Josh Brolin was reportedly offered the role of Hal Jordan in the upcoming Dcu Lanterns series, but we recently learned that he had passed. Follow-up reports claimed that Ewan McGregor, Matthew McConaughey, and Chris Pine were also in contention, with Pine expected to get the offer if Brolin declined.
There have been conflicting reports about Pine being in the mix, but he appears to be the most popular choice to take on the role of the ring-slinging hero. Pine has already played a DC Comics character, Steve Trevor, in the Wonder Woman movies, but most fans don't seem to mind since the Dceu is no more.
Now, artist 21xFour has shared some new fan-art of Pine as Jordan, and he certainly looks the part.
Stephen Williams is believed to be in talks to direct the pilot, with Lucy Tcherniak rumored to be in negotiations to helm an undisclosed number of episodes.

In case you missed the news, the Dcu is currently casting for its Hal Jordan, primarily for the Lanterns series but potentially for future projects as well. Josh Brolin was the leading candidate, while rumors suggest other contenders like Ewan McGregor, Timothy Olyphant, and Chris Pine are being considered. However, with Brolin recently declining the role, the search for Hal Jordan continues, likely focusing on an older actor, as we’ve previously reported.
Now, let’s shift to John Stewart. From what we’ve gathered, John Stewart will be the primary character in Lanterns, yet there has been little talk about who will portray him—until now.
The franchise is eyeing a younger actor to play one of the most iconic Green Lanterns, and according to a trusted Hollywood insider, a frontrunner has emerged. Kelvin Harrison Jr., known for roles in Elvis and Chevalier, is rumored to be the top pick for the role.

In case you missed the news, the Dcu is presently looking for its Hal Jordan, chiefly for the Lanterns series, but possibly also for other projects down the road. The leading candidate for the part was Josh Brolin, while Ewan McGregor, Timothy Olyphant, and Chris Pine are also being considered according to rumors. We don’t know who will play Hal Jordan because Brolin recently declined the role, but it will probably be an older actor, as we have stated.
But enough about that – what about John Stewart? Based on the information we have, John Stewart is going to be the primary character in the series, yet no one is talking about this casting. But it seems that we’re done with that.

Much has been said about who will play Hal Jordan in DC Studios and HBO's Lanterns, with Avengers: Infinity War star Josh Brolin reportedly declining to wear the ring in this long-awaited reboot.
Ewan McGregor, Chris Pine, and Timothy Olyphant are all still in contention but what of John Stewart? There are plenty of fan casts but little has been said - even from the most unreliable scoopers - about who will play the fan-favourite Justice League Unlimited character.
Well, according to Daniel Richtman, Elvis star Kelvin Harrison Jr. is now being considered for the role of John Stewart.
The actor has received a Screen Actors Guild Award and nominations for a British Academy Film Award, Gotham Award, and Independent Spirit Award. Beginning his career with movies like 12 Years a Slave and Ender's Game, he's since risen to prominence for It Comes at Night, Luce, Waves, The Trial of the Chicago 7,...

DC Studios and Warner Bros. Discovery have announced a Green Lantern series as part of the DC Universe. There was initially a Green Lantern series planned for the previous DC cinematic universe, but it never came to be. But now, Lanterns is set to be a part of the new franchise and the studio is currently in the process of casting.
While we know little about it as of yet, there are so many possibilities. Green Lantern has boundless potential, given its status as DC's greatest space opera. Whether it be on Earth or throughout the multiverse, there is no limit to the Green Lantern Corps.

Many comic book characters have been brought to the big screen over the years, but there are only so many actors willing to fill those roles.
That's why a few Hollywood stars have ended up playing multiple parts across the Marvel and DC Universes, with at least some of them using the second characters they've played to turn their careers around after those disastrous first attempts.
For example, Ryan Reynolds almost killed his career by playing Green Lantern in the 2011 flop; however, he'd more than made up for that with his role in the Deadpool franchise, with this year's Deadpool & Wolverine now the highest-grossing R-Rated movie of all time.
Today, we're looking at 8 actors who have played comic book characters in poorly received superhero movies, only to later redeem themselves with far more successful performances in movies and TV show that didn't flop with fans, critics, and at the box office.

