As a seasoned movie critic with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the fan casting for the upcoming DC Universe series, ‘Lanterns’, presented by @multiversede on Instagram, has truly caught my eye. Jensen Ackles and Aaron Pierre as Hal Jordan and John Stewart respectively, are not only perfect choices but also a testament to the power of persistence in Hollywood.
In the ongoing quest to find Hal Jordan and John Stewart for the upcoming Lanterns series in the revamped DC Universe, a fan has proposed two highly promising candidates. With Josh Brolin declining the role of Hal Jordan in the forthcoming True Detective-esque series, fans are once again engaged in discussions about who should portray these characters. Names like Glen Powell, James Marsden, Justin Hartley, John David Washington, John Boyega, and Daniel Kaluuya have been floated as potential picks for the respective roles. However, this fan has put forward a compelling case for the lead of Netflix’s smash hit action film Rebel Ridge and one of The Boys’ stars to take on these roles instead.
A post on Instagram by @multiversede features Jensen Ackles and Aaron Pierre in the roles of Hal Jordan and John Stewart respectively. For years, fans have hoped to see Ackles as Hal Jordan, a dream he nurtured during his time on Supernatural, but it’s his recent performance on the superhero series The Boys that has sparked even greater excitement. Aaron Pierre, relatively new to the fan-casting debate, gained momentum after his standout role in the Netflix action thriller Rebel Ridge. This gripping series combines a captivating mystery with high-octane action, making it an ideal fit for the dynamic duo of Green Lanterns.
Jensen Ackles has often been suggested by fans as a suitable choice for DC Comics characters, and for quite some time now, he’s been one of the top picks to become the next Batman. His role as Batman was further emphasized when his character on Supernatural famously said “I’m Batman” in the show’s third season.
What’s Going on With DC Studios’ Lanterns Series
The identity of the actors playing the roles in Lanterns remains unclear at this moment. The announcement that Josh Brolin was offered a role ignited debate on the internet, but later he declined the part, leaving fans speculating about who might take on the main characters in the show known as Lanterns. At the same time rumors emerged about DC Studios considering Matthew McConaughey and Ewan McGregor for alternative roles. However, neither actor has commented on whether these reports are accurate or not.
It’s been hinted that the potential cast for the series Lanterns implies a significant detail: DC Studios appears to be seeking an older version of Hal Jordan, who was portrayed by Ryan Reynolds in 2011, but that version of the character differed greatly from his comic book counterpart. Given that HBO’s Lanterns series is rumored to draw inspiration from True Detective, fans are speculating that Hal Jordan might be depicted as a seasoned veteran within the Lantern Corps, while John Stewart could take on the role of a new recruit learning the ropes.
Lanterns
is scheduled to release as an HBO Original sometime in 2025.
