Every Green Lantern Confirmed To Appear In James Gunn's Rebooted DC Universe
Jaxson Derr recently unveiled his portrayal of how Ehrenreich would appear if he were chosen to play Hal Jordan, one of the renowned Green Lanterns, in Gunn's highly anticipated DC Universe production. Despite not currently being signed on with DC Studios, Ehrenreich is poised to make a grand entrance into the world of superheroes in 2024. He is set to take on the lead role in the upcoming Ironheart series, which will be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Despite the absence of any Green Lantern movie in progress, the beloved Emerald Knights will continue to make their presence felt on both the big and small screens within the DC Universe. While Greg Berlanti's planned Green Lantern TV show has been abandoned in favor of DC Studios' Lanterns series, fans can still look forward to an enthralling drama inspired by True Detectives, which will center around the iconic characters Hal and John Stewart. Although specific details of the plot are being closely guarded secrets, Gunn has hinted at a captivating mystery that will intertwine with the overarching narrative of the diverse array of movies and television shows.
Prior to the introduction of John and Hal, fans will first encounter a different Green Lantern in the DC Universe - Guy Gardner, who will appear in Superman: Legacy. Though the extent of Guy's role is unknown, Nathan Fillion, known for his portrayal of T.D.K in The Suicide Squad film, has been chosen to play this iconic DC hero. Fillion has previously voiced Hal in various DC animated projects. It remains to be seen if Guy will appear in Lanterns, but considering DC Studios' emphasis on connected projects, Fillion may make a guest appearance for an episode or two.
It will be fascinating to see how director Gunn will incorporate the Green Lanterns into the DC Universe, and how he will handle the other Lantern factions and their place within the universe. The Lanterns TV show has the potential to establish a long-running sci-fi drama that explores the entirety of the mythology over several years. Updates regarding Lanterns are eagerly awaited as the release of DCU Chapter 1, "Gods and Monsters," draws nearer.
