The Green Lantern 2
As we all know the Green Lantern Movie from 2011 was absolutely terrible. I have adopted a policy of pretending that it didn’t happen:
“Did you see the green lantern?”
“No, that hasn’t been made into a film yet”
“Yes it has, the one with Ryan Reynolds”
“No he definitely doesn’t exist”
I wanted to find a way to make a good Green Lantern Movie without completely rebooting. My decision was to do this by replacing Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) with Guy Gardner.
Green Lantern/ Guy Gardner – Colton Haynes
Green Lantern/Hal Jordan – Ryan Reynolds
Young Guy Gardner - David Mazouz
Roland Gardner – Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Mace Gardner – James Franco
Tomar-Re – David Tennant
Kilowog – Manu Bennett
Atrocitus – Dolph Lundgren
Vice – Gerard Butler
Bleez – Megan Fox
Begins with a dream of Guy’s youth, his dad comes home drunk and beats him and he goes to bed and cries. The next morning his dad heads up to his room drunk and Guy runs away from home. He wakes up and is lying in an ally with a bottle of scotch. Montage of him stealing, getting into fights and sleeping on the streets. Cut to Hal Jordan in front of the Guardians being kicked out of the Corps for killing Sinestro when he went rogue. His ring is taken away and given to Tomar-Re to find Guy with. Guy is robbing a shop when he is stopped by a policeman his brother who talks to him and gives him money so he stays away from crime. Days later Guy sees his brother has been arrested for being a dirty cop in the paper, then after a few days is killed by a fellow inmate. When at home mourning his brother’s death Tomar-Re finds him and gives him the ring. Guy takes the ring but refuses to join the corps and instead begins fighting crime and helping people. He runs into Vice and is nearly killed by him so calls Tomar-Re for help and he arrives with Kilawog. They work out that the red lanterns plan to attack at the swearing in of the new president so go to stop them. After a battle they win and save the people there. Guy joins the corps but is still reluctant to comply with all the rules. At the end Martian Manhunter finds him and asks him to join a team he is putting together.
