Green Lantern Corps is definitely happening, this is not a drill.

There has been talk that a sequel to the Ryan Reynolds-starring 2011 film was on its way for a while now, but nothing's really been confirmed.

With Comic-Con in full swing, DCEU's Geoff Johns has now revealed that he has an idea about where he wants the sequel to go, and has said it will be a "complete reimagining" of the character's story.

"It's a complete re-imagining, just like I did Green Lantern: Rebirth in the comics," he told IGN.

Reynolds recently admitted he hasn't actually seen his – quite frankly terrible – Green Lantern movie, but Johns is confident that won't happen with the sequel he is planning.

"I'm going to be hopefully delivering a script that Warner loves and DC likes and they want to make it," he said.

"It's going to celebrate the mythology and reinvent it in a different way."

The script hasn't been given the go-ahead yet, but everything sounds pretty positive so far. Though, let's face it, it probably couldn't be worse than the first one.

Green Lantern Corps is scheduled to arrive in cinemas in 2020.
