Although DC Studios is keeping secret most of the storyline details for the Lanterns series, director James Gunn has shared who among Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart will be the primary Green Lantern in the upcoming HBO Max production. In a recent interview, this renowned filmmaker offered insights into the forthcoming projects on the DC Universe slate, providing some insight into what fans can anticipate from the Lanterns series as well.
James Gunn says Lanterns will center around John Stewart’s story
In a recent chat, it was disclosed that while the Green Lantern series will spotlight three characters – John Stewart, Hal Jordan played by Kyle Chandler, and Guy Gardner portrayed by Nathan Fillion – the main narrative will predominantly revolve around Aaron Pierre’s character.
James Gunn shared that we’ll be visiting “Supergirl” and “Lanterns” the following summer. He further explained that while it’s primarily John Stewart’s tale, other characters will also play significant roles.

In the world of gaming, I can’t wait to jump into the brand new Lanterns series! As a DC fan, I’m excited to team up with John Stewart and Hal Jordan. Kyle Chandler is playing the seasoned Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, while John Stewart steps in as the fresh recruit, recently empowered. As we progress through the story, Hal Jordan, hesitantly, takes on the role of mentor for me, Stewart, to crack an Earth-bound mystery wide open.
Apart from Chandler, Pierre, and Nathan Fillion, this project will also include Kelly Macdonald, Ulrich Thomsen, Garret Dillahunt, Jason Ritter, and Nicole Ari Parker, along with a few more talented individuals. The Lanterns series, centering around John Stewart, consists of eight episodes in total and has recently wrapped up its filming stage. Although DC Studios hasn’t announced an exact release date for the much-anticipated show yet, it is expected to premiere sometime early next year, specifically in 2026.
