James Gunn Teases He May Have Found His John Stewart For Lanterns

Key Takeaways

  • James Gunn is working on the upcoming Lanterns series.
  • The DCU chief might have recently teased he’s found one of his lead actors.
  • Could an announcement about who will play John Stewart be on the horizon?

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of comic book-based gaming experiences under my belt, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of James Gunn’s upcoming Lanterns series. The DCU has always been a playground for my imagination, and the thought of John Stewart and Hal Jordan in action is almost too much to bear!

Almost nine months into its new leadership, the DCU has been experiencing various changes and adjustments. Among these developments is the commencement of a fresh series focusing on Lanterns, featuring characters John Stewart and Hal Jordan.

Over the past few weeks, DCU’s leader James Gunn has been actively searching for suitable actors to take on the roles of the two principal characters. For a while, it seemed like Josh Brolin could be our Hal Jordan, but those rumors eventually faded, and it was reported that he declined the offer. However, Gunn may have hinted that he has successfully found one of the show’s leading stars.

James Gunn subtly hinted at a new hire in his unique style without explicitly stating it. He shared a comic book image of John Stewart on his Instagram, sparking speculation among his followers that an official announcement was imminent.

James Gunn Hints At Lanterns Star

Since the post only contained a photo of Stewart without any accompanying caption, DCU fans can merely speculate that the image might hint at the official selection of one of the Lanterns’ stars. Simultaneously, Gunn’s efforts to assemble the show’s cast suggest he may be on the verge of finalizing his choice, although it remains unclear if the decision has already been made.

Beyond providing a general storyline involving several Green Lantern Corps members, details about the project remain scarce. Questions about the cast and other aspects such as release date and number of episodes for the first season have not been answered yet. Furthermore, it is still unclear whether this series will be a limited one-season production or if it’s intended to run for multiple seasons like shows such as “Peacekeeper” or “Doom Patrol.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but get excited about the upcoming series, Lanterns. So far, the only cast member officially confirmed is Nathan Fillion, who’ll be bringing Guy Gardner to life. In the comics, Gardner and Stewart are usually the active members of the Green Lantern Corps when Hal Jordan steps down from his role as Earth’s protector. It’s speculated that this could be why Dune’s Timothée Brolin might be joining as a more experienced, possibly even retired hero.

As an ardent fan, I’ve heard whispers about the plot for Lanterns, and it seems my hero, Jordan, might guide a more impulsive John Stewart – a role that could be played by a talented young actor. However, Director Gunn has skillfully kept any hints about potential candidates for this pivotal role shrouded in mystery, keeping us guessing who will join him in Lanterns’ lead roles.
