Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Zack Snyder, the new Green Lantern movie has been billed as a complete reinvention of the beloved character, one that will finally do justice to the scope and grandeur of the Green Lantern mythos. And from the looks of the electrifying first footage, Snyder is pulling out all the stops to deliver a superhero experience unlike anything we’ve seen before.

The teaser trailer opens with a stunning vista of the Green Lantern Corps’ home planet Oa, where we get our first glimpse of the iconic Guardians of the Universe. These mysterious, powerful beings are tasked with overseeing the intergalactic Green Lantern Corps, which is made up of the most elite and brave heroes from across the cosmos, each wielding a powerful green energy-based power ring.
