As a longtime comic book enthusiast and fan of both the DC and Marvel universes, I must admit that the prospect of Josh Brolin joining the Green Lantern Corps has me absolutely thrilled! Having seen Brolin’s stellar performance as Thanos in the MCU, I can only imagine the depth he would bring to the character of Hal Jordan.
It’s being rumored that Josh Brolin, known for playing the villain Thanos in Marvel movies, might switch to a green character in James Gunn’s DC Universe’s upcoming HBO series called “Lanterns”. If this is true, he would play Hal Jordan, the first Green Lantern from Earth. This role was previously played by Ryan Reynolds in 2011’s “Green Lantern”, which received a lot of criticism. However, it’s said that there won’t be much humor in the upcoming series as it’s described as being like “True Detective” but set in space with Green Lanterns serving as cosmic police officers. Fans are already curious about which part of the Lanterns storyline this could be based on if Brolin accepts the role.
Based on Brolin’s age, it seems reasonable to assume that we will encounter Jordan in a later stage of his career as a ringslinger. This period in the character’s life is marked by a grim episode where Hal was overtaken by the ominous entity of fear, Parallax. This connection resulted in the annihilation of the Green Lantern Corps and Hal sacrificing himself to free himself from it. Given this descent into darkness and the proposed intense tone of the show, could we witness Brolin portraying Jordan’s villainous transformation, and might another hero who forms part of the main “Lanterns” pursue him?
Could John Stewart be on Hal Jordan’s case in Lanterns?
After the reveal of “Lanterns,” it became clear that John Stewart will take center stage in this upcoming series. With the latest reference to Brolin, a popular theory suggests that Stewart could be the green lantern with a ring, teaming up with Jordan before he turns villainous. However, perhaps the storyline won’t follow such a straightforward path and instead, we might have two characters representing opposite sides of the color spectrum.
Could it be possible that the latest recruit in the Green Lantern Corps is assigned not to team up with Jordan, but instead to pursue him after the esteemed hero has gone missing? This twist could lead to intriguing story developments, as Stewart might find himself walking in the footsteps of the legendary Green Lantern who’s known for his unmatched prowess. Could this scenario play out as a conflict between green and yellow, with the newcomer in space force facing off against one of its most respected and honored veterans?
If this is the case, it almost certainly means that key characters from Green Lantern lore will be mentioned in the course of this space-exploring mystery story. For both Jordan and Stewart, there are two significant figures who play crucial roles not only on the Lantern corps but also within the broader DC universe. One character is already set to appear in a major segment that we’ll have encountered before the lanterns are activated.
Guy Gardner and Sinestro have get caught in the light of the Lanterns eventually
John Stewart could either team up with or clash with Hal Jordan, but there are two other Lanterns who deserve attention. One of them is Sinestro, who originally trained Jordan and was swayed by Parallax to abandon the Corps before it reached Hal. This betrayal led to a lasting enmity, making it highly likely that he’ll be mentioned on the show or even appear to stir up trouble for our pair.
After Jordan and Stewart, the character John enters the scene, who in the comics, is the third human to receive a ring following Guy Gardner. This role is set to be played by Nathan Fillion in the upcoming “Superman.” If the Green Lantern series is to play a significant role in the unified DCU, as suggested by co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, then it’s quite possible that we might see John, or at least learn more about his unique history during Jordan and Stewart’s detective story. However, this depends on Brolin accepting the role of a Green Lantern for Sector 2814, which, if he does, would be another exciting addition to the DCU, potentially elevating the Green Lantern series as a more intriguing project.
