DC’s Decades-Long Green Lantern problem has an Easy fixed to the top gun: Maverick Writer – ryan

With Dc universe Set to Include Green Lantern in the Coming Years, Top Gun: Maverick Writer Christopher McQuarrie Has CLASIED THAT THE FRANCHISE’S MISTRATEMENT OF THE HERE HAD AN Easy Fix. Despite One of the Green Lanterns, Guy Gardner, Appearing in Both James Gunn’s Superman Movie and Peacemaker Season 2 in 2025, The Character Has Been Underutilized for Decades in Live-Action. DC’s Animated Universe Has Treated the Green Lanterns Well, But Both before and After 2011’s Infamous Flop Starring Ryan Reynolds, iterations of the Space Cops have been almost nonexistant for various reasons and problems.

Recently, howver, a fix to these problems haen proposed by Top Gun: Maverick Writer and Mission: Impossible Director Christopher McQuarrie in an interview for the HAPPY, SAD, CONFused podcast. McQuarrie was asced by host Josh Horowitz About McQuarrie’s Rumored Plass for Both a Man of steel 2 and Green Lantern Movie in the Old DCEU, to which the filmmaker Shared How and the Latter’s Live-Action Issues:

“I’ll Never Tell, But, Boy, it was f ****** good. It was f ****** good. Green lantern was what haad come to me. And Green Lantern is a tough one… The Power is Very Challenging, and i Cracked It. It was fun and watching Him Learn How to use that Power and giving that power a flaw, so that it was swimming invincibility. The Whole Concept of Green Lantern is the ring has to be recharged… That’s not a bug, that’s a Feature. Yes, you have infinite power, but you only have so much battery life, and that can run at the inconvenient time. That, for me, solved the whole green lentern problem… I realized, don’t worry about the costume, worry about that character. And, how do you give that the tension and stakes? ”

Acciting to McQuarrie, DC’s Issues with Green Lantern as a character have been with his visual appearance and power-scaling. McQuarrie wished to dial that down, focus on the moments where the character is in crisis and hasing to deal that their powers are unlimited.

The DCU COULD Learn From McQuarrie’s View on Green Lantern

Sadly, McQuarrie’s Comments Will Likely Never Come to Fruit. AFTER ALL, THE FILMAKER’S Green Lantern Pitch was part of the Old Dceu Movie Timeline, with James Gunn’s DCU Instead of Center Stage AS of 2025. Thats Being Said, the Decision of the Green Lantern in the DCU COULN FROM THIS, “Tension and Stakes” route that mcquarrie spoke about will be implemented in the DCU’s Lanterns TV Show.

With James Gunn Announcing That is Working on A TV Series Following Hal Jordan and John Stewart, here’s the everything you need to know About Lanterns.

From what haen been revealed about Lanterns Thus far, the show is shaping up to be a smaller-scale adventure. It haen been described as a True detective-lik series, with John Stewart and Hal Jordan Investigating A Murder in the American Heartland that is tied to a massive dcu mytery. Based on this, it seames as though the DCU’s first green lentern-centric story will be much more focused on the characters and the stakes of their investigations. Whether it ties to mcquarrie’s comments about infinite infinite remains to be seen, but all signs point to the dcu learning from past mistakes with these characters.

It is refreshing to have a Big Hollywood Filmmaker Know a Lot About Superheroes

Overall, i love mcquarrie’s comments About Green Lantern. I SIMILARLY LOVED MCQUARRIE’S COMMENTS ON Man of steel 2a movie he pitched to dc alongside his Green Lantern Idea. Above all, these comments test to me that mcquarrie understands dc’s characters well. Naturally, I am excited to see if mcquarrie coulud work in the dc universe in the futures. I am already hyped about the futures of the franchise and Trust James Gunn to deliver a fantastic interconnected universe of dc characters. If Gunn Can Hire Filmmakers with as Much Care About These Characters as McQuarrie, The Dcu Will Be in Good Hands.
