Jason Ritter may not be playing a member of the fabled Green Lantern Corps in Lanterns, the upcoming Max series adaptation of DC Comics’ Green Lantern mythos, but he wants you to know he’s eager to don the power ring if called to duty.

“I have to say, personally for me, being a fan of Green Lantern growing up, getting to see the ring in person was cool to me,” Ritter told Gold Derby about admiring the intergalactic peacekeepers’ iconic emerald ring on set. “I haven't quite gotten to the point where I am like, ‘Can I try that on?’ I'm hoping to at some point to just try it on, say the oath really quick, see what happens.”

Ritter plays Billy Macon, a character who may or may not have roots in the comic book canon. Macon is married to a dutiful small-town sheriff (Kelly Macdonald) and is...

When CBS first ordered a "Matlock" reboot back in 2023, the decision may have been a head-scratcher to some. Even aside from the fact that most of the cast of the original "Matlock" have passed away and their fans were likely nearing 60 years of age at least, the television landscape is already so crowded with courtroom dramas that an addition of this kind could understandably feel unnecessary. Speaking for those of us who held that opinion back then, we're happy to have been proven wrong.

"Matlock" is an unexpectedly fresh TV show with a unique perspective on the legal procedural genre, buoyed by a cast that flaunts comedic and dramatic talent in equal measure. This doesn't come as too much of a surprise if you recognize them from previous films and television shows, which include some of the best comedies and dramas TV has ever seen. From "The Office" and "Pitch Perfect...

Jason Ritter has confirmed that he'll be playing a comedic role in Lanterns.

The actor recently spoke to Forbes about a number of topics but briefly touched on his current work, which is portraying Billy Macon in HBO and Max's Lanterns.

Said Ritter, "We’ve shot four episodes so far and we’re about to start shooting episodes three and four. We’re doing it all a little out of order. The story is kind of jumping all around, but it’s been so fun and it’s a really well-written, really fun show. I’m just trying to fit into that world and maybe put a little silliness in there."

There's rumors that the Macon family are really the Hand family and that Lanterns will dive into the origins of William Hand aka Black Hand before he becomes the undead embodiment of death and herald of Nekron. Fans are...

"Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose." Friday Night Lights' motto never gets old, especially as a new generation gets introduced to a reimagining of the hit series. In December, Peacock ordered a Friday Night Lights reboot, and although it is still uncertain if any of the Og cast members will return, Connie Britton did share a word of advice for the new cast. The actress, who played Tami Taylor in both the film adaptation and the 2008 series, recently told Colliderthat she might have no clue about the upcoming Peacock production, but her greatest hope is that whoever is a part of it might have just as much of a special experience as she did with the Og ensemble.

"I don't know anything about the new show, but what was great about our show is that there's something about creating from the ground up that is just so exciting. You feel...

HBO's long-awaited Green Lantern series is currently in production, and it seems filming is moving forward smoothly without any major hiccups. Lanterns, which stars Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler, is the first live-action series set in James Gunn's rebooted DC Universe, which debuts on the big screen this summer with Superman. The True Detective-inspired show follows two Green Lanterns investigating a murder mystery in America's heartland, which could have major repercussions for the rest of the Dcu.

During an interview with Forbes, Jason Ritter, who plays Billy Macon in Lanterns, revealed the current production status for the upcoming HBO series. He confirmed that Lanterns was halfway through filming its first season, with four episodes completed thus far. Additionally, he reveals that it is a "really well-written, really fun show," the latter of which is in contrast to how the grounded sci-fi drama has been described thus far. Ritter's...

It’s been a relatively quiet year for A24 so far, but one of the studio’s upcoming films just got an exciting new look. A24 has debuted the first trailer for Sorry, Baby, the upcoming drama starring Eva Victor, who will also make her screenwriting and directorial debut on the film.

It’s been just over a month since it was reported that Colin Farrell would star in the Dcu’s Sgt. Rock movie from Luca Guadagnino, but now things have come to a screeching halt. THR is reporting that Sgt. Rock is no longer moving forward before it ever began production. James Gunn mentioned during a DC event earlier this year with Collider in attendance that there had been some trouble getting the project off the ground. THR also included in their report that Mike Faist, who previously starred in Challengers for Guadagnino, was also in talks to star in the project. It was in pre-production in England and was planning to begin shooting this summer. It’s unclear at the time why the project was scrapped, but it’s the first under Gunn to receive the ax.

