This was an EXCELLENT CASTING. I never heard of this actor before "Rebel Ridge" and I enjoyed that movie despite it not being what I expected. Now, I can't wait for this Green Lantern project.

[@thomaslautenberger6447]

this guy was born for this role

[@daydreaminavenue]

John stewart and Hal Jordan are my favorite green lanterns. I hope that the show lives up to it’s potential

[@heavycritic9554]

That is a great bit of casting. He's got the voice and the presence, and he's already proven his chops in Rebel Ridge.

[@buffbeenstuffed]

He is the Number one draft pick for me! so excited to see what he does with this role and beyond

[@WhatsWorthWatching]

this is PERFECT!! I literally spoke about this potential casting in my review for Rebel Ridge just a week ago. He is gonna crush it. Also, if you haven't seen this dude before, watch Rebel Ridge. It is great!!

[@deltagodangel]

Superman will have 2 post credits scenes. One will hint at the greater conflict and the 2nd will see guy Gardner dead which will lead into lanterns who investigate guy's death

Yo quite an interesting theory. Is it more than just a theory? I like it regardless.

I doubt they kill Guy that quickly we need Batman to knock him out first

[@batsaubattler3200]

I don't want them to kill guy off so fast. Or hal but I realize hal might die. But to kill both guy and Hal so soon after introduction will make the core feel too small imo plus I love Nathan fillion and Kyle but I hope they find a way to keep one of em alive

Aaron Pierre reminds me of a young James Earl Jones

[@robertjackson9005]

Ironic you said that. Since he’s voicing the young Mufasa in The Lion King prequel movie that’s coming out

[@angelestrada9552]

@robertjackson9005 Yeah, whenever they cast him, I saw his eyes and face stature, which is strange, similar to JEJ. He could have played him in a biopic or become Darth Vader

[@LessettFoster479]

He absolutely does to be honest I agree

[@polyglot12]

Aaron Pierre is a very strong actor. He alone makes me want to see this. Chandler is another reason. And the storyline as sort of a 'True Detective'-style story is the capper. I love that this isn't going too cosmic. I think too many comic book films throw everything up into world threatening menaces. A story a little tighter, even if it evolves into something larger, is very appealing to me.

[@isaacblake5114]

I think it’s spectacular

[@IMZ44]

Before I get hyped up for the man and GL project. I want to see a trailer first. John is one of my favorite DC characters.

[@rburke4042]

This is what I wish the dceu was building towards. Hopefully this show is a success and we can one day get a legit Justice League movie based off the cartoon show. I see the pieces coming together. The only question is, which Batman are they going to use.

[@phristo]

I want him as the new Blade with those half vampire eyes

The political conspiracy in that show is something that really happens. At least portions of it do. Civil Asset Forfeiture is something that happens throughout the country and is legal.

[@jacobweyker6857]

I really can’t wait to see what the suits looks like

[@boipelozondo9806]

John needs a better research team...the rebel ridge plot is not a conspiracy but based on an actual systematic abuse of power enabled by poor law making. Please watch the John Oliver episode on this. The director even mentioned he reference that episode.

[@davidalexander-dhs-baltimo2708]

Gunn's DC heroes include Corenswet as Superman, Alcock as Supergirl and now Pierre as Lantern. Three actors who can one day be big time stars. I am guessing they are signed for movie, television, cartoons and video game deals. Smart move by Warner Brothers. Merced as Hawkgirl is a sleeper movie star. She has worked so much over the last few years that she might get over used. She has a great chance to have a break out role as Dina next year in the Last of Us.

[@benm5970]

I’m personally more of a Hal Jordan fan than a Jon Stewart fan, but one thing I like is that from the sound of it it seems like James Gunn is committed to giving each of the Green Lanterns equal spotlight, because Green Lantern is a little different than heroes like Batman or Superman, with those ones you kinda just have the OG one and that’s it, Bruce Wayne is Batman, Clark Kent is Superman etc. and whenever they *did* have other people in those roles it was always a “Passing the torch” situation, whereas with Green Lantern there’s like 4 different human ones and everyone seems to have their own preference for who’s the quintessential one, and so I think James Gunn is making it where he’s like “Don’t worry, whoever you think is the best Green Lantern you’re going to see them in this new DCU” Which I think is a cool idea because it’ll please all the different camps of Green Lantern fans

[@mutalemwananshiku4098]

I dont think making hal jordan an almost 60 year old fan who is likey going to die in the first season pleases hal jordan fans as well having guy gardner in his 50s.

[@KeenApollo]

@@mutalemwananshiku4098yea but they clearly going the cartoon route and making John the main lantern dude is 30 so he will likely play John for at least a decade.

Justice? As in ‘Justice League’? Ahhh I see wut u did there 😆

[@jrpgaddict7726]

He was amazing in Rebel Ridge, so yea 👍🏾

[@SleepingTroubles]

James Gunn is known to have a fair background of the comics, it would be crazy to think we wouldn't see Kilowog if we're talking about green lanterns that aren't on earth being shown in any shape or form, him and Ganthet (not a lantern exactly but in a way)are pretty much guaranteed, we just don't know the casting. Sinestro too but can be saved to the ending if Hal is already older Having human green lanterns interacting with the alien green lanterns should be a common thing to expect, but I don't see much discussion, then to be fair it would be a Rocket Raccoon situation that seeing the character is what will hook people instead of caring about the casting

[@feridradoncic2237]

[@garrettyingst9785]

I’m calling it now the main villain is gonna be black hand. Pre black lanterns. He has connections to the blackest night. Atrocitous of the red lanterns. And is a serial killer. He’s gonna be it

[@Abhinav-m4o]

Definitely not Because that's long way to go Atleast let them build up First gonna be sinestro arc yellow lanterns Don't jump over 8 steps before finishing single step

[@garrettyingst9785]

@@Abhinav-m4o black hand is actually a really old lantern villain. He was actually a routine villain for Hal dating back to the 60s his origin actually sets up a lot of the mythos such as atrocitous, Sinestro, and the blackest night. Jumping straight to Sinestro would be jumping the gun in my opinion cause u have to set up the yellow lantern Corp and who Sinestro is and why he matters. So you can do black hand pre blackest night and still set up everything saving the blackest night for a later date.

[@kasibhasan]

Given the former military background of John Stewart and Terry Richmond, the character he played in Rebel Ridge I believe it helps. The murder in middle America turned intergalactic investigation reminds me in some ways of the ego vs starload scenario from guardians of the galaxy I don’t have an issue with it but that’s what I thought about when I heard the synopsis

[@DOMBEN7794]

7:39 I remember from one of the DC animated movies or shows that one of the guardians of Oa was asked why earth had so many lanterns and they replied saying something along the lines of earth is home to an abnormally high amount of crisis level events and meta beings they needed to station more lanterns.
