Disney Marvel acquisition (with added Sinestro)

Disney are going to own Marvel Entertainment. Four billion.

OK, so "this transaction combines Marvel`s strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney`s creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories".

Which is all well and good. But what we all really want to know is - "What would Jeremy Irons look like playing Sinestro in the new Green Lantern Movie..?"

Sinestro - Green Lantern Movie - Jeremy IronsJeremy Irons without much make-up there. Just shine a pink light on his head and get him to grow a little moustache. Sorted. He's probably a wee bit cheaper than Daniel Day Lewis too.

Personally, my money's on Antonio Banderas.

Not quite pointy enough, it's true, but it's amazing what they can do with prosthetics these days.

And while we're at it...

Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) : Ryan Reynolds (confirmed)
Guy Gardner : Stephen Baldwin (unconfirmed)
Kilowog : Clancy Brown (voice)
Actually, scrap that, they're not having Kilowog in the movie at all. Ch'p does all the training.
Kyle Rayner (2nd sequel only) : Freddy Rodríguez
Carol Ferris : Kate Beckinsale
Clark Kent (cameo) : Him from Smallville
Alan Scott : Any other available Baldwin.

Oh yeah. I know that wasn't really about the Disney Marvel acquisition. Should have probably titled the post 'Irons Sinestro pic".
