Will Sinestro Be In The Green Lantern Film?

Holmes has Moriarty. The Doc♛tor has the Master. Superman has Lex Luthor. And The Green Lantern has Sinestro. So why haven’t we heard anything about him being in the Green Lantern that's currently in production?

In the DC universe, Thaal Sinestro is a kind of "Lantern turned bad" - a former mentor of Hal Jordan (The Green Lantern) who then becomes a supervillain and the arch nemesis of the Green Lantern Corps. So he seems like the obviou෴s choice for the main baddie. However, Peter Saarsgaard was as playing another Green Lantern villain, Dr Hector Hammond. So where does that leave Sinestro?

he will feature in the movie, but not prominently. In the same way as the trio of Kryptonite villains in Superman II were set up in Superman The Movie, Sinestro will have a min꧒or role in the film, with an eye to using him as a big bad in a sequel. And the site also reckons they know who will play him – Jackie Earle Haley, who was Rorschach in Watchmen and is also the new Freddy Krueger.

According to the site: "The Green Lantern is overstuffed with characters from the history of the series… One gets the feeling that they're worried about setting up the entire series in this first film… With Sinestro, don't expect him to stroll in and suddenly be pure evil in this film. And don't expect him to be onscreen for the ent🤪ire movie. But unless something drastically changes, he is in tꩲhe film. And I'm hearing that based on the relationship they have with him from Watchmen and A Nightmare On Elm Street, Jackie Earle Haley is the only choice for Sinestro by the studio.

"I'm no♓t going to play a semantics game here... there is a very real difference in meaning between terms like 'in talks' and 'in negotiations' and 'on a list', and I'm not sure where they are in that process right now. But I am willin𓂃g to say that Haley is the guy."

Is HitFix r🐠ight? Or just 🥃putting two and two together and coming up with five?
