DEVELOPING:

All has been quite on the "Green Lantern" movie front. We got a trailer a while back and that's about it.

I've been on the hunt for this story for a hot minute and I got from it two sources tonight, that although at press time not a done deal but that...

Michael Clarke Duncan is in talks to voice KILOWOG, a towering member of the Green Lantern Corps who is the primary trainer of the Corps' newest recruits.

You can spot him in the trailer breathing down Hal Jordan's neck.

Because I got the tip after hours, I couldn't really confirm through normal channels.

I think Michael Clarke Duncan would be an absolutely solid choice for the character.






Here’s a little bio on the character.

Kilowag is one of the many Green Lanterns in the DC Universe. He is known as one of the smartest and toughest of all of the Green Lanterns.

As a gifted scientist from the planet Bolovax Vik, Kilowog was found and recruited by the Guardian of the Universe. Along with serving as the Green Lantern of sector 674, Kilowog helped train Hal Jordan who is known for being the most impressive and well-known green lantern.

Kilowog's home planet was blown up during the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" series. He was able to save them all by storing their life essences into his ring before the explosion. Years later he found a suitable replacement for Bolovax Vik in a different sector. But as soon as he resurrected all of the citizens of the new Bolovax Vik, the Green Lantern Sinestro destroyed the planet permanently killing everyone, which led to Kilowog's temporary insanity.
