Consistently An A-Hole

by

In the upcoming chapters of the DC Universe, it appears that Guy Gardner will have a larger role following his appearance in the Superman film. Nathan Fillion gives us a glimpse into the relationship he’ll share with other Green Lanterns. The first chapter of the DC Universe, titled “Gods and Monsters,” is set to delve into the Green Lantern Corps for the first time via the Lanterns TV series, as they were previously overlooked during the DCEU period.

In James Gunn’s forthcoming Superman movie, fans will first see Guy Gardner. But if you’re a fan of Nathan Fillion, you’ll also get to watch his Green Lantern character on television. Following his role in Peacemaker season 2, Guy will return to the DC Universe in 2026, when the series Lanterns debuts on HBO.

Recently, ScreenRant’s Ash Crossan had a chat with Nathan Fillion regarding his role in the Superman film, during which he also spoke about his impending appearance in the Green Lantern series. Since Guy will encounter both Hal Jordan and John Stewart, Fillion hinted at what fans can expect from his encounters with other Green Lanterns within the DC Universe:

In ScreenRant, it was revealed that Guy Gardner will appear among the Lanterns. Could you elaborate on his relationships with the other Green Lanterns?

Nathan Fillion: He’s the same a-hole.

ScreenRant: Okay. A-hole all around.

Nathan Fillion: Yeah. He’s nothing if not consistent. Consistently an a-hole.

What Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner Comments Mean For Lanterns

One fascinating element of the Green Lantern folklore within DC Universe is the remarkable diversity among all Green Lanterns, with standouts like Hal, John, and Guy being particularly unique. The upcoming Lanterns TV series, airing on HBO, will delve into Hal as a seasoned Green Lantern, contrasting with John who is embarking on his Green Lantern journey.

In Fillion’s situation, it seems his remarks indicate that Guy will add a comedic touch to the group’s interactions, given that he has a reputation for being somewhat difficult during filming, as depicted in the marketing of Superman. Since Guy is known as one of the more vocal Green Lanterns, this also provides an opportunity for DCU to have three Emerald Knights with distinct personalities simultaneously.

Certainly, let me rephrase that for you: Although HBO’s Lanterns presents a more serious tone, it is quite plausible that the upcoming DCU TV show will offer more room for Fillion’s DC superhero to undergo deeper character development. While Guy may have comedic elements, there are undoubtedly parts of his personality that will be delved into further as he grows within the DC Universe.

Our Take On Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner Lanterns Comments

From a diehard movie enthusiast’s perspective, I eagerly anticipate Guy’s portrayal as the mischievous Green Lantern of the DCU. However, I truly hope that the upcoming TV series will delve deeper into what fuels his character beyond mere comedic relief. Since John Fillion’s interpretation of Guy represents the first extensive exploration of this character in live-action, it is crucial that he offers a multi-dimensional portrayal that resonates with viewers.

Without revealing much about the storyline of Lanterns, it’s intriguing to anticipate how Guy’s character will integrate into the approaching DC Universe superhero series, following the events of Superman. As filming for Lanterns nears completion, we can only hope that information about season 1 of this highly anticipated DC show will be revealed more quickly.
