Aaron Pierre has officially been cast as the iconic Green Lantern, John Stewart, in the highly anticipated DC Universe series Lanterns. This announcement set DC fans into a frenzy, with social media flooded by reactions ranging from excitement to awe over Pierre’s “perfect” casting.
John Stewart, one of the most beloved Green Lanterns, holds a special place in fans’ hearts as one of DC’s first Black superheroes. Pierre’s portrayal of this legendary character is expected to be a game-changer, with fans pointing out how his sharp features and “piercing green eyes” will save DC some money on CGI, as hilariously mentioned by Reddit users.
A Reddit fan couldn’t hold back, commenting, “The angles on this man’s face – made for comic book movies!” Others highlighted his “commanding” persona, reflecting John Stewart’s former military background, which fans grew up watching in Justice League animated series.
Adding to the hype, Kyle Chandler has been cast as Hal Jordan, Stewart’s mentor, making Lanterns a must-watch for DC fans. The duo will investigate earthbound mysteries, bringing justice and intergalactic adventures to screens soon, with fans eagerly awaiting the release.
Lanterns is set to redefine DCU’s television ventures under James Gunn’s leadership, with no release date yet, but it’s already one of the most anticipated series in the DC lineup!
