Though his first effort in the genre didn't go well, Miles Teller is ready to return to the world of superheroes and has responded to fan casting of Green Lantern and Nova. Teller, best known for his breakout performance in Whiplash and more recently in the long-gestating Top Gun: Maverick, previously tried his hand at the superhero field with 2015's Fantastic Four movie reboot. The film was an infamous critical and commercial flop amidst various creative differences between director Josh Trank, co-writer Jeremy Slater and studio 20th Century Fox.
Green Lantern has similarly seen a troubled history on the big screen, beginning with the Ryan Reynolds-led 2011 movie, which underperformed at the box office and was poorly received by critics and audiences alike, leading to the cancellation of plans for multiple sequels. Zack Snyder would begin laying the groundwork for a Green Lantern to appear in the DC Extended Universe with Justice League, with a flashback revealing the existence of multiple Lanterns and filming a cameo with Wayne T. Carr playing the John Stewart incarnation for Zack Snyder's Justice League, though this was cut by Warner Bros. due to future plans for the character. With Green Lantern's future looking bright at the studio, one star is eager to get in on the cosmic adventures.
