Ain't It Cool News is reporting an interesting rumor that Jackie Earle Haley, who played Rorschach Watchmen and stars as Freddy Krueger in the upcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street, is the frontrunner to play Green Lantern villain Sinestro.

Not only that, but the site says that Superman may make a cameo appearance as well!

Oh. Well, I guess I am just going to have to rethink ever good thing I have ever felt about JEH.

To me Sinestro needs to be played by someone that looks like Clare Gable but can go insane like Al Pachino in Scarface, Jackie Earle Haley may have the insane part down really good but he doesn't have that look for it. Sinestro needs to be played by someone who can come accross with a commanding personality while being evil at the same time.

While I think he would do a good job as Sinestro, I don't want to see this talented actor become type casted.

As much as I'd rather see Hugo Weaving or Guy Pearce get the part, this isn't a bad choice. Kind of pictured Sinestro being taller...but JEH isn't a bad actor.

I just want a damn Green Lantern film right now!

Jackie Earle Haley, PERFECT!!! He was a great Rorschach and he'd do another great job! Knock'em dead Jackie!

My first choice was Matthew Fox but this works too.

While I love Superman, a cameo appearance just seems a tad inappropriate.
