[[WMG:The sequel will have Carol recast with a much better (and less annoying) actress.]]
Not so much a guess as a '''''[[Creator/BillHicks fervent prayer]]'''''. Taking Creator/BlakeLively out of the equation can only improve things immensely.

In this case, a ForWantOfANail situation involving Krona's relationship with Parallax. In the comics, Krona was merely a Maltusian physicist, who created the DC multiverse while trying to find the Creator. In the movie, Krona took an interest in the electromagnetic spectrum rather than the Big Bang, and so discovered and allied with Parallax. In response, the Corps formed earlier to both combat this menace and mobilize those who would otherwise be helpless victims.

After the failure of Ryan Reynolds to interest the mainstream audience in the ''Green Lantern'' franchise, then the outstanding popularity of Rocket Raccoon in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' could suggest another way. Namely, the closest equivalent in Franchise/TheDCU to Rocket is Green Lantern Ch'p or his successor, B'dg, so WB may well decide that a cute BadassAdorable kicking butt with a power ring might be just the way to appeal to the general moviegoing public.

Everyone knows the [[ComicBook/BoosterGold Green Lantern]] has a robot sidekick that oddly enough sounds like [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Phillip J Fry]] and wears a blue and yellow costume.

[[WMG: Amanda Waller would have formed the Suicide Squad.]]
The movie was intended to be the first in a DC Cinematic Universe, hence her inclusion. Nearly getting killed by Hector had made her more cold, and believe superpowered beings should be controlled and used to serve a purpose.

[[WMG: Parallax isn't a Guardian gone mad like the rest think.]]
Parallax is an Emotional Entity like in the comics. The Guardians in the movie just have no clue that the Emotional Spectrum have sentient beings tied to them.

[[WMG:Jordan's resignation was never accepted in the first place.]]
* After all, we never heard Tomar-Re, Sinestro and Kilowog's reaction to that statement and they would never have let him keep the ring and battery in that situation. Furthermore, when Jordan returned to Oa to speak with the Guardians, no one says anything to him about trespassing or still using the ring. Tomar-Re likely said:
-->'''Tomar-Re''': Hal Jordon, we can't accept your resignation that easily, but you obviously need a break. May I suggest you go home with the ring for now and come back when you've sorted out your feelings on this matter.
-->'''Hal Jordan''': You mean you trust a newbie like me with this weapon just like that?
-->'''Tomar-Re''': Yes, provided you don't cause any trouble with it, I do.
** The other lanterns insisted that the ring always chooses a worthy wielder and perhaps in the movie universe one cannot choose to give it up or the Guardians do not step in to take it away until the wearer becomes unworthy. That ought to make the sequel interesting regarding Sinestro [[spoiler: because he isn't shown giving up the green ring when he dons the yellow one, so that means he has ''both.'']]

[[WMG:The movie takes place in an Elseworld.]]

[[WMG:Deadpool is posing as several movie critics in order to stop Green Lantern from getting a sequel.]]
Why? He wants Ryan Reynolds all to himself.
* Sure sounds like something Wade would do.

[[WMG:''Series/GossipGirl'' is really the origin story of Star Sapphire]]
* There is no Serena Van Der Woodsen. Carol Ferris kept up another name, or personality, in her formative years to find herself. Her romantic tendencies and behavior end up being a magnet for the Star Sapphire's mis-read of human emotions. Its notion of love is just as bugout insane as hers.

[[WMG:The next (or possibly a third) movie will be based on ComicBook/BlackestNight.]]

[[WMG:"''Justice League''" will ''not'' ignore Green Lantern]]
They'll just retool the style so GL will look cooler. They'll explain it with CharacterDevelopment.

[[WMG:The sequel will feature the other three Green Lanterns.]]
Following his [[Series/{{Firefly}} sudden but inevitable betrayal]], the Corps will recruit three other humans, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rayner, to help Hal Jordan fight Sinestro.

[[WMG:The sequel will be a soft reboot in the vein of ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', starring a different Green Lantern.]]
* Instead of Parallax, the sequel/reboot will mention the first villain he fight as GL is the alien HiveMind Legion. Parallax will be saved for future sequels if they wish to adapt certain GL storylines. Legion might turn out to a henchman working for the Five Inversions.

[[WMG:Warner Brothers will focus on a H'lvenite Green Lantern character to interest the audience in the ''Green Lantern'' property]]

* Seems like the same executives responsible for [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine Dudepeel]] messed up another comic character played by Creator/RyanReynolds.

[[WMG: ''Film/SupermanReturns'' takes place in the same reality as ''Series/Supergirl2015'' and ''Film/GreenLantern''.]]
You'd need to fudge around with the timeline a bit to make this work, but...

1966: Kara is born on Krypton.

1978: Krypton explodes, Kara goes into suspended animation, and Clark is born.

1997: Clark begins secretly operating as Superman.

1999: Clark takes a job at the Daily Planet. He meets Lois Lane and, depending on how old he is, Jimmy Olsen.

2002: Clark publicly debuts as Superman. His first act of public heroism is saving a plane, effectively preventing a second 9/11.

2003: Clark finds Kara's pod and brings her to the Danvers family.

2006: Superman discovers that Krypton may not actually have been destroyed. He flies off to Krypton to find it.

2010: The events of ''Green Lantern'' occur.

At some unspecified time, Hal Jordan either retires as Green Lantern or leaves Earth, or is otherwise prevented from openly using his powers.

2011: Superman returns, and this is when the movie actually takes place.

At some point, Richard dies, Lois and Clark get married, and Clark decides to take time off from full-time superheroing to look after his son. That's why Superman doesn't show up except during emergencies during Supergirl.

2015: The events of ''Supergirl'' begin.
