10 Upcoming Movie Reboots That Might Actually Work

10. Green Lantern

While it might have looked promising initially, Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern did so poorly that the planned sequel was immediately dropped. The strange CG costume, unsympathetic protagonist and confusing plot burned down any interest in continuing stories in the universe. Despite this, a reboot is in the works. Announced for 2020, with so little production details, it seems likely it will have a later release.

Why It Might Work:

There isn't much officially known about the direction the reboot, Green Lantern Corps, will take. The name does seem to support current rumors that the movie will focus more on the galactic cop aspect of the universe.

Perhaps having Hal Jordan will partner with the popular comic book character, John Stewart, a Marine sniper veteran. Whatever direction the film takes DC seems to be seriously rethinking its movies franchises, which could mean they will take this second chance as an opportunity to do right by the source material.
