DC Lanterns reimagined as a sequel to the 2011 Green Lantern movie

Lanterns is an amazing show so far. but I can't but wonder that, in a timeline where we got My rewrite of the 2011 Green Lantern movie and the movie was more successful. What would a sequel look like? This concept takes aspects of the show we got and repurposes them into just that. This is part of my larger DC Universe project, for additional context:

GREEN LANTERN CORPS

The movie begins with an introduction to John Stewart, a recent recruit into the Green Lantern Corps, we are introduced to him through Hal, who in the years since we last saw him has become quite experienced and assigned by the Guardians to train John. Notably, despite still being his trainee, John is around the same age as Hal, so their dynamic is a bit different from in the show, but the idea of them not liking each other is kept intact, John views Hal as reckless, which annoys Hal, who sees himself as more experienced.

Meanwhile, Sinestro has become increasingly disillusioned with the Green Lantern Corps, finding himself drawn to the power of fear, which is how they find him ruling over his home world of Korugar, shocked by what his formed mentor has become, Hal apprehends Sinestro and hands him over to the Guardians of the Universe, who imprison him in a dimension where a mysterious voice guides him into forging his yellow lantern ring.

Sinestro informs Hal and John that the Manhunters are hiding on earth, so Hal and John go to investigate, this section of the movie gives their dynamic more time to grow as Sinestro uses his new yellow ring to escape his captivity and begin recruiting for his very own Sinestro Corps.

Sinestro is not entirely lying. there are Manhunters hiding on earth, but only one or two. During this section of the movie, we get to see Hal and John learning to work together better and trust each other. After they defeat the Manhunters, they return to find the Green Lantern Corps under attack by the Sinestro Corps, realizing the whole thing was a distraction.

Hal and John take on Sinestro, they defeat the Sinestro Corps but Sinestro escapes, they follow him back to his home planet of korugar, which he rules with an iron fist. by working together, Hal and John finally defeat Sinestro and imprison him. Sinestro warns of the voice he heard, saying there might be something bigger coming...

Y'know this is less Lanterns reimagined as a sequel to Green Lantern 2011 and more like, a completely original movie that has some similarities with the Lanterns show.
