Nathan Fillion’s Jerk Green Lantern Sounds Delightfully Awful

In the realm of entertainment, the superhero genre remains a dominant and influential player. As the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) winds down and moves to streaming platforms like Max, there’s much anticipation about the direction the upcoming DC films will take in establishing their new shared universe. Kicking off this cinematic journey is the film Superman, which promises to bring a host of other characters onto the screen alongside David Corenswet’s lead character. One such character is Green Lantern’s rogue, Guy Gardner, brilliantly portrayed by Nathan Fillion. Recently, Fillion expressed how liberating it was to embody a hero who also embodies a bit of a jerkish charm.

Our knowledge about Superman is still limited, but excitement for the project continues to grow, particularly since it appears to pave the way for future Gods and Monsters series. Fans are eagerly awaiting the appearance of other DC heroes in the storyline, such as Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific, Metamorpho, and Guy Gardner. Fillion recently shared with TV Guide some insights about his upcoming role as Green Lantern.

It’s crucial to understand that being kind isn’t a prerequisite for becoming a Green Lantern; what matters is bravery. Guy Gardner, being fearless and not particularly good or nice, offers a unique challenge as an actor – the freedom to act out the most self-centered, advantageous actions in any given situation. If he has a superpower, it might be his unwavering confidence, to the point where he believes he could confront Superman. However, that’s wishful thinking on his part; he’d stand no chance!

It certainly appears to be an entertaining part he’s taken on. Contrary to characters like Superman, Green Lantern Guy Gardner isn’t renowned for his kindness. Yet, that seems to be what the Firefly actor appreciates most in his DC role. Can’t we fast-forward to July already?

As a fervent admirer, I can hardly contain my excitement about Nathan Fillion’s character squaring off against Superman! It promises an intriguing dynamic when he interacts with the rest of the Superman cast. Given his bold demeanor, it’s safe to predict that there will be some heated exchanges between him and a few other heroes throughout the film. If these disagreements escalate into physical confrontations, it would certainly make for an enthralling spectacle, especially considering the diverse abilities of the super-powered characters engaging in combat.

Fans who have followed the DC movies sequentially for years are eagerly anticipating the inclusion of the Green Lantern Corps. in the comic book storyline. Regrettably, they were largely overlooked in the DCEU, with only a fleeting appearance by a Lantern during Justice League. However, there’s also been talk of a Green Lantern series, which has been a long time in the making. In the meantime, fans are looking forward to the upcoming Superman movie, scheduled for release on July 11th as part of the 2025 film lineup.