While we await word on which actors will step into the co-lead roles of John Stewart and Hal Jordan in HBO's upcoming Lanterns series, we may know who has been enlisted to direct some of the episodes.
Stephen Williams is believed to be in talks to direct the pilot, but according to Daniel Richtman, Lucy Tcherniak is also in negotiations to helm an undisclosed number of episodes.
Tcherniak has previously directed Sunny (2024), Station Eleven (2021) and The End of the F***ing World (2017).
Josh Brolin was reportedly offered the Jordan role, but we recently learned that he had passed. Follow-up reports claimed that Ewan McGregor, Matthew McConaughey, and Chris Pine were also in contention, with Pine expected to get the offer if Brolin declined.
We don't know if Pine is next in line or not, but the trades believe that McConaughey is definitely not in the mix.

When the news broke that Josh Brolin was being eyed for the role of Hal Jordan in Lanterns, it was apparent that DC Studios had some pretty unique plans for the character in the Dcu.
We've since learned that the Avengers: Infinity War star has passed on the Hbi series as has Deadpool & Wolverine's Matthew McConaughey.
This isn't overly surprising, particularly when there's still such a stigma surrounding the franchise thanks to 2011's Green Lantern.
Today, scooper @MyTimeToShineH has chimed in to claim that, "Ewan McGregor is next then Chris Pine."
So, the Obi-Wan Kenobi star is at the top of DC Studios' list and, if he says no, it's down to Star Trek's James T. Kirk. Should the Wonder Woman star also decline the offer - and he's never shown much interest in starring in another superhero project after that and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse -...

If you haven’t been keeping up with the latest updates, the Dcu is currently on the hunt for its next Hal Jordan, primarily for the Lanterns series and potentially for future projects as well. Contrary to expectations of a younger version of the character, the Dcu is seeking someone older, with all three leading candidates being over 50 years old.
Josh Brolin was initially the frontrunner for the role, with Ewan McGregor also considered as an alternative. However, Brolin has just turned down the role, leaving the identity of the new Hal Jordan still up in the air—but it will definitely be an older actor.
While this choice may surprise some fans, there is a compelling argument for why casting an older Hal Jordan could be advantageous for the Dcu. It now seems the production company has provided some insight into why they are pursuing an older version of the character.

If you haven’t been following the news, the Dcu is currently searching for its Hal Jordan, primarily for the Lanterns series, but quite possibly for later projects as well. And while everyone was expecting a younger version of the character, the Dcu is looking for someone older, as all three of the main contenders are over 50 years old.
Josh Brolin was the front-runner for the role, while Ewan McGregor was mentioned as an alternative. Brolin has just declined the role, so we don’t know who will play Hal Jordan, but it will be someone older.
Although this may come as a surprise to some, there is a strong case to be made for why casting an older Hal Jordan is beneficial for the Dcu, and it seems that the production company has just revealed why exactly they are looking for an older version of the character.

The 56-year-old No Country for Old Men actor has passed on an offer to star in Lanterns, the DC Studios series based on the superhero, according to THR.

According to multiple sources to THR, the actor “received on offer at the end of August. By the end of this past weekend, his mind was made up. No other details were available.”
Lanterns has enlisted Ozark’s Chris Mundy as the showrunner for the eight-episode series, co-written by Damon Lindelof, the creator of Lost, as well as comics author Tom King. The show is still in casting stages, and will reportedly begin filming next January to June in Atlanta.