Before Colin Farrell signed on for Sgt. Rock, it was Daniel Craig...

Earlier this year, we got our first look at Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in the upcoming Netflix thriller The Rip, and now we have another look at the grizzled appearance of the two buddies who star in the crime film that examines the things people do for money. This marks Damon and Affleck's first time on screen together since 2023's Air, though the duo have collaborated on numerous projects since then, including The Accountant 2, which Affleck starred in and Damon executive produced.

The new images from The Rip (seen below) come courtesy of the trailer for Netflix's 2025 Tudum celebration that takes place on May 31, and show the bearded actors decked out in bullet-proof vests, with Affleck wielding a firearm.

Throughout Young Sheldon, the fans have come across certain memorable characters who were important in Sheldon Cooper’s growth in the show. McKenna Grace’s Paige Swanson, a child prodigy like Sheldon, was such a character. Many fans were dissatisfied when the fan-favorite Sheldon rival never got her deserved farewell.

After Young Sheldon ended with its seventh season last year, many fans felt that McKenna Grace should have gotten a more ideal ending. Some popular theories also suggested a dark fate for Paige Swanson. But one of the showrunners, Steve Holland, confirmed that Grace’s absence from the final season had nothing to do with CBS but her storyline in the show.

Over 24 hours, a swirl of rumors emerged that actor Garrett Dillahunt was going to be playing Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow in the Dcu seriesLanterns, but DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn has put that rumor to rest. Dillahunt joined the cast of Lanterns in November 2024, where it was confirmed that he was playing a new character, William Macon. He has been described as a modern-day cowboy who is a conspiracy-minded, self-righteous individual hiding behind a charming facade. On Apr. 24, 2025, in a now-deleted Instagram post, Dillahunt shared a series of photos of himself wearing what looked like a Green Arrow costume with the caption "Ollie Ollie oxin free" alongside some storyboard images.

The now-deleted post quickly spread like wildfire, and when DC Studios co-president James Gunn was asked on Threads if Dillahunt was playing Green Arrow in Lanterns, he responded, "Haha no." Dillahaunt made a separate post clearing up the confusion,...

Sorry, DC fans, but Green Arrow will not be making his DC Universe debut in Lanterns. DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn recently shot down a rumor circulating the web that claimed that Lanterns star Garret Dillahunt was secretly playing the fan-favorite archer in the HBO series.

The rumor began circulating after Dillahunt shared a now-deleted Instagram post featuring a photo of himself as the Emerald Archer, along with some storyboard shots. With the actor having been previously cast as William Macon, "a self-righteous, conspiracy-minded man who masks his ruthless ambition behind a charming and calculated facade," in Lanterns, many fans quickly took to the idea that William Macon was being used as a placeholder name to keep Green Arrow's Dcu debut a secret.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. After a fan asked on Threads if Dillahunt was actually...

Yesterday, some images posted by Lanterns actor Garrett Dillahunt sparked speculation that the Deadwood and Last House of the Left star might be set to play Oliver Queen in the upcoming HBO series.

When Dillahunt's casting was announced, he was said to be playing a character named William Macon, who was described as "a self-righteous, conspiracy-minded man who masks his ruthless ambition behind a charming and calculated facade."

It's easy enough to understand why fans might have assumed that he's really playing Ollie - the actor appeared in costume as Green Arrow in some behind-the-scenes photos and storyboard shots, after all - but whatever his reasons for sharing the since-deleted Insta post, it doesn't look like he'll be suiting up as the Emerald Archer in the Dcu.

When asked if there was any truth to the rumor that Dillahunt might have been cast as Ga on Threads, DC Studios co-head...

We’re only a few months away from the release of Superman, the first tentpole film in James Gunn’s Dcu, but the universe has already begun to take shape beyond its debut movie. One of the projects already announced and kicked into production is Lanterns, the Max original series that will see Rebel Ridge star Aaron Pierre step into the role of John Stewart, with Friday Night Lights star Kyle Chandler set to star opposite him as Hal Jordan. No Country for Old Men veteran Garrett Dillahunt sparked rumors that he had been cast as the Dcu’s Green Arrow/Oliver Queen after sharing some concept art of himself as the character, but James Gunn recently took to his personal Threads account to debunk this theory by responding to a fan who asked if it was true, simple saying “Haha, no.”

