Superman Set Photos Might Tease A New Green Lantern
Guy Gardner Could Have Some Company In His DCU Debut
Supermanand the upcoming seriesLanternsare confirmed to use Green Lanterns that come from Earth. However, Guy Gardner could have the company of a very specific Green Lantern in his first DCU appearance. That is becausenewSupermanset photos could be teasing the arrival of the Green Lantern Ch’p. On Twitter,@clevelanddotcomshared set photos of the DCU’s first movie that show Corenswet’s Superman in a peculiar scene. The Man of Steel can be seen talking to a squirrel in a glass box, which has led to a new Green Lantern theory.
It is far from uncommon for Hollywood productions to use real animals on set as references for CGI. That could be behind the newSupermanset photos, with the squirrel in question being there to stand in for the later addition ofCh’p, a Green Lantern that is an alien squirrel from sector 1014. In the comics, Ch’p hails from the planet H’lven, which has a population of alien characters who look like either squirrels or chipmunks. The character has appeared in multiple animated DC projects, butSupermanwould mark Ch’p’s live-action debut.

Why Ch’p Would Be Perfect For James Gunn’s Superman
The Director Has Experience With A Certain Type Of Character
There is no director better equipped to handle Ch’p’s live-action debut than Gunn. The reason for that is simple: Gunn has experience and a successful track record of bringing talking CGI animals to life in live-action. As the writer of two live-action Scooby-Doo movies, Gunn showed early in his career that he understood that type of character. Then came the MCU, withGunn making Rocket Raccoon one of the best heroes in the Guardians of the Galaxyand the whole franchise. After Rocket shined inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Gunn using Ch’p inSupermanwould continue his streak.
Gunn’s experience with Rocket in the MCU shows that he can do right by Ch’p, using his experience in crafting a compelling talking animal in a superhero universe.Supermanalso seems to include at least one other major CGI animal in a superhero role, which would make Ch’p fit in relatively easily. SomeSupermanset videos show Edi Gathegi’s Mister Terrific following something to a pet store and later teaching a character to fly using dog treats. While Gathegi was acting by himself,that sure makes it look like Krypto the Superdog is in Gunn’sSuperman.
