If your heading along to the MCM Expo this year you will be greeted with lots of emeraldy goodness as Green Lantern is front and centre..
MCM Group are delighted to announce that much-anticipated action-adventure Green Lantern will be the official title sponsor of the next MCM Expo, which takes place at ExCel London on 27-29 May.
Now in its tenth year, MCM Expo is London’s comic con, covering movies, comics, games, anime, television and more. The UK’s premier gathering for all things pop culture, the show is the ideal venue to showcase such a highly anticipated movie with roots in comic books.
Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, along with Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard and Mark Strong, and is directed by Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, Casino Royale). The upcoming Warner Bros release, based on the popular and long-running series from DC Comics, is due to hit UK cinemas in June.
As part of MCM Expo, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will also be showcasing the upcoming Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters videogame, due for release on all formats in the summer.
“We are absolutely delighted that Green Lantern is title sponsor of May’s MCM Expo,” commented show co-organiser Bryan Cooney. “If ever a movie was tailor-made to appeal to our 50,000+ visitors it is Green Lantern, so we’re thrilled that the London MCM Expo is to play a key role in Warner Bros.’ launch of the film and videogame.”
It's not clear exactly what will be showcased from the movie but obviously any new footage or trailers will be what most will be hoping for. Provided we won't already have seen them by then of course as the movie itself opens less than a month after the Expo!
