Kyle Chandler Cast as Hal Jordan in DC and HBO's 'Lanterns' Series

As a long-time fan who has witnessed Kyle Chandler‘s exceptional acting prowess in shows like “Friday Night Lights,” I am beyond thrilled to see him take on the role of Hal Jordan in “Lanterns.” His ability to portray complex characters with depth and emotion makes him the perfect choice for this mentor-mentee dynamic.

On the forthcoming collaboration between DC and HBO, Kyle Chandler from “Friday Night Lights” has been confirmed to play the character of Hal Jordan in the series titled “Lanterns“.

The Hollywood Reporter disclosed that the upcoming show features Hal Jordan training John Stewart, a younger Green Lantern character who’s one of DC Comics’ initial Black superheroes. The narrative follows these two characters as they probe an Earth murder with broader implications, with the series sharing a tone similar to True Detective.

As a gaming enthusiast diving into the world of DC comics, I’m eagerly awaiting news on who will bring John Stewart to life. It seems they’re looking for a youthful, vibrant actor to create a dynamic contrast with the seasoned Chandler, making the cast even more intriguing!

Initially, DC considered casting a well-known actor such as Josh Brolin for the part, but he declined the offer. Additionally, there were rumors suggesting that actors like Chris Pine and Ewan McGregor might have been considered for the same role, which eventually went to Chandler.

The series titled “Lanterns” is being developed by showrunners Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King. They are responsible for the writing and executive production of this upcoming project. However, further details like the complete cast and a definite release date have not been disclosed yet.
