HBO loves to put out compilation teasers of what’s coming soon to the platform and channel and it often gives us a first look at anticipation shows. In this case, we get our first look at Lanterns, the upcoming show from DC Studios based on Green Lantern.
The show stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart and will feature Nathan Fillion returning as Guy Gardner after his debut in Superman and Ulrich Thomsen as Sinestro.
Kyle Chandler will be slinging the ring as Hal Jordon in the television series Lanterns and it has been revealed that Aaron Pierre will be his partner in cosmic space policing as John Stewart.
Pierre was one of the actors rumored for the role and this would not be his first time playing a live action comic book character. Pierre was Dev-Em in Krypton, based on the Superman mythology. He was also a performer on the Old soundtrack, a film based on a graphic novel. In possibly his biggest role to date, Pierre will voice Mufasa in Mufasa: The Lion King.
Lanterns is going straight to series and comes from Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelöf, and Tom King. The trio are co-writing and executive producing the series, with Mundy serving as the showrunner.
The show is still casting for other roles and looking for directors, looking to begin shooting in January. In June it was announced the show was going straight to series for eight episodes.
The series focuses on Jordan who will mentor John Stewart. The two will investigate an Earth-bound murder with larger implications.
