As a longtime gamer and comic book enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the vibrant worlds of DC, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement when I learned about Aaron Pierre’s casting as John Stewart in HBO Max’s upcoming series, Lanterns.
The newly appointed Green Lantern actor Aaron Pierre, who was recently cast as John Stewart for the DCU’s Lanterns series, has left fans intrigued with a concept of how he might appear in the famous costume based on artwork by an admired digital artist.
Recently, Warner Bros. disclosed that Pierre was chosen for the role of John Stewart in the upcoming DCU Green Lantern series. Following this announcement, it was confirmed that Kyle Chandler will portray Hal Jordan in the project “Lanterns”, as earlier speculations suggested he was in talks for the part. Since production on “Lanterns” won’t commence until early next year, Warner Bros. is taking their time before unveiling Pierre and Chandler in the classic Green Lantern outfits. Fortunately, a well-liked digital artist has already created concept art showcasing what these actors might look like in their respective roles.
Digital artist BossLogic recently revealed an image showcasing Pierre in the Green Lantern / John Stewart outfit. In this artwork, Pierre’s character is depicted utilizing his Green Lantern ring to generate a weaponized construct. For those unfamiliar, members of the Green Lantern Corps can create any weapon or object using their ring through mental force. This mental power is symbolized by intense green energy streaming from the ring, and the objects produced by it persist as long as the user can envision them and have only the strength that the user possesses. BossLogic expressed his excitement about the potential constructs in a post saying, “I just want to see the cool constructs!
The majority of reactions to Pierre’s selection for the role have been overwhelmingly favorable. @eldorado4 commented, “He’s an excellent actor and perfectly suits the character. This might be some of the best casting I’ve seen recently.” Another fan (@ocalexoc) contacted DCU head James Gunn directly, tagging him and stating, “@jamesgunn please deliver this for us, Homie @bosslogic is working hard.” However, while there was no criticism of Pierre’s casting, user @hydro88wr expressed a hope that the Green Lantern series within the DCU will share a similar tone to the Peacemaker series. They wrote, “I want the show to be as intricate and graphic as Peacemaker. The Green Lantern has been appearing soft in films like wet toilet paper.
It’s not surprising that this user has worries about Green Lantern in live-action films. The animated series “Justice League Unlimited” certainly boosted John Stewart’s fame, but the live-action feature films have had a rocky history. Ryan Reynolds’ “Green Lantern” film was both a commercial and critical failure, a fact he still pokes fun at. Zack Snyder aimed to introduce John Stewart in his version of “Justice League,” casting Wayne T. Carr for a brief scene. However, Warner Bros. didn’t agree with this plan as they had their own ideas for the character, eventually swapping John Stewart for Martian Manhunter in Snyder’s vision.
In the upcoming “Lanterns” TV show, Hal Jordan and John Stewart will team up to solve an Earth-bound mystery. Given the disappointment surrounding previous live-action adaptations of these characters, fans have high hopes for their portrayal. Luckily, Pierre and Chandler have shown impressive acting skills in the past, suggesting that our cherished Green Lantern heroes may be well taken care of.
Lanterns is in pre-production at DC Studios.
