The San Diego Comic Con has become the outlet for studios to promote their most popular films. It is there that all of your favorite superheroes, science-fiction franchises and action films show off what they have to as many geeks as can fit in Hall H. This year, one of those said projects will be Martin Campbell's Green Lantern, the next big superhero franchise from the folks over at Warner Bros. and DC Comics. What we've seen from the film has been tremendously limited up to this point, the closest we've gotten to seeing Ryan Reynolds in costume is this (albeit it's a good a picture as we are going to get considering that the suit will be digitally rendered. So with Green Lantern set to have it's panel next Saturday, that's when we will get our first look, right? Nope.
Comic Book Movie reports that Entertainment Weekly Managing Editor Jess Cagle recently made a radio station visit where she revealed that next week Ryan Reynolds in full Green Lantern garb will grace the cover of the magazine. The subject was brought up while discussing the recently released Mel Gibson tapes, which will be bumped in favor of our favorite green superhero.
Very democratic of Warner Bros., if I do say so myself. But for those planning on attending the convention that are upset they won't be getting an exclusive first picture, perhaps they will make up for it in other ways.
