Josh Brolin was reportedly offered the role of Hal Jordan in the upcoming DCU Lanterns series, but we recently learned that he had passed. Follow-up reports claimed that Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Birds of Prey), Matthew McConaughey (Deadpool and Wolverine, Interstellar), and Chris Pine (Star Trek, Hell or High Water) were also in contention, with Pine expected to get the offer if Brolin declined.

There have been conflicting reports about Pine being in the mix, but he appears to be the most popular choice to take on the role of the ring-slinging hero. Pine has already played a DC Comics character, Steve Trevor, in the Wonder Woman movies, but most fans don't seem to mind since the DCEU is no more.

Now, artist 21xFour has shared some new fan-art of Pine as Jordan, and he certainly looks the part.

Stephen Williams (Lost, Watchmen, Westworld) is believed to be in talks to direct the pilot, with Lucy Tcherniak rumored to be in negotiations to helm an undisclosed number of episodes.

Emmy Award-winning Lost and Watchmen creator Damon Lindelof is working on the pilot script along with Ozark showrunner Chris Mundy and comic book writer Tom King. Justin Britt-Gibson, Breannah Gibson and Vanessa Baden Kelly are also said to be on board (though this has yet to be confirmed).

Production on Lanterns is currently set to commence in Q1 of 2025 in the United Kingdom, potentially putting the show on track for a 2026 release.

Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner, who will make his debut in Gunn's Superman reboot, is expected to have a supporting role in the series. Casting is currently underway for an actor to play John Stewart.

An earlier Green Lantern TV series was in the works before Gunn and Safran took over as co-heads of DC Studios. That version was created by Greg Berlanti and would have starred Finn Wittrock as Guy Gardner.

Hal Jordan was previously played by Ryan Reynolds in the infamous 2011 Green Lantern movie.

"This is a story of a couple of Green Lanterns John Stewart and Hal Jordan," Gunn said of the project when it was first announced. "We have a few other Lanterns peppered in there but this is really a terrestrial based TV show which is almost like True Detective with a couple of Green Lanterns who are space cops watching over Precinct Earth in it they discover a terrifying mystery that ties into our largest story of the DCU."

Who would you like to see play Jordan and Stewart? Let us know in the comments section.

@BruceWayng - you have to go back about 15 years to get THAT Chris Pine.

@WruceBayne - I’m fine with an older Hal. I grew up on the grey templed iteration and I’ve never loved him portrayed as a younger dude…I’m more worried about what they’re going to do with John. He’s always been a more stoic, no nonsense kinda guy in my mind and idk how that’s going to translate if he’s in a protégé role.

@WruceBayne - back I. The day I wanted him as Green Lantern and Ryan Reynolds as The Flash

@JonAwesome -

Reynolds would have been a PERFECT flash

@BruceWayng - why’d they get away from the older grey templed Hal? He always seemed more experienced.

WruceBayne - 9/23/2024, 12:10 AM
@JonAwesome - Reynolds would’ve been a damn good Flash.

@WruceBayne - Which is why he should be good now I think. I'm ok with this. I'm not really feeling McGreggor Hal.

@HulkisHoly - He would've been the perfect Wally West. I think it almost happened too, in the '90s (unless that was for a Barry Allen Flash).

He would be great but he'd never do it.

Would’ve been cool, over 10 years ago. Though I think his Tom Cruise one was better.

Cool fan-art!!.

Pine would indeed be the most perfect (if not obvious choice) out of the apparent shortlist of actors that are in consideration for Hal in the DCU.

However the more I have thought about it , the more I want Timothy Olyphant to be cast personally…

He can bring that trademark swagger & charm if his to the role while being able to convey the supposed veteran & weathered nature of this older version imo.

@TheVisionary25 - I’m not sold on Matthew McConaughey being Jordan. I can see him as Sinestro before Green Lantern.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 9/22/2024, 10:11 PM
@WruceBayne - yeah , me neither (I can’t even see him as Sinestro either frankly).

It’s the Texan twang has that kind of puts me off…

He’s a good actor no doubt though but I just can’t see him as Hal atleast how I picture him.
WruceBayne
WruceBayne - 9/23/2024, 12:08 AM
@TheVisionary25 - now that you’ve mentioned his accent I like him less as Sinestro. Even if he ditched that thick southern twang, it would probably still be weird.

I would like to see Theo James in a Not James Gunn Universe play the role. He does not need to be super old.

OT, from HR

A funny snippet for those defending that stupid Reynolds and Jackman pic with Evans.

"[Marvel/DC] will shoot a scene with the actors on a location with a tracking shot, and then shoot it again without the actors, but with the same camera movement, just in case they want to put different actors in it,” Brown says. “And then they’ll shoot the actors again in front of a greenscreen, so they could maybe keep the actors, but change the backdrop.”

I think Pine would be good for the part.

We should just start calling fan art Fart.

@MikeyL - I like the fact that it gathers us for comic conversation.

I've accepted the fact that not all articles are not comic book movie related.

Could ya be a gent and do the same?
