This project was first mentioned nearly three years ago when James Gunn, alongside Peter Safran, announced the new direction for DC Studios. Even back then, it garnered immense anticipation from many fans, and now, concrete details are finally beginning to emerge.
'Lanterns,' What Story Will It Tell?
James Gunn has revealed that 'Lanterns' will be an 'HBO television series.' The series is set to explore the stories of multiple Green Lanterns, including John Stewart and Hal Jordan. However, it won't just be a spectacle of cosmic tales; it's described as having "a 'True Detective'-like feel," showcasing the Green Lanterns' work as intergalactic police protecting Earth.
Specifically, they will be investigating a "grounded, terrorist-like mystery" on Earth, and this event is said to connect to larger storylines within the DCU, sparking immediate curiosity! 🕵️♀️
According to the official logline, "New recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan are introduced, as two galactic police officers find themselves embroiled in a dark, Earth-based mystery while investigating a murder in the American Midwest," promising a fresh approach.
An All-Star Casting Lineup!
The 'Lanterns' series has attracted a host of formidable actors. First, announcing a return to the DCU is the star Kelly MacDonald! Many fans are already speculating about the role she will play.
The seven newly added actors are equally impressive. Aaron Pierre, Garret Dillahunt, Josh Brolin, Ulrich Thomsen, Nancy Hepp, Nathan Fillion, and Joss Anderson! Isn't it exciting to imagine how they will contribute to the 'Lanterns' universe?
Notably, Nancy Hepp and Nathan Fillion have prior experience in significant roles within DC projects, drawing even more attention to their return. 😮
Disappointing News, Which Famous Actor Declined?
However, not all actors have joined. Unfortunately, the well-known actor Kyle Chandler, who was reportedly offered a role in the 'Lanterns' series, ultimately declined to participate. 😔 While this may be disappointing news for fans who were hoping for his involvement, it will be interesting to see who might fill his place.
Filming Location and More!
The 'Lanterns' series began filming earlier this year at the iconic Warner Bros. Studios. 🎬 We eagerly await more information and teaser trailers to be released!
It remains to be seen whether this 'Lanterns' series will open a new chapter for the DC Universe or find itself at the center of further controversy. What are your thoughts on this casting? Please share your opinions freely in the comments!
As a fan of the DC Universe, I am genuinely excited to see what magnificent story 'Lanterns' will bring us. Don't miss any future updates! 😉
