As a seasoned gamer and avid comic book fan, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming DC TV show, Lanterns! The recent casting announcements have sent shockwaves through the fandom, and I’m no exception. Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and now Aaron Pierre as John Stewart? This is a dream come true for me, a guy who spent countless hours poring over Green Lantern comics in my teenage years.


Regarding the lineup of upcoming DC TV shows, it’s worth noting that “Lanterns,” centering on the Green Lantern universe, has been advancing quite notably in recent months. Although not confirmed officially, there are strong indications that Kyle Chandler from “Friday Night Lights” will portray Hal Jordan in the HBO series. Additionally, we now have official confirmation that Aaron Pierre, known for his role in “Rebel Ridge,” has been chosen to play John Stewart. Following this news, James Gunn, one of the co-heads at DC Studios, voiced his thoughts on the matter.

Gunn frequently uses social media to verify significant news related to DC media since he assumed control at DC Studios alongside producer Peter Safran. Today, he continued this trend by announcing on his various platforms, including X (previously known as Twitter), that Pierre had landed the role of Lanterns:
