Big announcement from HBO: Green Lantern series is coming
HBO has officially announced the first season of Green Lantern. The series will be written by Damon Lindelof, Chris Mundy and Tom King. Lindelof is best known as the creator of HBO’s Watchmen, while Mundy has worked on shows like Ozark and True Detective: Night Country. Gunn and Safran liken the tone of the series to True Detective.
The Green Lantern Corps are the guardians of the DC Universe and can create almost anything thanks to their rings. In this series, the characters Hal Jordan and John Stewart will be the main subjects. Stewart, as a rookie Lantern, will investigate a murder in the heart of America with the old wolf Jordan.
Ryan Reynolds played Hal Jordan in the 2011 Green Lantern movie, but the characters have largely been absent from the DC Extended Universe. Zack Snyder tried to introduce Stewart in his version of Justice League, but was rejected by the studio.
A previously rumored Green Lantern TV series project was in development at HBO Max and would have featured characters like Alan Scott and Guy Gardner. That project was canceled before Gunn and Safran took the helm at DC Studios. However, Gunn will cast Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner in the upcoming Superman movie. The film will be released on July 11, 2025.
The release date of the new Green Lantern series has not yet been announced and the lead actors have not been announced. HBO’s Green Lantern series is set to breathe new life into the DC Universe.
By the way, the reason we call Green Lantern uninspiring is just a joke. Ryan Reynolds’ constant ridicule of this character, which he once played, has obviously lowered the seriousness of the character a bit. What do you think?
