Based on the rumor, it already didn't happen...they couldn't come to terms a while ago.
As excited as this McQuarrie rumor has made me, anyone else getting the feeling like it will end up the same way a lot of these DCEU rumors go? You know, a big name that WB is supposedly pursuing for a directorial or acting gig, and then nothing ever materializes?
The Hashtag show said this was fresh, meaning that the studio likely approached McQuarrie again after October.
It's possible this won't pan out, but remember after the Sony studio hack in late 2014 about Marvel wanting to produce new Spidey movies (and let the studio keep the rights) and talks fell through? They went back to negotiations and struck a deal in February 2015.
We might get something concrete after MI: Fallout comes out, especially if it's another big hit. McQuarrie will be in a better position to negotiate for a deal then.
DenOfGeek already debunked the scoop. Pretty much the only times I hear any "scoop" about Green Lantern Corps seems to always come from these "Hashtag Show" guys. How reliable are they anyway?

So it's 50/50 then? Sometimes they get it right, others they are embarrassingly off the mark.
While there's no news on him being attached to GLC, I want to put it out there that John Krasinski is getting fantastic buzz on his feature directorial debut A Quiet Place. I know he doesn't exactly look the part of Hal, but a smaller well-reviewed film like this usually gets studios eager to have an untested director take a chance on a blockbuster film.
Holy crap, Sterling K. Brown would be an Amazing choice.
For me it'd be either him or Trevante Rhodes or the guy from American Gods
He could pull it off possibly , but I think he would be the perfect Ted Kord for the DCEU. Cooper or Hammer for Hal and Whittle for JohnnStewart
