Yusuf M. Veteran Posted April 3, 2014 Veteran Share Posted April 3, 2014 Any guesses as to who they'll play? I'm guessing Callan Mulvey will play Hal Jordan/Green Lantern and Tao Okamoto will play Katana. I'm finding it hard to guess who Holly Hunter will play. Maybe Starfire?

Those sound possible to me as well, should be interesting either way, we're looking at a pretty big movie character wise even if I think most are just going to be small and even cameos.
