Green Lantern on HBOMax

[JD]

Of all the names that have come up so far, he'd be my favorite.

 

[Skywalker]

Clear eyes, full lanterns, can't lose.

Kyle Chandler is reportedly in talks for the role. I would not mind this casting at all.

Wow--they really are looking for an older actor. I remember watching him in the 80s. He's a half decade older than I am.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Younger than me.

 

[Avalon]

Five years younger than me. Doesn't look like he's nearly 60, though.

I just checked and he was born in '65 which makes him 60 next year. This would work in universe if Hal has spent most of his career in space with the rarest of appearances on Earth.

It also works if the DCU being set up is similar to the one immediately post-Crisis, where Superman showed up in a world already populated by superheroes.

You are probably right on that.

 

[Skywalker]

Guy Gardner is also being played by a 50-something actor, so it makes sense that they'd want a similarly aged actor for Hal.

IS NOT!

I'm only 47... Am I?

 

[Thestral]

I've been enjoying watching Kyle Chandler since Early Edition and loved him in Friday Night Lights so... wow. This instantly catapults me to wanting to see a lot more of Hal.

I’m not familiar with Stephan James but Aaron Pierre was fantastic in Rebel Ridge, so if this is the level of casting they’re considering for Jon Stewart, then count me in

‘Lanterns’: Aaron Pierre, Stephan James in the Mix to Play John Stewart in DC Studios, HBO Series

Kyle Chandler is already on board to star as classic DC character Hal Jordan.

[Commander Troi]

That site came up as blocked for me.

 

[JD]

Me too.

 

[publiusr]

A Green Lantern/Green Arrow (Hawk & Dove) deal would have been nice.

Me too.

Really? It’s The Hollywood Reporter. That’s odd.

Pierre was also very good in the late, lamented Krypton.

I know that announcing the directors for a tv show isn’t generally as exciting as casting announcements but Slow Horses is one of the most entertaining shows of the last decade, so the news that one of its directors is to direct the first few episodes of this show is very welcome to me:

Kyle Chandler is set to star as Green Lantern Hal Jordan while the casting for the co-lead enters its final stages.

His name didn't jump out at me, but I've watched almost all the shows mentioned in the article and they've all been good to great, so I'm sure he's at least a competent director.

And your latest Green Lantern is... Aaron Pierre.
