NOTE: The following is the text of the news summary from the Sunday, July 3rd's It's Komplicated webcast (Watch the Show).
EXCLUSIVE NEWS ABOUT THE GREEN LANTERN SEQUEL AND JUSTICE LEAGUE:
Talk to anyone and they'll tell you that the Green Lantern movie stunk up the joint. With a budget of $200 million, the box office wasn't necessarily nice either. The film grossed under $100 million as of last Wednesday.
One of the main things worth noting, for Komplicated at least, is that Nick Jones Jr. (John Stewart), whom we interviewed a week before the film's release, didn't make it onto the screen. His part was cut out of the movie entirely.
When It's Komplicated's producer, Hannibal Tabu, contacted the actor on Twitter, he had this to say, "There's a lot to look forward to. GL2 & JL, no need to dwell on that." The actor has confirmed that he is signed for a Justice League movie, also. That's the business! We'll keep up with him. In the meantime, let us know which G.I. Joe character you think Nick Jones, Jr. should play over in the sidebar.

This joint can fly at 3,125 miles per hour, and is powered by biofuel made from seaweed. Prepared to travel from New York to London in an hour, the plane holds 100 passengers, who should be able to board … in 40 years.
