The <strong>Max<\/strong> original will be set in the <strong>DCU<\/strong>, and James Gunn has taken to <strong>Instagram<\/strong> this week to announce the official casting choices for <strong>John Stewart <\/strong>and <strong>Hal Jordan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First up to bat is <strong>Aaron Pierre<\/strong>, who has landed the role of John Stewart. Pierre has starred in the film <strong><em>Rebel Ridge<\/em><\/strong>, the series <strong><em>Genius<\/em><\/strong>, and will be heard voicing the title character in <strong>Disney<\/strong>&#8216;s upcoming <strong><em>Mufasa<\/em><\/strong>: <strong><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/strong>. Playing the other lead Lantern &#8211; the iconic Hal Jordan &#8211; will be <strong>Kyle Chandler<\/strong>. Chandler has played in <strong><em>Argo<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em><\/strong>, and <strong><em>Super 8<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"894\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_9628-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Aaron Pierre John Stewart Green Lantern\" class=\"wp-image-44131\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1032\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_9629.jpeg\" alt=\"Kyle Chandler Hal Jordan Green Lantern\" class=\"wp-image-44132\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s exciting about this is not only the fact that this show &#8211; and the DCU more broadly &#8211; has now cast these beloved characters, but the world is finally about to see these Lanterns on the live-action screen. For anyone keeping up with <strong>DC<\/strong> films and television, there&#8217;s not been many live-action Lanterns to date. But between this upcoming show &#8211; and <strong>Nathan Fillion<\/strong>&#8216;s upcoming role as <strong>Guy Gardner<\/strong> in next year&#8217;s <strong><em>Superman<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; fans of the beloved ring-bearers will finally get to see them on the screen again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which Lantern are you most excited to see live-action?