Ryan Reynolds has never shied away from letting the world know that he hated Green Lantern. The 2011 movie was a critical and commercial flop that very nearly killed the actor's career (he wouldn't regain his leading man status in Hollywood until after Deadpool's release in 2016). 

During a recent appearance at the Time 100 Summit in New York City, Reynolds admitted that Green Lantern is his 2-year-old son Olin's "favourite movie," and explained that he "learned all the most amazing lessons I could ever have in the creative space from that movie."

Elaborating on the latter point, Reynolds said, "A lot of people when they talk about things, they frame it like a Ted Talk or something, where it's like, 'I knew at the time.' I realized I was internalizing these ideas but I couldn't have told you at the time, 'This is what it is.' But too much money,...

The infamous DC superhero film, Green Lantern, remains a big stain on the otherwise celebrated career of acclaimed actor Ryan Reynolds, who has openly mocked it without apology for many years. However, it seems Reynolds has a soft spot for the derided movie, claiming he "learned all the most amazing lessons" from it.

Speaking at the Time 100 Summit (via People), Reynolds spoke positively about Green Lantern, revealing that the Warner Bros. film is his two-year-old son's "favorite movie." Despite the movie having been the bane of his existence in Hollywood, Reynolds believes the creative misfires from the film made him better as an actor. According to Reynolds, he "learned all the most amazing lessons I could ever have in the creative space from that movie." He added that the big-budget film taught him that constraint is the biggest factor that propels creativity.

"A lot of people when they talk about things,...

Mckenna Grace has volunteered for The Hunger Games. The actress has joined the cast of prequel film “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” as Maysilee Donner, Haymitch Abernathy’s fellow District 12 Tribute.

She joins a cast that also includes Joseph Zada, who will play Haymitch, and Whitney Peak, who will play Haymitch’s girlfriend, Lenore Dove Baird.

“Sunrise on the Reaping” takes place 25 years before the events of the first book and movie and, like the earlier films, is based on a novel by Suzanne Collins, which was published just last month. The film, like the book, follows a young Haymitch (previously played by Woody Harrelson in the original trilogy) as he competes in the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the second Quarter Quell.

The film will be directed by Francis Lawrence, who directed both parts of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay” and recent prequel “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

A new set of photos may have revealed a secret DC hero already cast in James Gunn's Dcu. Lanterns star Garret Dillahunt teased fans on social media with a new Instagram post that some have taken to mean he is playing Green Arrow alongside Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre in the super-powered HBO series. 

Instagram

Dillahunt shared several images dedicated to the here on his Instagram Story (via Dcu Updates on X), including a storyboard seemingly featuring the actor dressed like the iconic DC superhero. He then followed this up with what looks to be a straight-up shot of him as Oliver Queen (aka Green Arrow), leading many to believe he has secretly been cast as the comic book character.

Deadline reports that Paul Ben-Victor has joined the cast of HBO’s Lanterns for what will be a key recurring role as a mysterious extraterrestrial.

The actor will play Antaan, “an extraterrestrial devoted to exposing the truth and exacting vengeance against those who wronged his people. Consumed by a deep and unrelenting hatred for the law, he is determined to deliver justice on his own terms.” While the name is different, fans believe that the character is actually Atrocitus, a character who was forced to witness the death of his wife and children (as well as nearly every living being in his sector) after a rampage of rogue Manhunters. He becomes the leader of the Red Lantern Corps and swears vengeance against the Guardians of the Universe and all who serve them.

Lanterns has been filming for a while at this stage, but we have word on yet another late addition to the cast of the DC Studios/HBO series.

Deadline reports that veteran actor Paul Ben-Victor (Nobody Wants This) is set for a key recurring role as Antaan, "an extraterrestrial devoted to exposing the truth and exacting vengeance against those who wronged his people. Consumed by a deep and unrelenting hatred for the law, he is determined to deliver justice on his own terms."

Antaan isn't an established DC Comics character, and based on the description above, there's speculation that Ben-Victor could actually be playing Atrocitus.

