Before i start, i should say for those wondering: Yes, i will be posting more chapters to my MCU but i'm taking a little break to post some other non related fancasts and fanfics i've been working on for a while.

So i started with Green Lantern. This could be seen as a complete reboot to lead to a hopeful Justice League film, but i doubt they're going to recast all the characters. Seeing as most people hated the film though, you never know. I personally don't believe it was Ryan Reynolds fault, he did good with what he had. You can't blame it all on him. Anyways, here is the trilogy outline i'd go with.



Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn

A test pilot is given a powered ring by a dying alien and becomes the first ever human Green Lantern. Along the way of becoming Earth’s protector, he becomes one of the greatest Green Lanterns ever, gaining respect of Sinestro, a leader in the Green Lantern Corps. But his greatest challenge yet comes when Sinestro succumbs to the yellow power of fear and becomes an enemy of the Green Lantern Corps. Hal Jordan is faced with the challenge of becoming fearless to defeat his greatest enemy yet.

Green Lantern II: Empire of Rage

Becoming one of the leaders of the Green Lantern Corps after defeating Sinestro, all is good for Hal Jordan until he is faced with a new enemy. Atrocitus, a man who was forced to watch a member of the rogue Manhunters team kill his wife and daughter, is hell bent on destroying the Guardians of the Universe and all who serve them. Atroticus manages to convince several Green Lanterns to join him, and in the process creates an army of several Green Lanterns and forms an “Empire of Rage ”,using red power rings. Atrocitus is only stopped when Hal Jordan manages to defeat him and his empire.

Note: In the comics, Atrocitus' empire is actually called "Empire of Tears" i just thought that sounded pretty non-intimidating for a super-villain so i renamed it to Empire of Rage, because that is what the Red ring feeds on, and it is more intimidating

Green Lantern III: Brightest Day, Blackest Night

Hal and Carol Ferris have finally found peace and are planning to get married. With his career as a Green Lantern possibly coming to an end, the Guardians choose a backup. US War veteran, John Stewart is chosen by the Guardians to succeed Hal. Meanwhile, a super villain named Mongul, a long time enemy of the Guardians, destroys Coast City, forcing Hal Jordan into madness for not being able to stop him. Jordan kills several Green Lanterns and Guardians, and it is revealed he has been overtaken by Parallax, an alien being who possesses the yellow power of Fear. John Stewart becomes a primary Green Lantern, seeking revenge on Jordan, until he finally decides to spare his life after realizing he and Ferris have are having a baby. Jordan is saved, and is stripped of his ring until further notice, but he seems happy living with his wife. The trilogy ends with Stewart narrating about how he plans to help rebuild Coast City, and restore peace in Oa. He then speaks the Green Lantern oath.

That's the end of the stories. I know usually my stories are longer and MUCH, much more detailed, but i thought i'd just give the general outline.

Onto the cast...

Director: David Yates (Harry Potter 5-8)



Yates has proven himself to be good at fantasy type movies, directing the last four movies of the critically acclaimed Harry Potter franchise.

Jensen Ackles as Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern



Ackles is a fan favourite to cast here. I've seen him cast as so much characters, from Deadpool to Hawkeye to Captain America. Out of all of them, i think it would be best if he was Hal Jordan. He could bring alot to the role and really make it his own.

Evangeline Lilly as Carol Ferris



By no means a groundbreaking pick here, Lilly is the person i think of when it comes to Ferris in a movie. I believe she would own the role.

Omari Hardwick as John Stewart



I loved Hardwick in Kick-Ass, even if he only had a minor role. He proved himself as able to play likable characters. Although a small role, it's what helped me decide to cast him as John Stewart. I believe he would be able to pull of the nice guy, but tough Stewart, and also the tortured soul, as he is a war veteran, and has trouble forgetting the memories of his time overseas.

Gary Oldman as Thaal Sinestro



Oldman is possibly one of the best actors when it comes to playing villains. I originally saw this choice on @MrBlueSky's Green Lantern fancast, and to me it made perfect sense. I know Oldman is already in a DC series (The Dark Knight Trilogy) but who cares? He could be great in the role, maybe even better than Mark Strong?

Kevin Grevioux as Atrocitus



I haven't seen him in all to much, but he had a deep voice and could really give off the menacing and scary attitude you get when seeing Atrocitus, a really badass villain.

Jim Parsons as Tomar-Re (Voice)



Parsons has a voice i can easily imagine as Tomar-Re. He is unbelievably funny in CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" and i'd love to see him in the role.

Dwayne Johnson as Kilowog (Voice)



I really have no problem with MCD in the role, but i figured i'd recast it anyways, and Dwayne Johnson was the obvious person to choose. Although i'd much rather see him in other CBM roles (Black Adam) before this one, it would be pretty cool.

