Stamp played butterfly collector Freddie Clegg in The Collector (1965), and in 1967 appeared in Far from the Madding Crowd, starring opposite Christie.

Fearless but reckless test pilot Hal Jordan’s life changes forever when a dying Green Lantern named Abin Sur crash-lands on Earth and passes his power ring to him. Chosen to protect Sector 2814, Hal is transported to Oa, the center of the Green Lantern Corps, where he struggles to earn the respect of thousands of veteran Lanterns. Under the harsh training of Kilowog and the guidance of the legendary Sinestro, Hal learns that willpower—not strength—is the true source of a Green Lantern’s power. As entire sectors begin falling into chaos, the Corps investigates strange outbreaks of panic and violence linked to whispers of an ancient entity called Parallax, a primordial force tied to fear itself. While Hal repeatedly proves that his imagination and determination can overcome impossible odds, Sinestro grows increasingly frustrated with what he sees as the Guardians’ weak leadership. Convinced that fear is a more effective tool than hope, he begins secretly studying forbidden knowledge hidden within Oa. When a fear-fueled energy storm reaches the Sol System, Hal defies orders and returns to Earth, using increasingly creative constructs to protect the planet from destruction. By embracing his humanity and refusing to surrender to fear, he succeeds where more experienced Lanterns failed, earning the respect of the Corps and becoming Earth’s first cosmic defender. Meanwhile, Sinestro’s faith in the Green Lantern Corps has been shattered. Believing order can only be achieved through absolute control, he quietly begins walking a darker path. Post-Credits: Deep beneath Oa, Sinestro enters a sealed chamber hidden from the Corps. There he discovers a forbidden yellow power source imprisoned by the Guardians long ago. As he reaches toward it, yellow energy erupts through the room and begins forming a new ring around his hand. Sinestro smiles as the power of fear answers his call.