Last week, reliable sources reported that Josh Brolin had been offered the co-lead role of Hal Jordan in the upcoming Dcu Lanterns series, but it sounds like DC Studios might need to continue the search.
According to THR, Brolin has declined the opportunity to suit-up as the veteran ring-slinging hero.
Follow-up reports claimed that Ewan McGregor, Matthew McConaughey, and Chris Pine were also in contention, with Pine expected to get the offer if Brolin passed.
We don't know if Pine is next in line or not, but the trade has heard that McConaughey is definitely not in the mix.
Fans seemed to be somewhat divided on Brolin (56) potentially taking on this role, anyway, primarily due to the Dune star's age. McGregor and McConaughey are only slightly younger at 53 and 54, respectively, but Pine is 44.

Update: Josh Brolin won’t play a space cop for DC Studios’ Lanterns series after passing on the opportunity to play the brash, cloud-slicing maverick Hal Jordan for the forthcoming HBO series. According to multiple sources, DC Studios offered Brolin the part in late August, but this past weekend, the No Country for Old Men and Avengers: Endgame actor declined. The studio gave no further details.
Did Brolin strike anyone else as an odd choice for Hal Jordan? Don’t get it twisted, I love me some Brolin, but isn’t he a little too rugged to play one of DC’s flagship Lanterns? I still think the show should center on John Stewart, but no one’s asking me. Regardless, the hunt is back for an actor to star as Hal Jordan in DC Studios’ Lanterns. Who should play Jordan now that Brolin is out of the picture? Have they cast Jessica Cruz yet?...

It’s been revealed that the part of Jordan has been offered to Josh Brolin, and while nothing has been confirmed online yet, some fans already have an idea of who they want to play former Marine John Stewart.
Aaron Pierre for John Stewart? DC Fans Kickstart Movement
With the hype surrounding the release of Netflix’s Rebel Ridge, a fancast has been going around asking for DC to consider Aaron Pierre for the role of John. Thousands of people have been reacting positively to this tweet:

There's a corner of the multiverse where Neon beat out Netflix to acquire "Hit Man" and turned the Glen Powell-Adria Arjona two-hander into the word-of-mouth theatrical hit it deserved to be. It's possible that same, better timeline is also where one of the streamer's rivals released "Rebel Ridge" in theaters instead of directly onto streaming, ensuring we would all be heralding Aaron Pierre as our next major movie star right about now.
Fortunately, Jeremy Saulnier's tension-ratcheting action-drama has managed to avoid being swallowed into the streaming void and is currently topping the Netflix charts in the U.S., which means the internet is actively in the process of fan-casting Pierre's next big project. With naught but a voice role as a young Mufasa in his "Underground Railroad" director Barry Jenkins' upcoming "Lion King" prequel on his docket, what do people have in mind for Pierre? Playing a superhero, of course!

Green Lantern has had an amazing 80 years since his arrival on the DC Comics scene back in 1940. There have been multiple heroes to hold the mantle over the years and all of them have made a memorable impression, including going up against some of DC's most evil and creative villains. The Green Lantern rogues gallery is special, because it includes a mix of both cosmic villains from space, as well as villains from Earth.
With that in mind, and the upcoming HBO series Lanterns that is set to be a part of the DC Universe, let's look back through the Lantern archives and pick some villains that should be a part of the much-anticipated TV show.

In case you haven’t been keeping up with the latest news, the Dcu is currently on the hunt for its Hal Jordan, primarily for the ‘Lanterns’ series but likely for future projects as well. While many fans anticipated a younger actor for the role, the Dcu is considering older candidates, with all three leading contenders being over 50.
Josh Brolin is a top choice for Hal Jordan, alongside other notable names like Ewan McGregor and Matthew McConaughey. Although this might surprise some fans, casting an older Hal Jordan could actually be a fantastic decision for the Dcu.
In this report, we’ll explore why choosing an older Hal Jordan makes sense for the Dcu’s direction and how Josh Brolin could be an ideal fit for the role.

