In its prior incarnation, the Green Lantern series had been teased as “the biggest DC show ever made” by Berlanti, with a budget of around $120 million. The Hollywood Reporter, which broke the story of the Green Lantern reorganization, notes that the changes to the show were made ahead of the arrival of James Gunn and Peter Safran as the new heads of DC Studios the two new execs don’t officially start until November 1. No details of a new writing staff, if one is even in place, have been revealed. It’s unclear whether the actors have been released from their contracts as part of the reorganization, but at least one figure from the previous regime is leaving: Seth Grahame-Smith, who had written all eight episodes of the earlier incarnation of the series. Previously, the series was to center around Guy Gardner and Alan Scott, with Finn Wittrock and Jeremy Irvine already cast in the roles. Phil LaMarr is the voice of Green Lantern / John Stewart in Justice League, and Taiten Kusunoki is the Japanese voice. He hit mainstream popularity when he was the featured Green Lantern in the. More than 15 years later, Common confirmed. It’s believed that Stewart was held back by DC when initially developing the series, but with the current changes at the top of DC’s multimedia plans, a number of things that had been in place are no longer the case. Perhaps the 2nd most popular Green Lantern, John Stewart was introduced in Green Lantern 87 in 1971/1972. At the time, Common was set to play the John Stewart Green Lantern, with actors like Armie Hammer, Adam Brody, and Jay Baruchel also expected to appear.
(No, it’s not Hal Jordan sorry, Silver Age fans.)Īccording to reports, the series, which has been in development for three years, with Greg Berlanti attached as executive producer, is being reworked, with John Stewart - one of DC’s most high-profile Black characters, as well as one of its earliest Black heroes, having been introduced in 1972’s Green Lantern #87 - now becoming the focus of the show. The Brightest Day is continuing at HBO Max, with the news that the streaming service is overhauling its Green Lantern series, with a new Lantern familiar to comic book fans at the center of events.
