It’s official, Tamuera Morrison, the guy who played Jango Fett (Boba’s dad, for you non-nerds out there) in Attack of the Clones, is playing Abin Sur in the Green Lantern movie.

Abin Sur was as a member of the Green Lantern Core who chose Hal Jordan as his replacement. Morrison says that Abin Sur’s backstory will be incorporated in the film. He also revealed that it took some time to get into prosthetics and that their suits were entirely CGI.

Filming is done and Green Lantern is set to be released in 2011.

Green Lantern will be played by Ryan Reynolds (we best know him as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine). There’s also a Deadpool movie announced to be released also in 2011.
