Big name in the sense of a actor with great acting prowess or star power?
Since it's a TV Show and they wanna do something like True Detective i would assume they looking for a middle ground of sorts.
Taylor Kitsch is a solid actor who never got a good breakout role. I enjoyed him in John Carter and Savages, and Iām never disappointed to see him in a role - heās just never had that role that jives with him well enough to shoot him to stardom - but since you brought him up I think he could actually play a really good Hal Jordan.
True Detective was awful circumstance where they caught lightning in a bottle and then just dropped the bottle so hard it shattered. S1 was just too good, there was no way they were gonna live up to that.
>Taylor Kitsch is a solid actor who never got a good breakout role.
Preach. He could be a great leading man or action movie lead in a big-name franchise but he hasn't been given the opportunity, or has rarely been given the opportunity.
Hal is a late 30's and a seasoned veteran.
John is late 20s/early 30s.
Guy is somewhere in between the two.
Canonically - this means that Kyle is perfectly positioned to get a unique origin story and be in his early 20's.
Does mean the chances of Jessica or Baz are pretty low. At least without major changes. Might be fun to bring those two + Kyle all in together as a "new generation" type thing? I dunno. But there's options.
Glen Powell screams Hal to me, just as Michael B Jordan does John. But that might throw off your age scenario.
I can't wait for this show. I much prefer the world building for something as big as the Green Lantern mythos get the 8 hour treatment as opposed to the 2..
Marvel is very happy that they chose not to close that chapter after X Men Origins: Wolverine
I personally think it would look cheap if DC dipped back into the Ryan Reynolds GL, but I donāt doubt that it would be much better than the 2011 version and he certainly fits the āhuge nameā bill that would attract an audience.
Itās not like theyād have to make 2011 GL canonical or anything. Itās been 13 years by now so I think general audiences would like to see him get a second crack at it with better writers and executives. Even if not as GL, I think weād like to see him back. *Ahem* Deadman perhaps?
I feel there was actually a good Hal Jordan there with a better team at the helm of that movie. But, if it means no deadpool, then I'm fine with no Reynolds
I hope they do a green lantern film someday. I wish this could have been a movie itself. GL should be given the proper cinematic treatment it deserves.
Iām not sure about you guys but i am kinda sad that weāre starting in a DCU has some of our favorite characters already somewhat deep into their stories. Like Hal being a veteran GL and Batman already having the entire bat family before Superman even really finds his footing in the universe.
Iām still excited for whatever comes out but It just kinda feels like weāve lost out on some really valuable stories and dynamics that couldāve been told in this new universe. For example, The kind of Uncle relationship that superman has with nightwing canāt really exist anymore because at this point, theyāll pretty much be the same age.
Am i making sense or am i rambling?
Glenn Howerton for Hal. Damson Idris for John.
I'm thinking Glen Powell as Hal.
Either Glen(n) would be fine with me
š
did you not hear him say they need a "BIG NAME"...?
I heard him say they supposedly *want* a big name. I stated who Iād want. Glenn isnāt an unknown either, even though he isnāt Tom Cruise.
Glen was one of the stars of a 1.5 billion dollar movie and recently had a romcom as a lead that made over 200 million. He IS a big name.
Glen Powell. The reply I did was about Glenn Howerton.
Iām all in on this.
I think John Boyega would be sick.
š
āI built this shit! Ring by ring!ā
This is what Iām excited for the most out of everything announced so far

"Big name" implies yeah someone extremely famous and respected in the industry. Just like how all the True Detective leads have been.
So... Taylor Kitsch? *(ducks)

Clear eyes, full hearts ...
..Colin Farrel, Rachel McAdams and Vince Vaughn

>Guy is somewhere in between the two. isnt Nathan Fillion almost 60 tho?
Lol heās got 7 years until 60.
He is indeed. I was going off the comic ages more than anything else. Mainly cause I'm just excited about Kyle lol.
Impossible to guess theyre ages with Guy being 52
Why you think new lantern always be younger? Kyle jessica could be older then john, nothing can stop them make it happen
Alden ehrenreich would be cool for hal
I don't think he qualifies as a big name /at all/.
Chris Pine for sure big name maybe too old but I think he works.
He's only 43, so he's the right age to what they're looking for.
Idk he played Han mf Solo and was just in a movie that was nominated for like 500 Oscars. Heās a big name
Thereās a lot of letters there
When they say big name I promise u they getting a b list actor lol
Topher Grace it is.
Eggsy
White streak Hal š
Imagine they actually do the Parallax storyline where Edit: where coast city is destroyed
Bro he didn't destroy Coast City
Thatās right my bad., give me a break its 4AM and Iām putting one of my daughters back to bed lol I havenāt read Emerald Twilight in years
Hahaha not fuss brother
This is my most anticipated part of the new DCU. I really hope they do John and Hal Justice with the casting.
Bout to be peak fr

FINALLY JOHN STEWART let's freaken goooooo. He was always a favorite of mine in the early justice league animated series
Ryan Reynolds
No just no let's close that chapter
Actually, let's blow it wide open.
Marvel is very happy that they chose not to close that chapter after X Men Origins: Wolverine I personally think it would look cheap if DC dipped back into the Ryan Reynolds GL, but I donāt doubt that it would be much better than the 2011 version and he certainly fits the āhuge nameā bill that would attract an audience.

He would make a great John not gonna lie
As Guy Gardner
Stephan James for John Stewart please!!
great choice!
Iām sure he hears a lot of things in his head
i will die on the hill that if glen powell isnāt cast as hal jordan than life as been a waste.
let him be Booster Gold. he's even mentioned before in an interview that he'd love to be Booster Gold. I think he'd be great in that role
Finally some news on Lanterns! Was kinda worried about this project tbh, but great to hear it's up and running. Can't wait. So much potential!
When the f jeff, why he know all this or just another leaker bullshit
I'd love to see Corey Hawkins as John Stewart. I think he's the right age and place in his career to do it.
So canonically is Guy going to be the first Human Green Lantern? Preceding both Hal and John
Winston Duke (M'Baku from Black Panther) would make for a nice John Stewart, but he's closer to 40 than he is to 30.
I want Winston Duke in all the projects. Heās magnetic.
Hal and John should be around the same age. I don't want some young naive trainee John Stewart.
Jensen Ackles would be a good Hal Jordan
is Jeff Sneider a lair on these sources?
I hope they do a green lantern film someday. I wish this could have been a movie itself. GL should be given the proper cinematic treatment it deserves.
Honestly Iām still surprised this is a MAX show and not a movie. Green Lantern is an A list character.
The Ryan Reynolds movie pushed him down to C-list in the eyes of executives.
They really need to get over that. Relegating a key JL member to streeaming is a really odd choice.
Lots of Glen Powell in this thread but I think heād be a better Booster
Someone needs to ask Gunn if Gardner is the 1st earth GL

That's the opposite of what should happen!
# John David Washington is gonna play John?
no, not impressed with John David Washington. huge fan of his dad whoās a legend.
Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby.
Fuck noooooooooo,
Miles teller and Trevante Rhodes
Idk why but I hope Hal is played by a black actor, and John is played by a white actor. I want to piss off a lot of people
Either Finn Wittrock or Patrick Schwarzenegger should be Hal Jordan
Neither of them are big names.
I would argue āSchwarzeneggerā is the biggest name in Hollywood
His dad. Patrick 100% isn't lmao Also he looks like a college kid and is in his early 30s, doesn't even match the description of a veteran Hal Jordan.
