It is expected that other Lanterns will be featured in the series including Bree Jarta, Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. Also being featured in the series is famous Green Lantern villain, Sinestro. His journey from Lantern to villain is expected to play out on screen.
The site has also uncovered a description for Scott which is being used during the casting process:
Alan Scott: White Male, 28 years old. From the outside, Alan is the model of early 1940’s. The image of a G-Man. Alan is handsome, clean-shaven and well dressed without a hair out of place. He has spent his young life trying to personify truth, justice, and the American Way. He is already a household name in L.A. and is seen as hero thanks to positive press coverage. However, for all of Alan’s honesty, there is one huge lie that follows him. He is a gay man. A fact that, in his era, could cost him his job, or even his life.
Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Grahame-Smith executive produce Green Lantern with Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter, David Madden and David Katzenberg; Elizabeth Hunter and Sara Saedi co-executive produce.
