We don’t want the series to feel in any way like stepchildren or lesser than. Using the example of John Cena, who played violent character Peacemaker in Gunn’s feature The Suicide Squad, then starred in HBO Max’s spinoff Peacemaker, Safran said, “Anyone we cast as John Stewart and Hal Jordan, they will then cross over into the movie side of things. “This plays a really big role in leading into the main story we are telling across film and TV,” Safran said.Īnd unlike the casting of the previous actors, who had little chance of seeing themselves on the big screen, the actors who will play the Lanterns will also carry those roles into theaters.

One early version focused on original Lantern hero, Alan Scott, in a story set in the 1930s or 1940s, macho Lantern Guy Gardner in more modern times, and one set in the future featuring the character Sojourner Mullein. In the works since at least 2019, Green Lantern was touted to be the most expensive DC show ever made, with multiple stories sprawling across time and space.
