The end of Green Lantern sees Sinestro convince the Guardians to forge a yellow ring to defeat Parallax, which doesn't end up being used as Hal Jordan manages to defeat the villain himself and urges Sinestro not to use the ring.

The stinger, however, shows Sinestro getting his hands on the yellow ring and seemingly becoming possessed by it, foreshadowing his evolution into a fully fledged villain.
