*False.

In one word, The terse but firm response from the new DC boss clarified the future of the popular comic book character. We knew in October of this year that everything that had been left over from the series since 2019 has gone out the same door that Gunn and Peter Safran have entered.

The beginning of this new era brings with it, as we know, changes, but also delays, as in the case of ‘Green Lantern’ which Although it has been in development for three years, this change has meant that the arrival of HBO Max is still a long way off. Although for Greg Berlanti, the producer of the series, these changes will benefit the universe: “This is an anthology of cautionary tales set in a world where superpowers exist, and in what promises to be DC’s biggest series ever, we’re going to space with the Green Lantern series, but I can’t reveal more. still on this”the producer said.

Moreover, one of the biggest questions for the fandom is the presence, or not, of Finn Wittrock and Jeremy Irvine. Originally, the series was supposed to star them as Guy Gardner and Alan Scott, but according to Deadline, the series was going to change its protagonist to focus on John Stewart’s Green Lantern, who is black, so the presence of Wittrock and Irvine as protagonists is questioned. However, For now, this is just another rumor.

The last time we saw the green ring was in 2011, when the Ryan Reynolds movie “Green Lantern” was released. with a disappointing result at the box office, just 200 million dollars in revenue, and a long series of bad reviews to understand what the figure of the superhero had become. Five years later, it was Reynolds himself who traced this fact, no longer as a Green Lantern, but by “dressing his little ass” in the red stockings of one of Marvel’s favorite anti-heroes, Wade Wilson. ‘Deadpool’ and ‘Deadpool 2’ managed to pass a whopping $780 million at the box office (each), leaving the ‘Green Lantern’ debacle in the rear view mirror.