In case you haven’t been following the news, the Dcu is looking for its Hal Jordan currently – primarily for the Lanterns series, but quite probably for later projects as well – and while everyone expected a younger version of the characters, the Dcu is looking for someone older, as all three main contenders are over 50 years of age.
The forerunner is Josh Brolin, who would make a great Hal Jordan, while the other candidates are Ewan McGregor and Matthew McConaughey. And while this might surprise fans, there is actually a very solid basis for us to claim that casting an older Hal Jordan is actually a great thing for the Dcu.
In this report, we are going to comment on these rumors and explain why we actually do think that an older Hal Jordan makes a lot of sense as far as the Dcu and its future are concerned, and...

Let’s talk about a rivalry that you might be ignoring. Josh Brolin vs Chris Evans. It has been more than half a decade since we have witnessed Captain America and The Mad Titan go toe-to-toe against each other, with their last appearances in Marvel’s Avengers Endgame. But for Josh Brolin and Chris Evans, the clash just transmuted into a race. A race to determine who plays the most number of comic book characters on screen.
Ladies and Gentlemen, in the right corner, we have his insane range, from being the optimistic and charming Captain America to the brooding bad boy Lucas Lee in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, we have none other than Chris Evans, and on the right corner. The Mad Titan, the Man in Black, with a rep so dark that even his Marvel roles feel straight out of DC Universe to the Marvel Jesus himself – Josh Brolin.

There's a huge amount of intrigue surrounding James Gunn's plans for the Dcu and, this week, the decision to potentially cast Avengers: Infinity War star Josh Brolin as Hal Jordan in HBO's Lanterns has raised eyebrows among fans.
The 56-year-old actor isn't exactly who the majority expected to play the iconic Green Lantern Corps member; now, though, scooper Daniel Richtman has shared some rumoured insights into DC Studios' approach to the character.
Apparently, "they're eyeing Josh Brolin because their vision for Hal Jordan is to have him as an older, gruff, no-nonsense mentor to a younger and reckless John Stewart. And as we know, Brolin excels at playing the grumpy type."
That sounds very much in line with what we'd expected and it's clear now that Gunn has some very specific plans for the Dcu's Hal.
Addressing what the filmmaker is going for beyond that character, Richtman says he's...

Robert Downey Jr embodied the aura and charisma of Iron Man, one possibly can’t imagine anyone else playing the iconic Marvel character. The actor’s portrayal of Tony Stark set the benchmark for superhero performances and boosted him to global stardom.

However, only a few know that Timothy Olyphant, a famous face in Hollywood was also considered for the role. He missed the chance of being Iron Man on screen, but a new opportunity has presented itself for the actor, and it is equally exciting.

This week, Lanterns has dominated headlines thanks to the news that Josh Brolin is being eyed to play the Dcu's Hal Jordan. Since then, we've learned that Ewan McGregor, Matthew McConaughey, Chris Pine, and Timothy Olyphant are also in the mix.
Seeing as all but one of those actors are in their 50s, the rumours have divided opinions. After 2011's disappointing Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds, fans have waited patiently to see Hal again and the prospect of him not being in his "prime" doesn't sit well with everyone.
In this feature, we're looking at the arguments for and against the Dcu's Hal Jordan being an older superhero. There are a few clear benefits to a more experienced version of the former pilot and then also some negatives which have left us concerned about the creative direction this shared world is heading in on Gunn's watch.

Earlier this week, we learned that Avengers: Infinity War and Deadpool 2 star Josh Brolin is being eyed for the role of Hal Jordan in HBO's Lanterns.
While we'd heard DC Studios wants an older actor to play the hero, the expectation had been that Hal would be in his early 40s at most; instead, the Green Lantern Corps member is clearly a veteran and will perhaps become the villainous Parallax sooner rather than later.
Following the news about Brolin, we heard yesterday evening that Ewan McGregor (Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey) and Matthew McConaughey (Deadpool and Wolverine) are also in contention for the role and Nexus Point News has just shared another update.
Apparently, Chris Pine (Wonder Woman 1984) and Timothy Olyphant (The Mandalorian) are also on DC Studios' shortlist for Hal, and while McConaughey is a contender, he's not the frontrunner if Brolin says no.

