Temuera Morrison Talks Green Lantern

Kellvin Chavez of LatinoReview had the chance to talk to Temura Morrison over the weekend. Morrison is playing Abin Sur, a member of the Green Lantern Corps who is instrumental in Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) becoming the superhero.

He confirmed that he's done filming, and even shared a picture of what he looks like in costume with Chavez. Apparently it looks almost identical to the concept art previously released that people weren't entirely sure was legit.

“That took about 4-5 hours to put on, it was all prosthetic.” Morrsion told Latino Review.

When asked how his shoot with Ryan Reynolds was:

“We did the whole scene together were I give him the ring, our suits are CGI so we had these grey suits with things on them so it was cool and working with Martin Campbell again was great too.”

He even revealed they already have plans to make sequels.

“You know there are making sequels right?” Morrison said. “They want me to come back in the sequel. They want to show you my backend story for the next movie. They want to show you how I become part of Green Lantern Corps.”

It's nice to hear something out of DC other then Batman that's getting more then one film. Green Lantern looks to be the start of a slew of successful DC franchises coming in the future. I've never personally read the comics, but I'm excited to see the live action adaption. I enjoyed Green Lantern First Flight, and the idea alone sounds very cool.

Green Lantern hits theaters everywhere June 17, 2011.
