Green Hornet News and More From Dynamite Entertainment!
In their recent panel discussion at Baltimore Comic-Con, Dynamite Entertainment Associate Editor Joseph Rybandt and writer Matt Wagner dropped major details and information about their upcoming projects, namely those dealing with a certain emerald insect! Already home to hit books such as Zorro, The Boys and the Project Superpowers series, Dynamite will add several new series focusing on various incarnations of the Green Hornet, all set at different eras in the history of the character, past, present and not-so-distant future. Rybandt and Wagner were well aware of the, pardon the pun, buzz surrounding the Green Hornet, now with Seth Rogan currently at work on a big-screen adaptation of the character, but they promised that their takes on the character would be versions that would give fans plenty to consider once the film actually makes its way into theaters.

‘Green Hornet’ Cast Adds Christoph Waltz
Earlier this week, we reported that Nic Cage was out as the villain in ‘Green Hornet.’ The powers that be on the film moved quickly to find Cage’s replacement. Christoph Waltz, of ‘Inglorious Basterds,’ has signed on to play the villain. After seeing Waltz’s portrayal of a Nazi Colonel in the Tarantino film, we’re going to say this casting change is a MAJOR upgrade. Exciting stuff for fans of ‘Green Hornet.’
No Nicolas Cage in ‘Green Hornet’
‘Green Hornet’ started shooting last week, and one actor that was in negotiations for a role will no longer act in the film. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Nicolas Cage will NOT play the villain in the film. Cage had long been rumored to be be part of the cast.
I’m sure I’ll take some flak for this, but I’m good with Cage not being in the film. He already has ‘Kick-Ass’ in the can, and he’s appeared in what seems like a thousand other comic book movies. Cage is about to over-exposed to the fans of this genre (as I also think is close to happening to Megan Fox).
No word on a new villain. We’ll report it as soon as we hear something.
