Temuera Morrison Talks Green Lantern

Temuera Morrison Talks Green Lantern

While out promoting the 30th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back at Walt Disney World, the actor shared info on his next iconic role.

If you are not already familiar; Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett from Star Wars) will be playing the role of Abin Sur who gives his ring to Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) becoming the next Green Lantern. Speculation is that the powerful scene will be the one shown at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego. Latino Review recently caught up with actor and got to ask a few questions. His first response was “Yeah I’m done filming” which only helps strengthen that theory.






Temuera was gracious enough to show the reporter his Abin Sur character fully done from his cell phone. LR says it looks exactly like the concept art as shown here.

“That took about 4-5 hours to put on, it was all prosthetic.”

On working with Ryan Reynolds:

“We did the whole scene together were I give him the ring, our suits are CGI so we had these grey suits with things on them so it was cool...”

It also sounds like Abin Sur's back story will be part of the planned sequels as well:

“You know there are making sequels right?” Morrison said. “They want me to come back in the sequel. They want to show you my backend story for the next movie. They want to show you how I become part of Green Lantern Corps.”


DogsOfWar-I find it very good news that they are going with prosthetics for the facial features and not full blown CGI like the costumes.

Not thrilled with his casting as Abin Sur, but hey, he won't be in the film for long anyway. Looking forward to seeing that scene.

Great find DOGS! :)

I'm not sure that Green Lantern is going to appeal to me though - I love the classic Star Wars movies and Abrams new Star Trek was one of the best film's I've seen but there's nothing about GL that has me in the least bit excited! ;( A mediocre cast, cheesy looking characters...maybe it's because I'm not a fan of the his comic books but I think I'll spend the money on seeing Thor twice rather than this! :P

yeah, I'd say a "claim to fame" would be the role they were seen in by the most people. That would be star wars by far.

@magic8

Once Were Warriors was a good movie i remember seen that movie in the UK. but yeah his actually "claim to fame" by the general people around the world was Star Wars. "Once Were Warriors" was not a famous movie international people know him more from starring in Star Wars.

Pic looks great. If all of the other aliens look this good, I think we are in for a real treat with this flick. As long as the CG suits and ring constructs don't look cheesy. But a good start!

@InterestingJohn-Well said about the flashbacks. They would certainly include him going back and would be a great dramatic device.

I hope it's a good scene like in the New Frontier. For some reason the short dialogue between Sur and Jordan was my favorite part.

Looks awesome! Can't wait for this flick. GL has been one of my fav DC characters him and Swamp Thing. I love Hal Jordan! I really want to see Guy Gardner in the next flick. I like Jon Stewart as well. To me His best story was in the Cosmic Odyssey mini-series. Well anyway this movie is gonna be awesome. You know I've said it before....
