think of why he thought that actor was right for the part.
He either got lots of love for his work or sometimes some hate but always good conversations came from it.

I hope this helps you for your next fancast cause I want to see more casts from you perhaps try this with the villians to this cast.

I like it dude

The pictures are well done as well as the cast

You forgot Abin Sur and Tomar-Re though, but thats no big deal.

@ SCARFACE - thanx for the encouragements and pointers. I'm glad my concept is getting some feedback. It could be totally unique and revolutionary for DC if they took that approach. As for Akshay Kumar, I get your point... He's played in Blue(2009) a personal favorite and Tashan(2008). He's done a lot more movies than that but those are the easiest to find.

@ BATMANKNIGHT - Abin Sur is dead... Remember this is cast for a GL Corps story not a tale of it's origin.

@ TEABAG - Actually Ima blame it on the writers.

@ PETERPARKER & GAMBIT - Much Love

See thats what i,m talkin about you just gave more validation to your pick by saying that to me.
I also noticed you said your an aspiring artest hit me dude i,d love to see your take on one of your fanfics in hero uniform.
I really do think your very close to putting yourself as you said on the most watched list just these little extra things could help.
And your definately not part of the problem with fanfic but you could be a huge part to the solution.

Great cast!

Nice Layout! You put some work into this and it shows!

You're a little skimpy on some of the info but job
excellently done on the design and lettering!

I don't blame the actors for Twish!t! The woman who
wrote these stories is a dimwit and an imbecile!!!
The scriptwriters have done nothing to improve upon
it either! But what can ya do with such drivel as
Twish!t!!!

@ SCARFACE - Drawing the actors as the characters? I've got some coming but that's actually a lot more time consuming than you think. I'm consider myself ready for the comic industry but I start my bachelors in Animation (at Sheridan) in September and I'm not sure if I'll be able to balance homework and deadlines so I'm kinda laying low. I'll post some more art up eventually but until then eat your heart out here...

@ DDD - Thanx for taking my back... I totally blame the writers too.

More Info... I'll work on that.

I like the cast just get funny man Eddie Murphy clear
of this casting or anyother CBM casting .unless it's for Roger the Rabbit,Bugs Bunny,or something silly like that he doesnt belong near anything super or action driven.

The design of your casting is diffrent I like it and Im flowing with your info you seem to be up on your lantern knowledge(HAVENT HEARD OF ALOT OF THE CHARACTERS YOU CASTED) and that's cool ....GOOD JOB.

Blackreverend: not sure what you mean about me getting the last word? I just like to keep people like yourself
on their toes so to speak....you spit out some good info
and I like your style. Your right there ever so close to turning the corner...LOL. Anyway keep up the GOOD casting just lay out a little more actor/character info with those wicked pics and I got your back... OH YEA!!
