Two weeks after the premiere of "Lanterns," actor Ulrich Thomsen, who plays Thaal Sinestro, expressed his eagerness to delve deeper into Sinestro's character. Thomsen told TheWrap that he is "ready to dig in" and explore the world of Lanterns further. Sinestro, one of the most significant villains in DC Comics, first appeared in "Green Lantern #7" in 1961.
Introduced as a fallen Lantern banished to the anti-matter dimension, Sinestro was later expanded upon with a deeper backstory, including his relationship with Hal Jordan, played by Kyle Chandler. Thomsen was particularly impressed with the grounded approach to Sinestro in "Lanterns," emphasizing the human aspect of the character.
With his pink skin, iconic mustache, and sharp black brows, Thomsen underwent a lengthy makeup process to transform into Sinestro. Despite having previously portrayed the character in the 2011 "Green Lantern" film, Thomsen highlighted the unique approach "Lanterns" takes with its grounded, humanized portrayal of Sinestro.
