The upcoming Inexperienced Lantern TV present has added one other main star to its forged.
The sequence, formally titled Lanterns, already has Kyle Chandler lined as much as play its model of Hal Jordan. (That’s the Lantern that Ryan Reynolds performed within the big-screen Inexperienced Lantern movie.) Now they’ve snagged Aaron Pierre — who was just lately seen on the very good Netflix motion thriller Insurgent Ridge — to play one other well-known Inexperienced Lantern, John Stewart.
After the information broke on-line, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn himself confirmed the information, writing on his Instagram “Welcome to DC, @aaron_pierre1. After a protracted and grueling sequence of auditions I’m completely certain we’ve discovered an unbelievable John Stewart.”

In the event you’ve seen Insurgent Ridge, you already know: Pierre is superior casting for John Stewart. In that movie, Pierre performs a former Marine fight teacher who will get caught up within the machinations of a corrupt small-town police power. Once they mess with him, he fights again. Pierre is excellent within the film; powerful but in addition very human. He’s a perfect selection for John Stewart. (In DC Comics, Stewart is canonically a former Marine too.)
DC and HBO have spent years engaged on a Inexperienced Lantern TV sequence. This model is being developed by Damon Lindelof, Chris Mundy, and DC author Tom King. (A earlier model of the present that very almost occurred was created by Seth Grahame-Smith, and was going to star Finn Wittrock and Jeremy Irvine as a number of different members of the Inexperienced Lantern Corps, Man Gardner and Alan Scott.)
Lanterns is anticipated to air on HBO and stream on Max. With a core forged of Pierre and Chandler, it seems like a fairly darn good present already.
