Geoff Johns on Green Lantern Corps and Rebooting the Character
876Geoff Johns Gives an Update on ‘Green Lantern Corps’ and Talks Rebooting the Character.
We’ve got a bit of clarity on what former DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns has up his sleeve for the Green Lantern reboot movie. Back in May 2016, a few months after Batman v Superman hit theaters and startled Warner Bros. executives with some of its strongly negative responses (though clearly not all negative), the studio aimed to course correct a bit going forward. At that time, WB was still on the hunt for its own Kevin Feige to help creatively run the DC films coming up, which at that time was a bit in flux as WB was in the midst of tooling with the edit of Suicide Squad and had just fired Seth Grahame-Smith as the director of The Flash.
It was then that Johns was chosen to help run DC Films alongside WB executive Jon Berg, and together the two aided in crafting Justice League, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman, among others. Then this past June, it was announced that Johns would be exiting his top post at DC, making way for newly installed Walter Hamada to run the ship. As part of the announcement, it was revealed that Johns wouldn’t be leaving DC entirely—he’d move to a more creative role, and his first order of business was to write the script for Green Lantern Corps.