Introduced in Green Lantern vol. 4 #25 back in 2008, Atros witnessed the deaths of his wife and children when the rogue Manhunters laid waste to Space Sector 666. Renaming himself "Atrocitus", he and four survivors formed a terrorist cabal known as the Five Inversions, who made it their...

Accomplished character actor Paul Ben-Victor is joining the Dcu in the upcoming HBO seriesLanterns, and he might be secretly playing a fan-favorite DC villain. Lanterns is currently filming, aiming for a 2026 premiere date that will likely come before the release of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Even though Lanterns has been described as an Earth-bound mystery involving Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), that doesn't mean intergalactic threats won't find their way into the series.

Deadline reports that actor Paul Ben-Victor has signed on for a recurring role in the Dcu's Lanterns. Ben-Victor is best known for his roles on hit television shows like The Wire, Entourage, and Nobody Wants This, as well as a memorable role in the 2003 film Daredevil.

Lanterns is one of the most exciting upcoming superhero shows. It is based on the Green Lantern comic book characters and will focus on Hal Jordan and John Stewart. The show will follow the two heroes as they work together to solve a murder mystery on Earth. Inspired by shows like True Detective and Slow Horses, Lanterns will have a dark and serious tone.

The series is part of the new DC Universe, also known as the Dcu, and will be the third show in this new connected world. Kyle Chandler plays Hal Jordan, and Aaron Pierre plays John Stewart.

Not much is known about the plot currently, and we don’t have much in terms of set leaks, but recently Stunt Coordinator Justin Reiner shared a video portraying how Hal and John will be able to fly in the show.

Netflix is cranking out new shows every single week. It's easy to miss something that you might love. While many Netflix shows benefit from word-of-mouth promotion, a lot of good Netflix shows slip through the cracks and don't get in front of the right viewers. Even as the biggest streaming service in the world, Netflix still has a problem informing its users about the original shows they might like.

I've been covering Netflix for a long time, and I wanted to share a few good Netflix shows that most people haven't seen yet. By now, most of the shows are at least a few months old. Some are even a few years old at this point, but they still make for a good watch on Netflix.

So, if you're looking for a good Netflix show to watch right now, we have a list of six picks for you! Let's get...

Here's a couple of quick Dcu updates for longtime DC Comics fans this evening.

Up next, a cover for a tie-in Superman children's novel has been revealed and it provides a new look at the mysterious Hammer of Boravia. With the cover highlighting Superman's 'Friends and Foes', it seems that Hawkgirl is the friend and the Hammer would be the foe.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have been friends since they were in elementary school, and now they’re bringing that friendship to Netflix. The duo are reteaming for new crime thriller The Rip, from writer-director Joe Carnahan. Also coming along for the ride are Steven Yeun, Kyle Chandler, Teyana Taylor, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Sasha Calle; the film will be produced by Artists Equity, the artist-led studio that Damon and Affleck founded in 2022.

“Working with Matt and Ben and having two, distinctly talented filmmakers, as both creative allies and the studio heads, wound up being the best of both worlds,” Carnahan tells Tudum. “I've never had as easy an experience on a movie as I had on The Rip. They took exceptionally good care of me and backed my decisions every step of the way.”

Damon and Affleck met as neighbors in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and quickly became...

We’re just over three months away from the release of James Gunn’s Superman, and what might be the biggest superhero tentpole of the year just got an exciting new look. Funko has officially announced its first new lines of collectibles from the movie, including new Pops for David Corenswet’s Superman, Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, and even Krypto. Krypto the Superdog made his debut in the first trailer for Superman that was released near the end of last year, and he is set to be a major figure in the film and potentially in the Dcu going forward. Each of the new figures is expected to go up for sale on both Amazon and the official Funko website today, and they retail for $11.99.

If you’re looking for good movies streaming this month, you’re going to find a treasure chest on Hulu. The streaming service regularly has a healthy selection of new releases, classics and hidden gems, but April is positively jam-packed with all of the above. From one of the best horror movies of last year to a Scorsese classic that’s only become more relevant with time — and a pair of 2024 thrillers that slipped under the radar, here’s a hand-picked selection of the best new movies on Hulu in April.

