These DCU Casting Rumors Don't Seem Great...

With the DCU starting up, news and rumors abound have been coming up regarding who will be playing certain characters like Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart as well as Booster Gold and the actors who have been propping up seem like unusual choices that would greatly affect what the DCU will look like which is what I’ll be covering in this video.

[@theflash9767]

The recent discussions around casting choices for the DCU raise some important points, particularly when it comes to Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern. Casting Hal Jordan young would be a smart move for James Gunn’s long-term plans for the DCU. If the goal is to build a universe that lasts for a decade or more, having a younger actor in the role allows for character growth and continuity. Actors like James Marsden, Chris Pine, Glen Powell, or even Miles Teller could bring the right energy and leadership qualities to Hal Jordan while being young enough to stick around for multiple films. An unknown actor could also work well, offering a fresh take and a chance to develop the character without any preconceived notions. When it comes to Booster Gold, Glen Powell or Chris Pratt would be great fits. Both have the comedic timing and charm that Booster Gold needs. However, if the rumors of older casting are true, it could signal that Hal Jordan might be pushed into a mentor role for John Stewart’s Green Lantern. This opens the door for some interesting storytelling, such as Hal Jordan eventually becoming Parallax or even being killed off, which would make John Stewart the central Green Lantern of the DCU. The potential for older casting brings up questions about the direction of the DCU and the Justice League. If the core heroes are cast as older, more experienced characters, it could work in the short term, but it might limit the long-term growth of the franchise. Younger actors allow the characters to evolve and grow with the universe over time, which would be crucial for a 10-year plan. Ultimately, James Gunn needs to strike a balance between bringing in seasoned actors for certain roles and casting younger talent that can carry the franchise forward. These casting choices will play a big role in shaping the future of the DCU and how fans connect with this new era of storytelling.

[@milkiassamuel780]

I know right? I dont get why they're so insistent on giving us an older Hal Jordan in his 40s-50s since Im worried they're planning to adapt a Parallax Hal storyline, which really doesn't work for the beginning of a cinematic universe since you need to establish his growth as a Green Lantern, his relationship with characters like Carol Ferris, Kilowog, Tomar Rae, John Stewart and of course develop his iconic rivalry with Sinestro compellingly, and interestingly since the two have an amazing dynamic against each other since you can't just get rid of Hal and expect John to Sinestro's enemy since Sinestro's bond with Hal as his former mentor and opposite personalities but respect for each other make their dynamic great. Scared that Hal Jordan won't be lasting too long in the DCU, and that sucks

[@buccaneercat]

I’m starting to worry about the rest of the League… Josh Brolin could be better suited as Slade Wilson (aka Deathstroke), and Kumail Ali Nanjiani would better be suited for Tomar-Re, Red Tornado, maybe Plastic Man, or even Amazo. They nailed Superman, Hawkgirl, Guy Gardner, and Mr Terrific… but they’re starting to get cocky and frivolous with the casting. One of the reasons the MCU maintained its popularity is because of how good its casting used to be. RDJ, Scar-Jo, Evans, Hemsworth, Ruffalo, Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, and all the others (like Don Cheadle, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston, Sebastian Stan, etc.) were cast perfectly for their respective roles. I don’t think the MCU would have been AS popular if they had miscast their key players. Sure a couple were recast, but they recovered very quickly. This could be another stepping stone for WB to begin tanking another DC cinematic universe. Tighten things up, WB. Leave no room for error. They NEED to get the core League right, otherwise people won’t connect with them like they should. Josh Brolin as Hal is not the right direction for the character. Aging him up to be an elder to John washes over YEARS of Hal’s stories they could cover.

[@Lunapink93]

WB has no say in this but I feel like they get it right. It’s unlikely Hal will even be on the Justice League.