Yesterday, intriguing rumors surfaced suggesting that DC Studios is strongly considering Josh Brolin for the role of Hal Jordan in the upcoming series “Lanterns.” According to multiple insider sources, the 56-year-old actor is the studio’s top choice, but he has yet to accept the offer, and the news has been kept under tight wraps.
The “Lanterns” series is expected to focus on three prominent members of the Green Lantern Corps: Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Hal Jordan. So far, Nathan Fillion is the only confirmed Lantern in the DC Universe, having already appeared on the set of “Superman.”
All indications suggest that “Lanterns” will be a cosmic detective story, with Hal Jordan serving as a mentor to John Stewart. The studio is reportedly searching for a high-profile, younger actor to portray Stewart, but there’s been some controversy over the age of the actors considered for Hal Jordan. Many...

Hollywood heartthrob even at 54, Matthew McConaughey has already proven his supremacy in acting, acing his game across pretty much every genre ranging from rom-com to sci-fi to even crime-action. That said, he is now expanding his versatility even further, reaching out toward the superhero genre and becoming a contender for all those big-billionaire franchises out there.

Following recent reports that Josh Brolin has been offered the role of Hal Jordan in the upcoming Lanterns HBO series, we have word on two other A-list actors who may also be in contention to play the legendary ring-slinging hero.
According to Jeff Sneider, both Ewan McGregor and Matthew McConaughey are on DC Studios' radar, and will be offered the part in the event that Brolin declines.
Sneider also mentions that the series is "modelled after True Detective."
Fans appear to be somewhat divided on Brolin (56) potentially suiting-up as Jordan, primarily due to the Dune star's age. But McGregor and McConaughey are only slightly younger at 53 and 54, respectively, so the show is clearly set to introduce an older take on this character and that's all there is to it.
Emmy Award-winning Lost and Watchmen creator Damon Lindelof is working on the pilot script along with Ozark showrunner Chris Mundy and comic book writer Tom King.

The DC Universe is currently preparing for its relaunch. Under DC Studios' James Gunn and Peter Safran, the movie series will start over, kickstarting a brand new chapter in the history of DC characters on the big screen and the small screen. The franchise officially launches with animated series Creature Commandos whenever it debuts in winter of this year, before Gunn's own-directed Superman brings in the mainstream audiences in July next year.
Gunn and Safran are no strangers to both the superhero and the DC genre. The latter has been involved in a number of DC productions while the former is best known for his critically-acclaimed Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy for Marvel Studios (he also directed DC's The Suicide Squad).

It has been rumored that Josh Brolin has been offered a role in Lanterns, James Gunn’s show set in the new Dcu. The actor is expected to play the role of Green Lantern Hal Jordan, which might be signaling a twist in the tale that is hiding in plain sight.

If these rumors are true, the elder Hal Jordan could betray a slew of plots that the character could be a part of in the wiser DC universe. Given that audiences will already be introduced to Guy Gardener in Superman, and that John Stewart is set to appear in the series as Hal’s partner, the Green Lantern side of the universe might be pretty fleshed out, being revealed to us as the franchise proceeds.

Recent rumors suggest that Josh Brolin may be making a move from the MCU to the Dcu. Known for his roles as Thanos in the first few phases of the MCU and Cable in “Deadpool 2,” Brolin could be transitioning to the rival DC universe.
According to several industry insiders, Brolin is reportedly cast as Hal Jordan in the upcoming “Lanterns” TV show, which will focus on three prominent Green Lanterns: Guy Gardner, Hal Jordan, and John Stewart.
This rumor matches earlier reports suggesting that the showrunners are seeking an older actor to portray Hal Jordan as a mentor-like figure. Although Brolin seems to fit the description of an older, more seasoned Hal Jordan well, fan reactions are mixed.
Major casting news for superhero roles typically generates a wide range of responses, and in this case, the feedback has been notably divided.
Better turn that role down. I don’t want an old Hal Jordan.