Hulu is getting a trio of 2024 IFC Films/Shudder movies in April (“Azrael” and “In a Violent Nature” are the other two), and “Oddity” is easily the crown jewel of the batch — and of Shudder’s 2024 lineup. Carolyn Bracken stars as Dani, a blind psychic medium and owner of a curio shop,...

Since its beginning, Lanterns has billed itself as a mystery series similar to True Detective. Speaking with THR, Lanterns director James Hawes believes those comparisons are valid, but adds that the Green Lantern series will have a little more humour.

“Talking tone, it looks and feels rooted. You meet two guys, but there is wit and comedy to it that you would not expect in True Detective,” Hawes said. “It is, in many ways, a buddy cop structure with travel in the story time, to and fro, that is really sophisticated. Chris Mundy has done the most amazing job with the team there, and so I think [the True Detective comparison] is valid. People will still go, ‘What were you talking about?’ to some extent, but I would also bring in No Country for Old Men, Fargo and things that have that Americana heart to them. There’s a wry humor, and so there...

With Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone coming to a conclusion last year, Western fans have been looking to fill the gap left in its wake, and Netflix may have them covered thanks to Ransom Canyon. The new series starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly launches April 17 on the streaming platform, and it's based on the novels by Jodi Thomas. Though every Western these days is going to be compared to the Sheridan series, creator April Blair says that's not exactly what she's going for with Ransom Canyon, which she instead says combines some of the steamy elements of Bridgerton with a dash of Friday Night Lights.

Speaking to the New York Post, Blair had high praise for Sheridan as a creator, calling him a "once-in-a-generation writer that redefined contemporary westerns." That being said, Ransom Canyon is something she's always wanted to do, and while Sheridan's hit show may have given her the push to move forward,...

Nathan Fillion’s beloved police procedural just got a thrilling new look ahead of a new episode’s debut tomorrow.

With production underway on Lanterns, one of the most anticipated titles from the new Dcu slate, director James Haweshas offered fans a new peek at what to expect from the Hal Jordan and John Stewart-led series — and it sounds like a lot more than just True Detective with Green Lanterns. Hawes, while walking the red carpet for the premiere of his new thriller The Amateur, took a moment to speak to The Hollywood Reporter about his other high-profile gig: directing the first two episodes of Lanterns for HBO.

And while comparisons to True Detective have been tossed around since the show's initial announcement, Hawes insists there's more emotional range — and even some unexpected humor — at play within the cosmic chaos and crime set to unfold.

“It looks and feels rooted. You meet two guys [Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart], but there is wit...

From the visionary minds of James Gunn and Peter Safran comes one of the Dcu's most eagerly awaited projects: Lanterns. This upcoming television series, a cornerstone of Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, is currently in production and promises to redefine the Green Lantern mythos.

The series boasts a powerful cast, with Kyle Chandler stepping into the emerald boots of Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre embodying the unwavering John Stewart. Adding a spark of familiar energy, Nathan Fillion is confirmed to appear as the irrepressible Guy Gardner.

The stellar supporting cast includes Ulrich Thomsen as the menacing Sinestro, Kelly Macdonald as the enigmatic Sherrif Kerry, Garret Dillahunt as William Macon, Poorna Jagannathan as Zoe, Nicole Ari Parker bringing to life John Stewart's mother, Bernadette, Jason Ritter as Billy Macon, and Sherman Augustus portraying John Stewart's father, John Sr.

The first two crucial episodes will be helmed by the seasoned director James Hawes,...

For two decades, James Hawes has quietly been one of the industry’s most accomplished television directors. He’s always exhibited a knack for genre storytelling, but season one of the Gary Oldman-led Slow Horses reaffirmed how he can effectively add an unexpected wrinkle to a well-trodden genre like the spy thriller. That prowess now extends to his second feature film, and first major studio film, The Amateur, starring Oscar winner Rami Malek.

The British filmmaker presents the elegant look and feel of a Jason Bourne or Jack Ryan movie, only he’s chronicling an underestimated CIA analyst character in Charlie Heller (Malek) who has no choice but go out into the field himself. Adapted by screenwriters Ken Nolan and Gary Spinelli, Hawes’ reimagining of Robert Littell’s 1981 novel tracks Charlie’s defiant globe-trotting pursuit of the terrorists who killed his wife, Sarah (Rachel Brosnahan).

