As a long-time DC fan who has been following the Green Lantern saga since the classic comics, I must say that this upcoming series titled “Lanterns” has me quite intrigued! The rumors surrounding potential actors for Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern role have been swirling for months now, and it seems we are no closer to knowing who will don the iconic green lantern.
Since filmmaker James Gunn announced the upcoming Green Lantern-centric series in the DC Universe (DCU) back in January 2023, fans have been eagerly speculating about who might take on the role of Hal Jordan. Names such as Channing Tatum and Glen Powell have been mentioned, but recent rumors hint at three more potential candidates for the Green Lantern of Hal Jordan in this DCU series. Could Josh Brolin or Matthew McConaughey be among those contenders? Let’s take a look at our top picks for the role
Which actors could play Hal Jordan in DC’s Green Lantern series?
Reports indicate that actors such as Josh Brolin, Matthew McConaughey, and Ewan McGregor may take on the roles of Hal Jordan/Green Lantern in the forthcoming Green Lantern series
Based on reliable information shared by film industry expert Jeff Sneider, these three actors are said to have received the offer for the role or are being considered for it
Sneider stated that actor Josh Brolin, known for his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has been proposed to play Hal Jordan in Lanterns, a film inspired by True Detective. He further noted that should Brolin decline the offer, DC Studios would then consider Matthew McConaughey, the original star of True Detective, as an alternative. If McConaughey also declines, Ewan McGregor from Star Wars would be their next choice for the role
Previously, there were whispers about Channing Tatum potentially playing the character. These speculations arose when John Rocha, on the Hot Mic Podcast with Jeff Sneider, mentioned that his contacts within Warner Bros. suggested that the studio favored Tatum for the role of Jordan
Jon Hamm was linked to the role of Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern, specifically for the 2011 film, but Ryan Reynolds ultimately got the part and the movie ended up being both panned by critics and a box office disappointment. However, during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in June 2024, Hamm confirmed that he had chosen to pass on the project because he was not interested in taking it on
Despite no official announcement about Hal Jordan’s role as a Green Lantern, it’s still uncertain who might eventually play him. It could very well be one of the mentioned actors, or possibly another actor altogether