Recently, one major rumor dropped that Josh Brolin is shifting his attention from MCU to the Dcu. The actor is in recent years best known for portraying the main villain of the first few phases Thanos, and portraying Cable in ‘Deadpool 2.’
Now if several industry insiders are to be believed, Brolin’s next project might be in the rival Dcu as the actor has reportedly been cast as Hal Jordan in the upcoming ‘Lanterns’ TV Show, a show focusing on three notable ‘Lanterns,’ Guy Gardner, Hal Jordan and John Stewart.
The rumor aligns with some previous rumors related to the show how the showrunners will be looking for an older actor as Hal Jordan in the show will be an older mentor-type figure. While Brolin fits the role of an older, cockier Hal Jordan perfectly, fans aren’t convinced.

The rumor aligns with some previous rumors related to the show how the showrunners will be looking for an older actor as Hal Jordan in the show will be an older mentor-type figure. While Brolin fits the role of an older, cockier Hal Jordan perfectly, fans aren’t convinced.

Josh Brolin, best known to superhero audiences as Thanos in the MCU and Cable in the “Deadpool” franchise, has reportedly joined the cast of the ‘Lanterns’ series as Hal Jordan, one of the three Lanterns featured in the show. This rumor originates from podcaster TheInSneider and Nexus Point News.
So far, neither official sources nor James Gunn have confirmed this news, which is said to be one of the studio’s most closely guarded secrets.

Yet, the scars of when Henry Cavill was ‘fired’ from playing Superman continue to ache and impact the DC fandom. After it was recently revealed that Gunn is reportedly trying to rope in Marvel star Josh Brolin to play Hal Jordan, these deep wounds were once again reopened, stirring up fresh emotions. However, fans are not seeing the vision that Gunn is trying to bring to life.

Over a decade since starring in a notorious DC flop, Josh Brolin has been asked to join the cast of Lanterns, it seems.
Because Josh Brolin is pretty uniformly excellent as an actor, his occasional forays into the world of superhero movies have rewarded us with a couple of notable Marvel characters. His taciturn take on Cable worked as a straight man to Ryan Reynolds Deadpool in 2018’s Deadpool 2, while his Thanos would be in any discussion for the greatest comic book villain of all time, no mean feat considering some of performances he’d be judged against.
2010’s Jonah Hex didn’t reach the same level of success as those other characters, with Brolin’s one collaboration with DC not really working out to anybody’s satisfaction. Still, it looks like the actor may have been offered an opportunity to finally create a definitive take on a DC character,...

It might be the Labor Day holiday here in the States, but James Gunn and his rapidly-expanding DC Universe isn't taking a single day off. While the new studio CEO is currently busy guiding his "Superman" reboot to the finish line, Gunn and his DC Studios co-head Peter Safran have also been multitasking as they further flesh out the franchise around their golden goose. One of the more high-profile projects that's being developed comes in the form of a new series titled "Lanterns," initially described as a riff on "True Detective" and one that will center primarily on the (arguably) underserved character of John Stewart. But as befitting its name, there will be various other Green Lanterns fighting for their share of screen time, not least of which will be Hal Jordan. Now, according to a new report, we have a better idea of who might be in consideration to...

We had heard that a "noteworthy name" was being sought to play veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan in the upcoming Dcu Lanterns series, and a new rumor is claiming that the studio has set its sights on a former MCU actor for the role.
According to Nexus Point News - who have broken some pretty big DC-related scoops over the past few weeks - Josh Brolin has been offered the part, though the site notes that he hasn't actually entered talks and might well decline.
Brolin is no stranger to the Cbm/superhero genre, having played Thanos in the Infinity Saga and Cable in Deadpool 2. He has also technically played a DC character in the much-maligned Jonah Hex movie.
Casting is also underway for a Black actor between 27–35 years old to play John Stewart, the younger Lantern Jordan takes under his wing.
