While you’re getting excited about this summer’s Marvel films Thor, X-Men: First Class, and Captain America: The First Avenger, don’t forget about this summer’s DC Comics offering, Green Lantern, as Warner Bros. attempts to expand DC’s superhero film franchises beyond Batman and Superman movies. Today Bleeding Cool has revealed the first clear shot of Temuera Morrison (Star Wars: Attack of the Clones) as Abin Sur, the alien being who serves as Sector 2814’s Green Lantern (which includes Earth) before giving the ring to Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). We saw the first glimpse of Sur in the trailer a few months back, but we haven’t seen a close up until now. It’s scanned from this week’s Green Lantern comic, which is why the picture isn’t he best quality.
Green Lantern also stars Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Jay O. Sanders, and Tim Robbins. Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) directed the film, which is now in post-production and is set for a 3D release on June 17.