The updated take has...

The early 2010s were filled with high-concept genre shows made in the wake of the monumental medium-changing success of "Lost." Shows like "FlashForward," "Revolution," or "The Event" had ambitious concepts and big mysteries but failed to capture the essence of what made "Lost" successful — hint, it wasn't just the mysteries.

One show from that wave was "Terra Nova." There were many reasons to believe this show would be a big hit. The cast included Stephen Lang, hot off the astonishing success of James Cameron's first "Avatar" movie. It boasted having none other than Steven Spielberg as an executive producer. Oh, and it was a TV show about people going back in time and battling dinosaurs.

That's right. Steven "I directed 'Jurassic Park' and changed blockbuster cinema forever" Spielberg executive produced a TV show about dinosaurs. Sure-fire hit, right? The CGI was pretty good, it had Carnotaurus eating people alive,...

Superman is fast approaching, and new merchandise for the movie has revealed a detailed look at Guy Gardner's Green Lantern Corps ring. The hero, played by Nathan Fillion, will be part of Maxwell Lord's Justice League team, alongside Hawkgirl and Mister Terrific.

The rings have been portrayed in countless ways across comics, animation, and live-action; this one looks very ancient and has the Corps logo in the middle alongside a central jewel that appears to be its main power source.

Whether every member of the Green Lantern Corps will have rings that look like this remains to be seen, though it's possible they'll be personalised for each character.

The recent sneak peek for Superman - you can watch it here - appeared to show Guy fighting whatever that glowing orb above Metropolis is. Between that and set photos, we expect to see plenty of Green Lantern action in the upcoming DC Studios reboot.

What Do We Know About the upcoming Dcu original series Lanterns? More thank you may think. The HBO series will be the first live-action project on television from James Gunn’s rebooted DC cinematic universe. With casting announcements, rumors, and more, we know a lot of what is to come. So, let’s jump in and discuss Lanterns.

We will see multiple Green Lanterns

While we met several members of the Green Lantern Corps in the Ryan Reynolds-led feature film, this new series is intentionally plural, as we will meet more than just Hal Jordan. According to James Gunn, Lanterns will center on Jon Stewart, who briefly appeared in Zack Snyder’s Justice League in a non-speaking role. We also know that James Gunn’s longtime friend and collaborator Nathan Fillion is portraying Lanterns hero Guy Gardner in the upcoming Superman movie and will potentially appear.

James Gunn has weighed on what he thinks makes David Corenswet the perfect choice to play Superman. We’re now officially less than 100 days away from the release of Superman, which will introduce the world to the Twisters and Pearl star as the new Man of Steel. All signs point to Corenswet being the perfect choice to bring Clark Kent to life, but he will certainly have his work cut out for him taking over the role from Henry Cavill. During a recent interview with Time Magazine, Gunn revealed the one condition that any actor had to agree to before taking on the role, and also confirmed what made him ultimately decide to go with Corwenswet over the several other people also auditioned:

"They treated everyone with kindness and respect. I’ve seen sets that cater to an actor or director’s ego and that’s just not something that would happen with David.

James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Studios productions are going along smoothly. Besides Superman's presence at CinemaCon this week, which is in the editing process, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is currently filming, as it's also set to meet its June 2026 release date. Besides the feature films, the DC Universe is also steadily growing on the television front, with Peacemaker Season 2 in post-production and Creature Commandos Season 2 greenlit. However, one of the most exciting projects that just started filming is Lanterns, the HBO series centered around two Green Lanterns investigating a murder mystery on Earth. New set photos for the series have dropped, showing one of the stars in a precarious situation.

The DC Film news account on X posted photos taken by Ed Stanton, depicting Aaron Pierre (Rebel Ridge) as John Stewart in the middle of an action sequence. Interestingly, rather than being in a Green Lantern uniform, the...

Lanterns is currently shooting in Atlanta, and while we've already had a first official look at the Dcu's Hal Jordan and John Stewart, the latter - portrayed by actor Aaron Pierre - has now been spotted on set.

Once again, his superhero costume is nowhere to be found. We can't even see John's Green Lantern Corps Power Ring, and his carrying a gun into battle suggests he might not have it for some reason.

