Ain’t It Cool News have posted quite a delicious rumour about the Green Lantern film, due to release in June, 2011. The rumour suggests that Jackie Earle Haley, who played Rorschach in the Watchmen film, is about to be cast as the main villain of the Green Lantern universe, Sinestro.

If this wasn’t exciting enough, the site also claims to have been given a tip claiming that Superman, could also make an appearance in the film. Hopefully, Brandon Routh will be picking up the man of steels uniform once again, as I really enjoyed his portrayal of the character in the last film. Routh is listed as being rumoured for the role over at IMDB but things can easily change, can’t they.

I was excited about the Green Lantern film before but now, it seems as that everything is falling into place to make it a fantastic superhero movie.
