I tweeted a few weeks back about next year being a big one for the superhero. This overload may not be such a bad thing as quality will be at a premium due to the sheer volume of appearances from Captain America, Green Hornet etc.
The Green Lantern trailer has just been posted online and, although I have to admit to being more excited about the release of Captain America, it looks an intersting prospect. Starring Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively and Peter Sarsgaard; The Green Lantern is the story of a pilot with a 'power' ring that bestows the user with otherworldly powers along with membership into an intergalactic squadron with the goal of securing peace for the universe. Directed by Martin Campbell and with a huge budget of $150 million the hype is sure to build over the coming months.
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
Release date 17th June 2011.
