Fan Theory Says That Green Lantern Is A Justice League Villain
Justice League fans are finally getting to know the main villain of the film, but what if there's [...]
Hal Jordan In The Mix
The second theory provided by Nerdinator2029 builds on this theory but adds one substantial scenario.
Odds are that Steppenwolf has been planning this attack for some time, biding his time until Earth was most vulnerable. So, it makes sense that he would seek out the most prominent threat first, and since he knows of the Lanterns they would be an obvious first choice.
The second theory envisions the Justice League fighting their way into Steppenwolf's ship. They discover a man in obvious pain attached to cables, which are drawing power from him. Unsure of how long he's been there, the League asks "what kind of a man could take that?"
Wonder Woman says "One with a mighty will", and frees the mysterious man, who turns out to be Hal Jordan. It would seem Steppenwolf took Earth's Lantern guardian off the board and used his power to his benefit. Now that Superman is "dead", the time to strike was too good to pass up.

So, not much is known about the Green Lantern side of the DCEU, but there are a few details out there.
According to an earlier report, there will be a Green Lantern presence in Justice League, but the character will not be human in nature. That crosses standbys like Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Kyle Rayner off the board, but opens things up to plenty of other Alien Lantern members.
This theory was fed after the newest Comic-Con trailer, where a green light is seen in the reflection of Alfred's glass, especially when he says "He said you'd come. Now let's hope you're not too late." This could also be a reference to Superman of course, but the light is what charges the Lantern rumors.
According to Steppenwolf, the Green Lanterns already exist in the DCEU, and they will get their chance to shine in the Green Lantern Corps movie coming in 2020. As for that film, the project is being pitched as a Cosmic Buddy Cop movie with Jordan and Stewart as the leads, but nothing specific as far as plot or other characters is known yet.
