‘Batman v Superman’ Cast & Plot News: Will Chris Pine Portray Green Lantern?

Fans can expect to see the original seven actors of the 'Justice League' movie in the upcoming 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' based on DC Comics superheroes Batman and Superman. In addition, the producers have already named the actors/ actresses who are expected to play most of the characters in the film and Chris Pine may possibly be one of the familiar faces.

According to Christian Today, while Pine is definitely a very familiar actor as he appears in the new 'Star Trek' films directed by J.J. Abrams, it remains to be seen if the actor actually fits the role of donning the ring.

Pine has features in several action films, and is competent enough to spring into stunts naturally. Now, with the help of a ring, it remains to be seen whether Pine will be suitable enough to portray the character of one of the founding members of the Justice League.

In fact, fans have been wondering why the production unit is still not naming the actor who would take on the role. Even though Pine's name has been in circulation for the role, there has been no official announcement in this regard yet.

Even if it is assumed that Pine would be taking on the role of Hal Jordan, fans are wondering how the actor will be able to manage his time starting in a variety of DC film lineups, such as 'Green Lantern' and 'Justice League' part 1 and 2, in addition to his recurring role as Captain Kirk in 'Star Trek.'

A recent report mentioned that actually there will be two Green Lanterns in the near future. This is likely to happen when 'Justice League' Part 1 released sometime in 2017.

In case, Chris Pine really plays the role of Hal Jordan, the question is who could play the John Stewart version. Some publications have hinted that Tyrese Gibson is being considered for the role, a connection that is not essentially new provided on considers earlier reports speculating that Gibson will be playing Green Lantern.

While there has been no official communication in this regard, many are of the view that both Pine and Gibson would be excellent choices to portray the Green Lantern characters.