Michael Clarke Duncan as Mongul (Voice)



I know i'm basically contradicting what i just said in my reasoning for Kilowog, and yes, i know he already voices someone in Green Lantern, but he is perfect for intimidating voice roles, such as Mongul.

Peter Woodward as Abin-Sur



Woodward would be perfect for Abin-Sur.

Octavia Spencer as Amanda Waller



After Spencer's breakout role as Minny in "The Help" for which she won an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress, i think it would be cool to see her in a CBM, and Amanda Waller is a role she seems to fit.

Awesome cast, dude!! My only problem is your pick for Hal. Jensen would be good, but I see him more as Guy Gardner. But the rest of this cast is pretty great!! Dwayne Johnson would be awesome as Kilowog (I could never really see him as Black Adam). And thanks mentioning me! Anyway, what are you working on next?

Also, I'll be posting my Fantastic Four cast either this week or next week.

@deadpoolbeatsall - Thanks! Yeah, that would be cool!

@MrBlueSky - Thanks! I'm not actually sure what I'm doing next. I've got a bunch of DC casts and stories but I'm not entirely happy with all of them. I want to do a few more fancasts before going back to my MCU. Got any suggestions/requests? Can't wait to see your F4 cast!

@cardiakid I'd like to see you try your hand at Batman.

@cardiakid You amaze me each time you do a fan cast man, you are really great at this aren't you?

But some of your cast choices I didn't really agree with here, like Jensen Ackles as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, not that I don't think he is a great pick, he is, it is just that I couldn't picture him as Green Lantern but as for who I would cast as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, gotta go with my man Chris Pine as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern

For your Carol Ferris pick, I would definitely go with Mila Kunis because if anything she can act and not only that but if you watch her in Black Swan, trust me man I am telling you she can pull off being Carol

As John Stewart, I would cast Anthony Mackie because if anything no one could picture him as John Stewart but I can, and I think he would do a great job but you choosing Omari Hardwick for the role, again it is an original choice but not who I pictured

As Sinestro, I would go with Jason Isaacs, if anything he would make a great Sinestro because to me Gary Oldman is already a DC Comics character, he's Gordon, so for him to do another DC movie on top of the Batman series, that is why I chose against him even though I really want him for Sinestro

For Tomar-Re, definitely have to go with my man Ewan McGregor

For Kilowog, definitely would go with Ron Perlman for that role, because he would actually be great as Kilowog and I don't know why no one uses Perlman at all, really underrated in my opinion

For Abin'Sur I would pick someone definitely out of the box here, someone like Patrick Stewart or David Bowie as Abin' Sur because I think either one of them could pull it off

And for Amanda Waller, I actually liked Angela Bassett as Amanda Waller, she was perfect in that role even though she had a shit script, so I would bring her back for the reboot

Overall this for me, your fan-cast definite A+ in my book, 90%, not quite 100% but pretty close enough

@ cardiakid, I would like to see you try your hand at a Batman fan cast too, a new Batman trilogy

Or you try your hand with a Flash trilogy, or Aquaman trilogy or a Green Arrow trilogy for DC or a Wonder Woman trilogy

And with your DC fan casts, you can build towards a Justice League movie and build it up similar to The Avengers but with a little twist

@cardiakid, also a great pick for Atrocitus with Kevin Grevioux but again do your DC fan casts to build towards a future Justice League movie fan cast

After watching Green antern the animated series I think Atrocitus would make a really good movie villain. This cast is awesome I love Jensen Ackels as Hal and Oldman is good in any movie he is in. You Atrocitus pick is also awesome. Good stuff.

@MrBlueSky - I actually have had a Batman trilogy in the works for a while, i think i'll edit it some more and then probably post it.

@Shadow11 - Wow thanks man! I almost put Kunis as Ferris, she was awesome in Black Swan. But i thought of a better role to put her in. I think i'll start doing some more DC casts now, maybe i'll put them in a DC Universe.

@SupermanofSteel13 - Thanks! Your praise means a lot!

@Superbatspiderman - Thanks man!

@cardiakid, you had me at Jensen Ackles as Hal Jordan, great fancast. The only one I would change is the choice for Abin Sur, my pick for Abin Sur is Arnold Vosloo. Good actor, voiced Abin Sur on Green Lantern Emerald Knights which he did a good job voicing Abin.

Above that, this is still a great fancast.

AWESOME CAST!

I LOVE Ackles and Lilly in their chosen roles!
Just amazing!

@Chasenrises17 – Yeah I noticed that. That’s because I’m used to typing on Microsoft Word where it automatically corrects it to uppercase, so I forgot to press the shift button I guess. Any comments about the actual cast though?

@Starkiller21 – Thanks man!

@Superbat77 – Yeah you’re totally right! Never noticed that before, wow! Cool!

@Tweeeeenkies3 – Thanks man! Yeah, she is good for the role!