Fans have wondered how Lanterns will portray these heroes, particularly on a television budget. HBO doesn't shy away from investing heavily in its offerings, but several episodes of CG-heavy Green Lantern action would soon add up; depowering Hal and John for a while might help.

While Lanterns has been described as a grounded story, Superman star, Nathan Fillion, has been confirmed to return as Guy Gardner.

"This is James Gunn. He's amazing, he's huge, he's world famous,...

HBO's Lanterns series is still ever-expanding after recently adding Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner into the fold. Per Deadline, Lawman: Bass Reeves star Chris Coy is now the latest addition to the upcoming Green Lantern drama series in a guest-starring role. He's set to embody a mysterious new character by the name of Waylon Sanders, described as "an intelligent survivor or a nervous truck driver." If that wasn't confusing enough, his real name and age remain an enigma, and he's said to be "unbound by the laws of nature." It's unclear what role he'll play and whether he'll be a friend or a foe to Lantern recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and legend Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler).

Coy boards a group that has grown significantly in recent weeks, with Kelly MacDonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Ulrich Thomsen, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Sherman Augustus, J. Alphonse Nicholson, and Jason Ritter among those on board thus far.

Exclusive: Chris Coy has joined the cast of HBO’s upcoming drama series Lanterns, based on the Green Lantern DC comic.

In a guest starring role, Coy will play the new character of ‘Waylon Sanders,’ an intelligent survivor or a nervous truck driver. Age and real name unknown, he’s unbound by the laws of nature.

He joins the previously announced cast: Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre, Kelly MacDonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Ulrich Thomsen, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Sherman Augustus, J. Alphonse Nicholson, Jason Ritter and Nathan Fillion.

The series, from Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof and Tom King, follows new recruit John Stewart (Pierre) and Lantern legend Hal Jordan (Chandler), two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.

HBO produces the eight-episode series Lanterns in association with Warner Bros Television and DC Studios. Mundy, who serves as showrunner,...

A major The Rookie star is going to be in HBO’s Lanterns, so what does that mean for the ABC hit?

The Rookie has become one of ABC’s biggest hits and a lot of that rests on its leading man. Nathan Fillion had been bouncing around television for years in minor roles and short-lived series. He rose to fame playing Mal Reynolds in the 2002 Fox series Firefly. While the show lasted only 13 episodes, it attained a massive cult following.

After a stint on Desperate Housewives, Fillion got a huge hit with the ABC mystery series Castle, which ran eight seasons. He then returned on The Rookie as John Nolan, the former architect who joins the LAPD as a 40-something rookie cop.

The show has been a major success with a short-lived spinoff and Fillion balancing other TV and movie roles. However, a significant challenge is coming as Fillion...

One of Superman's super-powered cast members has been confirmed to reprise his role in the upcoming DC TV series Lanterns. According to Entertainment Weekly, Nathan Fillion, who is set to make his Dcu debut as Green Lantern Guy Gardner in James Gunn's Superman, will return to the franchise in the forthcoming HBO series. 

This will mark Fillion's second appearance as his DC character in the newly minted Dcu, which kicked off its first phase of projects, titled "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters," with last year's Creature Commandos. Fillion will join fellow Green Lanterns Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) in the HBO series.

It appears that Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner will fare much better than his T.D.K. did.

Fillion’s “jerk” of a Green Lantern, who will make his debut in James Gunn’s Superman movie this July 11, will also appear in HBO’s Lanterns series, THR and others reported on Monday.

Fillion recently described Guy to TVGuide.

Coming off rumors that Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner will make an appearance in the upcoming Lanterns series, Deadline has confirmed that the Firefly alum will indeed be a part of the HBO series.

We're not sure how significant of a role Fillion will play in the show, as the site only notes that he will return as Gardner after making his debut as the character in James Gunn's Superman.

While speaking to TV Line about his long-running series, The Rookie, in a recent interview, Fillion shared some new details on his interpretation of Gardner.

"He's a jerk!," said the actor when asked what separates Guy from his fellow ring-slinging heroes. "What's important to know is, you don't have to be good to be a Green Lantern; you just have to be fearless. So Guy Gardner is fearless, and he is not very good. He's not nice, which is...
