Actor Nick Jones Jr. was on set and suited up as a pre-ring slinging John Stewart in the Green Lantern movie and even got interviewed by It’s Komplicated webcast. However, if you went to the theatre to get a look, you would find him nowhere amongst the likes of Angela Basset or even an animated Michael Clarke Duncan. What the heck is up with getting edited out of the movie? Our editor-in-chief asked him, and he had this to say …
“There’s a lot to look forward to. GL2 & JL, no need to dwell on that”
Read that closely — aimed at a Justice League movie and the emerald-shaded sequel? We’ll keep our eye on that story.

UPDATED: According to The Hollywood Reporter, the sequel is on.
Warner Bros. is already planning a sequel to Ryan Reynolds’ superhero pic Green Lantern, despite the film’s soft performance at the box office.
Sources say Warners still believes in the franchise, even if the studio is “somewhat disappointed” with Green Lantern’s result.
Over the weekend, Green Lantern fell a steep 66% at the domestic box office, grossing $18.4 million for a cume of $89.3 million. That’s a big decline.
Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution Dan Fellman said the movie is settling in, pointing out that fanboy pics often see a significant drop-off in their second weekends.
