Will Michelle Rodriguez be the next female Green Lantern?

The new film is temporarily titled as Green Lantern Corps and is penned down by popular Hollywood writer, Geoff Johns. It is reportedly a multi-starrer with not one but many Green Lantern’s wielding punches and shielding themselves from the opponent. Furthermore, the film will explore the cinematic universe set by the first part which saw Ryan Reynolds in the shoes of Hal Jordan.

She said that it is the dumbest idea to steal ‘white people’s superheroes’.
