Fans Think Lanterns Actor Is Secretly Green Arrow in DCU Series

As a devoted admirer, I’ve found myself swept up in the buzz surrounding Garret Dillahunt potentially portraying Green Arrow in the Lanterns series. The excitement grew after he shared an Instagram post, fueling our speculation. It was confirmed that he joined the cast alongside Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart back in November 2024. However, no specific launch date for the show has been announced yet, but we’re eagerly anticipating its release, tentatively scheduled for 2026.

Fans think Garret Dillahunt is playing Green Arrow in DC’s Lanterns series

Actor Garret Dillahunt shared an Instagram Story featuring a storyboard image showing him dressed like Green Arrow. In the picture, he wore a green eye mask that looked much like Green Arrow’s iconic mask from the comics, though it appeared to be somewhat more vibrant.

This caused quite a buzz online as fans began questioning if Dillahunt was cast as Green Arrow in the new DC version instead of William Macon. However, in November 2024, when the actor was officially announced for the Lanterns series, it emerged that he would portray Macon, a contemporary cowboy character known for being self-righteous and conspiracy-prone. He hides his relentless ambition under a charismatic and calculating veneer.

The story was reshared by DCU Updates on X (formerly Twitter) after it was deleted.

Despite some fans speculating that Garret Dillahunt might portray Green Arrow in the Lanterns series, James Gunn put an end to those assumptions.

A fan, going by the handle @the_supermarioguy, recently posed a question to James Gunn (who is both co-CEO of DC and director of Superman) on the platform Threads: “Is it accurate that Garret Dillahunt will portray Green Arrow in Lanterns next year, given his recent Instagram posts suggesting as much?

Gunn, in his reply, clearly stated, “Haha no.”
