Green Lantern Corps Features an Unexpected Earth Lantern?

When Warner Bros. announced their full DC Comics Extended Universe (DCEU) slate, the last movie on their release calendar wasGreen Lantern Corps., which hits theaters July 02, 2025. As of now, the studio hasn’t announced any cast members, a screenwriter or director. But with more than four years left until this movie hits theaters, there is still plenty of time to find the right creative team. That hasn’t stopped a slew of rumors from surfacing, and today we have another unconfirmed report claiming that there will actually be three differentGreen Lanterncharacters in this movie.

There has long been speculation thatGreen Lantern Corps.will feature Hal Jordan and John Stewart from the comics, who are both Earth-bound characters, along with severalGreen Lanternsfrom various parts of the galaxy. Today’s report fromLatino-Reviewclaims there will be another Earth-basedGreen Lantern, Kyle Rayner. This report also claims that the studio is seeking an actor within the same age range ofMatt Damon(45) forHal Jordan, while both John Stewart and Kyle Rayner will be played by younger actors.

Kyle Raynerwas created by writerRon Marzand artistDarryl Banks, and first appeared inGreen Lanternvol. 3, #48 in 1994. He was introduced as part of the “Emerald Twilight” storyline, where Rayner took over theGreen Lanternmantle from Hal Jordan, who was the sole Green Lantern for years until the late 1990s. He later was promoted to the Honor Guard Illustres of the Corps, and eventually became a White Lantern, after mastering all seven of the Lantern rings. Before he acquired aGreen Lantern ring, Rayner was a Los Angeles-based graphic artist, whose father lived a double life as a CIA agent.

Last month, producerCharles Rovenconfirmed that they don’t plan on introducingGreen Lanternuntil at leastJustice League Part 2, which is scheduled for release on June 26, 2025. There is only one movie that debuts betweenJustice League Part 2andGreen Lantern Corps.,Cyborg, which is scheduled for release on June 20, 2025. Production is already under way onJustice League Part 1, which is slated for release on July 06, 2025, but it isn’t known when shooting will begin onJustice League Part 2quite yet.

Actors such asTyrese GibsonandD.B. Woodside(Lucifer) have expressed interest in playing John Stewart inGreen Lantern Corps, but it isn’t known if the studio is actively casting for any of theGreen Lantern Corps.roles. It isn’t even known which of theGreen Lanterncharacters will be introduced first inJustice League Part 2, but it’s possible that the movie could feature all three of the Earth-based characters, Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Kyle Rayner. We’ll have to wait and see. Hopefully we’ll get more details onGreen Lantern Corps.soon, so stay tuned for more details.