[@JUANxxTNAFAN]

lol who says Hal, Booster and Ted are going to be main players? Think it’s pretty obvious there are two generations of heroes… the younger generation aka the main heroes will be led by Superman! John will the GL for the generation, not Hal. Makes sense because the League/DC needs the diversity

[@akilbrazier1421]

They’ve only offered the role to Brolin (which I don’t think he’ll take) but that’s kind of a bad sign for me. It shows the age range of the Hal Jordan they want and potentially what they’re going to do with him. And I don’t like either so far. I’m not saying Hal has to be like super young, and I do like the angle that he’s already experienced as a Green Lantern and is considered a legend while also being a mentor type of figure to John Stewart. But I don’t want him to be THAT much older than John. Or Superman, or anybody else who’s supposed to be his peer for that matter. You can be like 5-10 years older and still be a mentor showing somebody else the ropes. Brolin is almost in his 60s. I want an actor that can carry the role for another good 10 or so years. But that leads me to believe that those aren’t their plans. I feel like he’s only going to be in like the first season of Lanterns with *maybe* an appearance in the movies before they either kill him off or retire him and set the stage for John being the main GL that joins the DCU version of the Justice League. I hope that’s not the case. We can have both Hal and John be main stay GLs. It’s what most people want. And I also want Hal to be a founding member of the JL since he is in the comics. And I don’t want him to be pushing 60 or even 50. As far as Kumail Nanjiani as Booster Gold, I REALLY hope that’s not true. Not only is he also older but he looks nothing like BG. He has the type of comedic chops that could pull off how BG acts, but the look is a big part of it too and he just doesn’t have it. Not to mention the age, like I said. I really hope James Gunn actually somewhat takes fan opinion/feedback into consideration. Because we are the ones paying our hard earned money to go and see these movies and fund their jobs and lifestyles.

The official Lanterns synopsis describes Hal as a "veteran Lantern legend" teaming up with a "rookie" John Stewart, so it makes sense. This to me points toward Stewart probably being the main GL focus moving forward in the JL, and maybe later doing the Parallax storyline with the older Hal. Look at the cover of Green Lantern #1 vol. 3 1990.. that's what they're going for.. People have to remember this universe is supposed to feel lived-in with already established heroes, some well into their careers, some newer.

[@zetsub0u115]

How come Glen Powell literally played a Fighter Pilot, looks like Hal but is not even being considered 💀💀💀

[@1993digifan]

Maybe he doesn't want to be typecasted. It's not like you people go that deep with your fancasts. I'm sure you thought real hard about why Jenny Ortega should be Raven, oh no wait you just saw her play Wednesday and that's as far as you got.

​@@1993digifan So Glen Powell told you this?

[@andraw4002]

@@1993digifan You're right. In order to not implicate type casting, hire someone who is horrible for the part, and not even consider the person who is widely considered to be able to play it well. Isn't that what casting is about? Hiring the best person for the role.

[@colton7321]

I HATE when active or unactive characters in one franchise are casted as another character in another franchise. ESPECIALLY when its competing franchises! Also... make Booster Gold a blonde haired white guy just once plz.

If they wanted an older Hal Jordan. Why not cast Nathan Fillion. He’s about the same age as Josh Brolin by a couple of years younger, and has voiced Hal Jordan in many projects before and was a popular fan cast for Hal Jordan. Idk know what James Gunn is doing with the DCU. Some of this projects, castings decisions and rumors seems weird but I’ll guess we’ll see

Mark my words they’re gonna give Hal’s iconic stories to John just like they gave him Ayo and Razor in his Animated movie

[@JUANxxTNAFAN]

Hopefully they do the same in the comics

[@tomleonard830]

Presumedly there is a story reason for casting actors of different age ranges. If this is the case, I reserve judgement until we see the final result. If on the other hand, these are all characters who are supposed to be peers age-wise, that would be bad.

