I have a feeling the movie will go all in on the ensemble cast, though, with Hal, John, Guy and Kilowog all sharing the spotlight. Maybe even put Jess in it for a female character.
The problems with GL had nothing to do with the ideas or the IP, it's that it had embarrassing special effects and terrible, uncharasmatic actors reciting a shitty script.
Audiences don't associate quality with IPs like that anymore. They're smart enough to know that the new GL has nothing to do with the last one, even if there are some people who don't get it. People will go see movies if they're good (unlike Justice League), if they have a cool trailer (unlike Justice League), and if they like the actors (unlike Justice League)
Get some good actors for Stewart and Gardner and watch the cash roll in.
