Warner Brothers planned on making Green Lantern a franchise with plenty of sequels, so it would make sense for the Carol Ferris character played by Blake Lively to become Star Sapphire at some point.
Lively has (sort of ) confirmed that Carol Ferris' alter ego Star Sapphire will pop up in the future. In a recent interview she said, "If this movie is successful and we did a few more films, I'm pretty confident that Star Sapphire would show up." [Blastr]
Considering the movie opened with an estimated $53 million box office compared to its $350 million cost ($200 million for the movie and $150 million on marketing), the prospects of a sequel aren't looking as good as they did when Lively was interviewed. Nonetheless, this story serves as a great excuse to post a bunch of borderline-NSFW Star Sapphire cosplay pictures. So let it be written, so let it be done:

Wait, that's not Star Sapphire cosplay. That's just Blake Lively wearing purple.

In brightest day, in blackest night…
With all of the Green Lanterns from various parts of the universe, they all know that this shit only rhymes in English, right? It’s a damn good thing that the entire Corps already spoke English when they welcomed their very first human member.
It rhymes in every language. Because it…um…
It’s a comic book, they do what they want.
*sigh*
1. With 3600 sectors (not including the uncharted sectors), and countless worlds in each sector, there is a pretty good chance that it would rhyme in more than one language.
2. You can also assume that the oath is made to rhyme in each language by allowing it to be slightly different. Songs can rhyme in different Earth languages if you aren’t so strict to try and translate it word for word, and instead just try to convey the general spirit of the passage.
3. All the Lanterns don’t speak English. Green Lantern rings have universal translators in them.
4. It’s a fucking comic book written by people who speak English. What did you expect?
150 million on marketing? Really. Boy did they fuck that one up.
I could have done that poorly for like 10 million and lunch at Chipotle.
They long ago established that the oath can vary greatly for each Lantern’s context. Alan Moore did a story in which a Lantern was recruited from a species that evolved in total darkness and found visual metaphors incomprehensible. That Lantern thought of his role as a bell and worked in auditory terms.
