As if balancing origins with action wasn’t already challenging enough, Campbell has also confirmed that a good chunk of the movie will be set amongst the stars.

“I don’t know what the percentage is, but there’s quite a bit in space,” explains Campbell. “The initial trip up there, the training sessions he has to go through in order to become a Green Lantern. Then, of course at the end, he goes back up to Oa (the planet that houses Green Lantern HQ) again.”

“There are a couple of bits (on Earth) in between. I think there will be enough to satisfy everybody.”

Yeah, that sounds like plenty to us! Given that the Green Lantern Corps is frequently described as a kind of intergalactic police force, it makes sense that our hero wouldn’t be restricted to trudging round this old rock for the entire film.

That said, it will still be a challenge to make sure it all looks convincing, and doesn’t jar against the earthbound stuff. Could this be an attempt to cram in too much, a la Spiderman 3? Only time will tell…
