Each sector has two guardians assigned to its cause, protecting the sector against intergalactic threats, instating the lanterns to around 3 Billion years old. According to DC mythology, the entire universe, even the farthest reaches of it are comprised of 3600 sectors, Earth being Sector 2814. This directly implies that there would have been remarkably less Earth, and remarkably more space, including visuals of the planet of the guardians, Oa, responsible for the commissioning of the guardians. While uncertainties still prevail, there are a number of details about the possible plot that we have from when the film was in active development.Īs the name suggests, rather than serving as an origin story for Hal Jordan, the film was intended to focus on the entire team of intergalactic defenders named the Green Lantern Corps, of which Hal Jordan is a part, in charge of protecting the sector in which Earth falls. The slate of releases has significantly changed to say the least since ‘ Justice League’ derailed, and the brunt of it was borne by virtually all films scheduled post it. In an attempt to distance themselves as much as possible from the 2011 film, DC announced a ‘Green Lantern Corps’ film instead of a singular, direct reboot, back when things were looking good and promising for the newly set up cinematic universe.

Alas, even DC’s current reboot stands in a state of stasis and the earlier 2020 scheduled ‘Green Lantern Corps’ seems nowhere close to happening. DC now has its own extended cinematic universe, giving them the perfect opportunity to now introduce the character in a new light suitable for this universe, and a new actor to the helm, seeing as even though Reynolds was perfect for the part, he definitely won’t be around to play the lantern again. The audience reviews have been kinder in retrospect as the movie aged, but we are far out from that shore now. The greatest recent slump in the same arena that I am aware of resulted from the pitfall of 2011’s awful studio camp ‘Green Lantern’, that almost anybody involved with in any capacity has disowned, some more vocal than others. Goes to show how much the studios (looking at you specifically, WB and Sony) care about actually telling good stories and characters with heart. When such a film fails, the superhero property has to inadvertently go under for a long hibernation before the bad aftertaste of the last film is forgotten, and the studio can then prep for a successful reboot to get the cash rolling in again, this time in inflation-adjusted figures. Notably so, the only properties Marvel has actually seen a slump with are the Fantastic Four, and those de facto were not being handled by the MCU.
