Earlier this year, Dwayne Johnson confirmed that he was planning to team up with DC Entertainment for an unspecified project in 2014. Naturally, plenty of rumors and speculation surrounded his role in the DC Cinematic Universe. The most frequently rumored choice has been Green Lantern John Stewart, whom “The Rock” is a huge fan of.

Arrow‘s Manu Bennett was present at Megacon in Orlando, Florida, where the Slade Wilson actor talked in detail about playing the character.

However, he did confirm that John Barrowman will return as Merlyn in Season 3, “quite possibly” as the big bad once again. Head over to Spoiler TV for more of Bennett’s guest appearance at Megacon. Malcolm Merlyn was the…

As one of DC’s most iconic characters, Green Lantern is expected to debut in the DC Cinematic Universe in Warner Bros.’ Justice League, if not sooner. Of course, there has been much debate on which Lantern to use. Despite the Green Lantern movie’s failure, should WB bring back original League member Hal Jordan?

Below, I’ve compiled a list of five actors who should be considered to play the former on the big screen. #5 – Ryan Reynolds Reynolds played Hal Jordan in 2011’s Green Lantern movie, which was far from a success.

In a lengthy interview with Collider, writer and executive producer Marc Guggenheim talks more about what to expect from the rest of Arrow Season 2. Firstly, he reveals that more people will learn that Oliver Queen is the Arrow. “I would say that that number is going to go up, before the end of the year.
