The movie's director, Zack Snyder, along with Terio said to have locked themselves up in a room, bringing loads of diet Coke with them so they can work on plotting the film. "Chris would talk and I would draw it and it was basically this weird mural of the movies with no words," Snyder said.
Meanwhile, casting rumors continue about actor Tyrese Gibson playing the role of Green Lantern. In the past weeks, Gibson has been posting photos of him as the coveted character. While nothing has been confirmed or denied yet, Gibson did tease that he had previously met with executives from Warner Bros.
"There are certain things I can't speak on," he said. "But I will say, however this works out, it's definitely the fans' fault. I was at home minding my own business and fans start creating these fan-made videos of me as Green Lantern and I looked into it. I've been a fan of the Green Lantern. I took the oath, and I had a meeting at Warner Bros. and certain things were said and talked about. We'll just see what happens." he continued.
Another actor who might play the role of the famous hero is Crimson Peak actor, Charlie Hunnam. A petition initiated by fans have reportedly been started in the website Change.org aiming to have the actor land the role of Green Lantern. According to the fans, Hunnam has all the qualities that are needed for Green Lantern's alter ego, Oliver Queen.
"Who will wear the green hood on the big screen? And I believe Charlie Hunnam of the recently ended Sons of Anarchy and Pacific Rim is perfect for the job. [Charlie Hunnam] definitely has the looks. He's got the seriousness and grittiness that DC is bringing to their superhero films. He's got the acting ability.
He's got the fan-base. He's got what it takes to bring the Green Arrow to the DC movie universe and to finally make an appearance alongside the Justice League in 2017... Don't you all want to see Oliver Queen be brought to life on the big screen? All Charlie Hunnam needs now is to be noticed by both DC and Warner Brothers to get this going!" said one of the fans in the petition.
As of writing, no details have been released yet pertaining to the green hooded hero.
