I Still Can’t Get Over The Way The DCU Just Broke Green Lantern’s 13-Year-Long Movie Hiatus

:0:1

The DC Universe has always been full of surprises, but nothing could have prepared me for the way it reintroduced Green Lanterns to live-action movies. For over a decade, the Green Lantern Corps has been conspicuously absent from the big screen following 2011’s Green Lantern. That hiatus was finally broken in the trailer for Superman, where Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner made a brief but memorable debut. It’s a scene that no one saw coming, making it a pivotal moment for fans of the Green Lantern mythology.
Back in 2011, Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds was intended to kickstart a major franchise within the DCU. Unfortunately, the film’s uneven tone and subpar CGI left it falling short of both critical and commercial expectations. As the DCEU timeline grew with films like Man of Steel and Wonder Woman, the Green Lanterns were notably absent, relegated to occasional mentions or small Easter eggs. Enter James Gunn’s Superman, a film poised to reboot the DCU and finally bring the Lanterns back into the spotlight - albeit in the most unexpected way imaginable.

When the Superman trailer dropped, the focus was naturally on Clark Kent and his journey to becoming the world’s most iconic superhero. Viewers were treated to glimpses of Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and Kypto the Superdog. Then, out of nowhere, Guy Gardner appeared, rocking his signature bowl cut and wielding his green ring to lock a door.
