Last week, we learned that Finn Wittrock will play Guy Gardner in the Green Lantern TV series coming to HBO Max. Despite being far from the most popular human Lantern, it's a stellar casting decision, while the plan to explore Alan Scott's story in a period setting is also undeniably intriguing.
However, many fans were disappointed by the fact that John Stewart is being overlooked in the show. Most of us expected him to be the lead, especially after Zack Snyder was forced to remove his version of the fan-favourite hero from the Snyder Cut of Justice League. Well, if a new report from Heroic Hollywood is to be believed, it's because there are big screen plans for John.
"An insider with knowledge on the project tells Heroic Hollywood that a Green Lantern Corps film is still in development with John Stewart as the lead," the site reports. "Hal Jordan will also appear in the film in a mentor capacity. The film was initially being developed and written by Geoff Johns but it is unclear if he’s still attached."
We still don't know how Green Lantern Corps and Green Lantern will link up, but it's entirely possible they won't based on how Warner Bros. have handled their DC TV shows in the past.
Then again, with Peacemaker tying into The Suicide Squad and a spinoff for The Batman in the works for HBO Max, Green Lantern could reveal our first look at how the world of the Corps will be portrayed on screen moving forward. We just have to hope they don't end up in CGI costumes...
