Mind-Blowing Transformation: DCEU Hawkman Shocks Fans as He Transforms into Green Lantern in Upcoming DCU Reboot!

Summary

Aldis Hodge, known for his role as Hawkman in the DCEU, is being suggested for the role of John Stewart, a Green Lantern, in the upcoming Lanterns TV show.

There is uncertainty surrounding Hodge's potential return to the DC Universe, specifically as Green Lantern or Hawkman. DC Studios is keeping certain actors from the DCEU for the new DC Universe, which creates the possibility for Hodge to be included in their future projects. However, the return of DCEU actors may have restrictions, so it is unclear if Hodge will continue his adventures in the DC Universe.

Aldis Hodge is rumored to be trading his Hawkman armor for a Green Lantern ring in the upcoming DC Universe fan art. This suggests that he may be the perfect fit to play the role of John Stewart. In 2023, the DCEU will undergo a complete overhaul with the creation of the new DC Universe. Co-CEOs Gunn and Peter Safran are leading the charge in developing a plethora of DC Universe films and TV shows that fall under Chapter 1, titled "Gods and Monsters."

As DC Studios seeks to rival the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are still several roles that remain uncast, including those in the Lanterns TV show. This show will feature John Stewart and Hal Jordan as the main heroes. At this time, the only confirmed actor for a Green Lantern character is Nathan Fillion, who will be portraying Guy Gardner in Superman: Legacy.

Could Aldis Hodge Return For Gunn's DC Universe?

John is being approached by Reel Anarchy with the concept of featuring a previous DCEU star, with Hodge being suggested for the role of the iconic Emerald Knight. Created using AI and Photoshop, the artwork showcases the former Black Adam actor, who portrayed Carter Hall, also known as Hawkman in the 2022 film, as one of the main leads in the Lanterns TV series.

Due to the ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, it will take a considerable amount of time before new casting announcements are made for the DC Universe, including for the roles of Lanterns. This brings up the question of whether Hodge could make a comeback in Gunn's upcoming DC Universe, either as Green Lantern or Hawkman. Despite the fact that DC Studios is primarily rebooting the DCU, they are still retaining some actors from the DCEU in different capacities.

Fillion, who portrayed T.D.K. in The Suicide Squad, has now joined the cast of Superman: Legacy as a completely new character. Meanwhile, Viola Davis' Amanda Waller, John Cena's Peacemaker, and other Peacemaker series cast members will exist within the DC Universe continuity. These setups provide ample opportunities for Hodge to participate in future plans by DC Studios. Whether he continues as Hawkman or ventures into the Lanterns series, Hodge's involvement would be intriguing, especially considering Isabela Merced's casting as Hawkgirl in the DC Universe. Hodge's portrayal of Hawkman in Black Adam was highly acclaimed, making a potential pairing with Merced's Hawkgirl even more appealing.

However, it is possible that DC Studios may have limitations on bringing back actors from the DCEU. This could lead to decisions being made to recast Hawkman or retain Hodge as John and have him continue as a member of the Green Lantern Corps in the DC Universe. Only time will reveal whether Hodge's adventures in the DC Universe will continue or not.
