Written by: Greg Berlanti, Michael Green, Marc Guggenheim and Michael Goldenberg
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, Tim Robbins, Temuera Morrison, Jay O. Sanders, Taika Waititi and Jon Tenney
Long sought after to don superhero tights, Reynolds has only recently taken up the mantle, appearing as Captain Excellent in “Paper Man” and Deadpool in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” a spinoff of which is in the works. Here, he plays Hal Jordan, a gifted and cocky test pilot who is tapped to join the Green Lantern Corps, a brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order with the help of rings that grant them superpowers. Hal is the first human to harness the infinite powers of the ring, but his very humanity may make him the greatest Green Lantern of all. Lively (“The Town”) co-stars as his fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart; Campbell, who relaunched the James Bond series with Daniel Craig as 007, directs.

Their adventures lead them to the streets of Europe and Japan, where they get caught up in international espionage with British superspy Fin McMissile (Caine) and spy-in-training Holley Shiftwell (Mortimer). “Cars 2” hits the road in Disney Digital 3-D and Imax 3-D.
