Geoffrey Rush, the star of the recent Oscar-baiting epic, The King's Speech, has joined the upcoming DC blockbuster, Green Lantern. The actor will be voicing the giant-bird-man (he's actually an alien) Tomar-Re, a teacher to Ryan Reynolds' Hal Jordan. Tomar-Re will impart his wisdom on how to utilize the intergalactic Green Lantern ring to kick all kinds of ass. Green Lantern hits Irish cinemas June 17th, 2011. Kudos to Hero Complex for the scoop.
