Green Lantern Corps. (film)

Green Lantern Corps is an imagined film in the DC Cinematic Universe that stars the Green Lantern characters. The movie continues from the previous year's The Justice League movie, which introduced Hal Jordan.

It stars Richard Armitage, Timothy Olyphant, Trevante Rhodes, Daniel Craig, and Jodie Cromer.

Plot

 * Manhunters destroy and rampage through a space sector, and kill almost everyone on the planet Ryut. Atros and remaining survivors blame the Green Lanterns for the destruction, as they were served to protect them.
 * The Green Lantern Guardians, including Ganthet, summon Hal Jordan and Sinestro to lead a team of Green Lanterns that includes Kilowog, Boodikka, John Stewart, Arisia Rrab, and Ch'p to defeat the villain Evil Star on the planet Aoran. The victory promotes Hal and Sinestro to honor lanterns.
 * The film continues with a good cop/bad cop vibe - Sinestro is seen more as the hard-nose lantern who believes that the Guardians should use more fear-mongering in order to be more effective. Hal disagrees with this, despite having high respect for him. Sinestro argues that the reason Ryut was attacked is because the Green Lanterns have gone too soft. He then reminds Hal that he himself went against the Guardians' orders when he joined the Justice League and defeated Steppenwolf in The Justice League. Hal rebuts by saying that he was too enraged to reason with the Guardians at the time after Steppenwolf killed K'ryssma and Salaak.
 * The scientist Krona seeks out Atros and performs an ancient ritual, that revives the long-dead Red Lantern rings. Atros turns into Atrocitus and leads the Red Lanterns into attacking the green lanterns.
 * The Red Lanterns win a battle against a group of Green Lanterns. This is the tipping point for Sinestro, who has secretly been making a yellow ring with Krona.
 * KIlowog continues to train John Stewart and the other new lanterns.
 * The final fight is a 3-way battle between Green Lantern Corps, Red Lantern Corps, and the Manhunters near Sinestro's planet. The Green Lanterns decide to waste the planet in order to defeat Atrocitus. Sinestro completely disagrees with this, as he wants Atrocitus to be destroyed only. He goes against the Guardians' orders and summons both green and yellow ring to destroy Atrocitus. SInestro then vanishes.
 * Hal Jordan, now an honor lantern, appoints John Stewart as protector of the Earth sector. Hal also hints that he wants to find his wife, who turned into a Star Sapphire.
 * In the credits scene, Sinestro is on Qward with Krona.
