Announced as part of the first chapter of the DC Universe, “Gods and Monsters,” HBO Max is in development lantern, a new series starring Hal Jordan and John Stewart, two of the DC Universe’s most popular Green Lanterns. Since both Jordan and Stewart served in the Justice League and led the entire Green Lantern Corps in the comics, it would take two very energetic and capable actors to bring them both into the new DC Universe. Likewise, as partners protecting Area 2814, they also need to get along.
New DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran describe it as “True Detective in space“, lantern Hal Jordan and John Stewart will make their live-action debut as Oa’s first Green Lantern in the original comics. In addition, James Gunn once teased the importance of lantern will tell a bigger story gods and monstersNot only does this show more than one season, but it also highlights how important the cast is to such an important DC project. Here are some interesting casting possibilities for Green Lantern Hal Jordan and John Stewart.
Nathan Fillion/Wayne T. Carr
No stranger to criminal proceedings and suspense movies like castle And rookieNathan Fillion has long been a fan favorite in Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern. Finally, Fillion has voiced Jordan’s Green Lantern for years, both in comedies like robot chicken As well as numerous appearances in the recently concluded DC Animated Cinematic Universe and related series. Likewise, he is good friends with James Gunn and has had small and large roles in several of his projects.
Plus, Wayne T. Carr would make a great partner for Fillion’s Jordan as the definitive John Stewart, finally giving him the chance to play the part after playing the part. Alliance justice From director Zack Snyder. While he’s wearing a suit and ring for a test shoot, Carl’s version of Stewart hasn’t quite come to fruition yet, that’s HBO lantern Of course it can be fixed.
Bradley Cooper/Sterling K. Brown
Rocket Raccoon voiced at Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, it will be interesting to see Bradley Cooper in the new superhero role. Especially the scenes where he can stand in front of the camera. Thus, fearless and stubborn Hal Jordan seems like a pretty big role Cooper could play in the DC Universe.
Bradley’s role of Jordan would be even better if he was paired with Sterling K. Brown. Brown could have easily brought John Stewart’s calmer, more measured personality into live-action, while still possessing the will and fortitude as Green Lantern is known. Have some MCU experience black Panther As Killmonger’s father, Prince N’Jobu, now is the time this That’s us The star received a more prominent superhero role with Cooper.
John Krasinski/Jamie Foxx
As his role as Mister Fantastic in the MCU appears more and more Doctor Strange in the Mad Multiversemaybe John Krasinski can achieve more success as Hal Jordan in DCU. Although much has been said about his resemblance to Marvel’s Reed Richards, Krasinski certainly earth one Hal Jordan. To achieve this, Gunn announced in lantern. Krasinski not only proves he can provide dynamic intensity to any crime/mystery that DC Studios has planned lanternhe was also able to bring Jordan’s signature charm and humor to the screen.
The same thing would happen if Jamie Foxx was cast as John Stewart. The most famous role in the superhero genre is his role in awesome spiderman movies and Spider-Man: No Place To ReturnFox can certainly bring some fascinating depth to a hero like Stewart, who began his career as an architect and navy before being recruited into the Celestial Blue Lantern Corps. river. Likewise, it looks like Krasinski and Foxx will have great chemistry as secret partners who trust each other.
John Hamm/Aldis Hodge
John Hamm is another famous actor who hasn’t really broken into the superhero genre (aside from voicing Iron Man in the cartoon). Modoc comedy). So it looks like it’s only a matter of time before he gets cast as a superhero and Jordan’s Green Lantern will be at the top of the list of heroes most suited to DC. Hamm can easily portray Jordan’s attitude and charisma while being able to portray Green Lantern in his element, taking the biggest risks even in the most dangerous scenes that seem impossible.
It’s great to see Aldis Hodge teaming up with Hamm to play Stewart in the new DC Universe, and they may end up having a relationship like the two Lanterns in the comics. black adamThe protagonist’s future is uncertain Black Adam It failed at the box office. However, Aldis Hodge’s portrayal of Hawkman is often considered one of the film’s strengths, so it’s great to see Hodge continue to attack the DC hero. Also, Hodge recently voiced Stewart in the animated film Green Lantern: Watch out for my powerjust a few months ago Black Adam liberate, release, free.
Glenn Powell/John Boyega
Before being picked by Abin Sur to receive his ring and join the Green Lantern Corps, Hal Jordan was a fighter pilot, and the freedom and excitement of flying were an important part of his DNA. Core aspects of Jordan’s personality are certainly the ones that Glenn Powell could put on good after two appearances as a Navy fighter pilot in 2022, the first in his career. Top Gun: Maverick Then there is Lt. Tom Hudner in godlyPowell is the perfect embodiment of the fighter pilot mentality, as Hal Jordan is essentially a hybrid of Powell’s two roles: he’s a capable man and a loyal winger.
Likewise, the idea of John Boyega playing Stewart alongside Powell would be extremely interesting. I’ve been a John Stewart fan for a while now, at lantern Likely the perfect franchise redemption for Boyega after his unfortunate mishandling Star Wars Like the Finns. Boyega can convey the right intensity and quality to be Stewart’s male lead, and it looks like Powell and Boyega will have great chemistry as partners trying to unravel the mystery of the first chapter. of the New DC Universe.