[@keegansmith1331]

The casting has been off especially booster gold that casting was so bad after it was confirmed people were still trying to say it wasn't true😂😂😂. I went from super excited for the DCU to ill just superman and call it a day

[@karlocortes3342]

Booster could appear in the Blue Beetle animated show

[@stealthmonkeydc2869]

I never thought DC going with a more established universe than Marvel was a problem, it was just the DCEU sucked and made poor decisions. When I heard Gunn was going with this approach, i was happy, but now it feels like they are going too far in that direction and jumping over important storylines. Green Lantern was what I wanted to see the most, and the fact it's gonna be a show doesn't fill me with hope and all the recent news is just making me more worried. It feels like they have no idea what to do with GL, probably cause of the disaster that was the GL movie.

[@davidalexander-dhs-baltimo2708]

Your picks for Hall and John are on point.

[@cicciogamer80fame.]

old actor to probably kill hal soon enough ( i m affraid barry will receive tha same treatment)

[@mattsell2361]

Sounds like they are going for an old Hal Jordan who will retire and lead into John Stewart being the main green lantern

[@bradleyvaughn1991]

I like the ages everywhere. It’s not like one generation would be hero’s and not others.

[@Putting_the_Bi_in_Big_Nerd]

I brought this up on another video (on another channel) but what if the person who *gets* murdered (and kicks off the plot of Lanterns) is actually Hal Jordan and it's actually up to John teaming up with Guy Gardner to figure out who killed Hal (I at least feel like John and Guy could work better for a buddy cop series)

[@zetsub0u115]

Horrible absolutely horrible 💀

[@Putting_the_Bi_in_Big_Nerd]

@@zetsub0u115 Eh, I personally don't like Hal too much (I wouldn't mind if he's one of the main characters but. aside from that show in the early 2010s, I don't feel much towards him)

@@williamdaviddiazcuchimaque7511 (lo siento, solo había aprendido Español en la escuela y había sido muchos anos desde cuando tenía mi última clase de Español: es mi culpa si no soy tan claro, pero quiero intentar) Yo entendí que Guy es un personaje que muchos personas no gustan porque tenía una personalidad no muy favorable. Pero creo que este puede ser algo que puede cambiar para una actitud mejor por su tiempo con John mientras John puede aprender que en algunas veces, sea necesario trabajar afuera de las reglas (de Los Guardianes del Universo) para hacer que es necesario para ayudar y guardar los innocentes

[@Yam-KarloReinholz]

The best choice for Hal Jordan would be Glen Powell, Chris Pine or Patrick Schwarzenegger.

[@Lunapink93]

What’s great about these characters being older is now there is far more roles for new younger actors to play.

[@zettovii1367]

I really dont get why everybody keep on bashing the 2011 Green Lantern movie. It wasn't even that bad as far as super hero flicks goes as a whole. But that aside, I completely agree that they should go a different direction with Hal, besides turning him into Parallax again... At least not this soon.

If they mess up Batman casting the DCU will be over

[@darkskinvince4380]

Idk if you mentioned this but it’s been reported that the dcu will have movies set at different times like some current day others in the past , I’m assuming some in the future with no strict time frame . Atleast that’s the current rumor . Also I’d be okay with Jon being the main lantern but for Hal’s casting I’m hoping it’s Chris pine .

[@jhameerconyers7133]

I think Glenn Powell could be a good Hal Jordan imo

Dude why are they casting actor's so much older then superman that doesn't feel right doesn't make sense

Brenton Thwaites as Hal Jordan

[@STEVEBINNION1]

Boosters blond isn't he ... they need to stop getting things wrong 😂

[@okay__.]

Damson idris is a great actor I love him in snowfall but also I feel like he'd fit the role of a villain or anti hero better but someone who will continue going down the line and see his emotional acting capabilities, he's great as an evil or emotional character, I wanna see him as maybe black spider, bronze tiger, black mask, or somebody involved with checkmate

[@neeloreilly7163]

Im for josh brolin as green lantern becauses hes a good actor and he fits the age range of this interpretation of hal jordan. Which is definetely more interesting then the comic accurate hal jordan whos pretty much a waste of one of the best concepts and powers in DC. John stewart guy gardner kyle rayner and jessica cruz are better characters in so many respects.

[@gabriel_nilo]

Would go: Jake Gyllenhaal as Hal, Aaron Pierre as John
