As a long-time fan of both Josh Brolin and the Green Lantern universe, I must admit that I was initially thrilled at the prospect of seeing Brolin bring Hal Jordan to life on screen. However, after learning that the talks between him and HBO didn’t pan out, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment. That being said, I’m nothing if not an optimist, and with Kyle Chandler in discussions for the role, my hopes are rekindled. After all, who could forget his brilliant portrayal of Coach Taylor in Friday Night Lights? If anyone can bring the stoicism and heroism of a Green Lantern to life, it’s definitely him!
Actor Josh Brolin has clarified that he won’t be playing Hal Jordan in the upcoming HBO series called “Lanterns.” Previous speculations about his involvement have proven false as the negotiations didn’t pan out successfully. Now, Kyle Chandler is reportedly under consideration for the character, maintaining “Lanterns” as a significant part of DC Studios’ future lineup.
Josh Brolin reveals Green Lantern talks and praises Kyle Chandler
Well, here’s my spin on it: “Just got some news, folks! Turns out, my negotiations for the role of Hal Jordan in HBO’s Green Lantern series didn’t pan out as planned. Bummer, but I’ve always said, ‘The show must go on!’
In a conversation with ComicBook, Brolin expressed that the Green Lantern role didn’t turn out as planned, but that’s alright because things are progressing. He then mentioned Kyle Chandler as a potential candidate for the role, expressing his admiration for him as an actor and considering him terrific. Brolin also hinted at future possibilities, stating that we’ll have to wait and see what lies ahead.
The series “Lanterns” is an upcoming production by HBO in partnership with Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios. It follows Hal Jordan and John Stewart, two Green Lanterns who find themselves involved in a murder mystery unfolding in the Midwest of America. Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King are spearheading this project, with Mundy taking on the role of showrunner. The show is being marketed as a detective story, offering a fresh take on conventional superhero plots.
It’s been confirmed that Josh Brolin won’t portray Hal Jordan in the upcoming project. Instead, Kyle Chandler, recognized for his work on Friday Night Lights and Bloodline, is reportedly being considered for the role. The Green Lantern Corps, or simply “Lanterns,” is a key component of a broader scheme to introduce a cohesive DC Universe. James Gunn and Peter Safran are leading the strategic direction for this endeavor.
The series is anticipated to drop following Gunn’s Superman movie next summer, signifying a crucial point for DC’s upcoming content lineup. By emphasizing the detective element within the Green Lanterns, the series presents itself as a distinctive addition to the superhero realm.
