Concept artist Jerad Marantz revealed a never-before-seen early Parallax design from 2011's Green Lantern.
"Early concept for Parallax/Krono’s for the Green Lantern movie," Marantz wrote on Instagram. "Obviously this piece a while ago so I don’t remember the specifics. Good times."
Marantz's design shows Parallax being attached to someone or something, resembling an undead parasite. The onscreen version is a menacing force with volume and mass, terrorizing the universe. In this design, Parallax comes off like the shell of a former being floating space, with its sickly yellow appearance and web-like appendages. His body resembled a corpse with its skeletal arms and exposed ribs.
Despite the film's critical and commercial failure, HBO Max recently announced a series based on the Green Lantern Corps., with the film's director Greg Berlanti set to produce. Berlanti's proven track record with shows like Supergirl, Arrow and Batwoman has paved the way for his second attempt adapting the Emerald Knight. No cast, production or release has been announced for the upcoming series.
Written and directed by Greg Berlanti, Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, Tim Robbins and Martin Campbell. The film is now available on Blue-ray and digital.
