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.
