Lanterns: Everything we know about the upcoming DCU HBO series (gun-wielding John Stewart spotted on set)
Casting, plot rumors, development details, and more about the new Green Lantern series from the DCU and HBO. The post Lanterns: Everything we know about the upcoming DCU HBO series (gun-wielding John Stewart spotted on set) appeared first on JoBlo.
What Do We Know About the upcoming DCU original series Lanterns? More thank you may think. The HBO series will be the first live-action project on television from James Gunn’s rebooted DC cinematic universe. With casting announcements, rumors, and more, we know a lot of what is to come. So, let’s jump in and discuss Lanterns.
We will see multiple Green Lanterns
While we met several members of the Green Lantern Corps in the Ryan Reynolds-led feature film, this new series is intentionally plural, as we will meet more than just Hal Jordan. According to James Gunn, Lanterns will center on Jon Stewart, who briefly appeared in Zack Snyder’s Justice League in a non-speaking role. We also know that James Gunn’s longtime friend and collaborator Nathan Fillion is portraying Lanterns hero Guy Gardner in the upcoming Superman movie and will potentially appear.
Kyle Chandler is Hal Jordan, but it was almost Josh Brolin
Many casting rumors were bandied about, with the Mayor of Kingstown and Friday Night Lights star Kyle Chandler being officially linked to the role of Hal Jordan. We previously had heard that Josh Brolin was offered the role but turned it down. Rumors have also circled around Matthew McConaughey and Ewan McGregor for the Jordan role, which is expected to be that of an established Lantern rather than the origin story we saw in the 2011 film.
Aaron Pierre will play the role of John Stewart
John Stewart was the next major character needing to be cast, and reports had it down to two contenders. Aaron Pierre, who recently starred in the Netflix action movie Rebel Ridge, and Stephan James, star of Homecoming, were both up for the lead role in Lanterns. Reports also had Snowfall actor Damon Idris in contention, but was removed from the running for the role. In the comics, Stewart has become the most powerful Green Lantern ever, but the series looks poised to set him as a rookie in the Corps learning how to wield a Power Ring under the mentorship of Hal Jordan. With Pierre landing the role, it was only a matter of time for the rest of the ensemble to fall into place.
