Insider Claims We Have a Fortrunner for the Role of John Stewart in the ‘Lanterns’ Show

by

As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say, the rumors surrounding the upcoming DCU Lanterns series have me buzzing with excitement! The prospect of John Stewart taking center stage is particularly intriguing, as he’s long been one of my favorite Green Lanterns.

If you haven’t heard, the DC Universe is currently searching for their Hal Jordan, mainly for the Green Lanterns series, though he might also appear in future projects. The top contender for the part was Josh Brolin, but Ewan McGregor, Timothy Olyphant, and Chris Pine are also being mentioned as possibilities according to whispers. Since Brolin has turned down the role, we’re unsure who will play Hal Jordan, but it seems likely that an older actor will be chosen, as previously hinted.

Moving on to another topic, let’s discuss John Stewart. As our data indicates, he will be the main character in the series, and yet there seems to be little conversation regarding his casting. Let’s leave that behind now.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve got some exciting scoop! It seems the Green Lantern franchise is on the hunt for a fresh talent to embody one of the most iconic Green Lanterns ever. From what I’ve heard from my trusted Hollywood source, there’s a front-runner for the role – an actor whose work you might recognize from movies like ‘Elvis’ and ‘Chevalier’. Could this be the breakthrough role we’ve been waiting for? Only time will tell!

In a recent update, it’s been revealed that Josh Brolin turned down the role of Hal Jordan in the series, which is said to possess a hard-boiled “True Detective” feel as it centers around Jordan training a younger Lantern, John Stewart. Historically one of DC Comics’ first Black superheroes, Stewart and Jordan work together to unravel an Earth-bound murder that holds significant broader implications.

It’s clear that John Stewart will be the main character in the series, leaving no room for doubt. However, it’s interesting to note that there appears to be relatively little excitement about this character or who will portray him in the show. There could be various explanations for this lack of interest, but at this point, it seems we’ve moved past that topic. Notably, a well-known industry source, DanielRPK, has suggested that Kelvin Harrison Jr. is currently leading the race to land the role.

Certainly, it’s not an announcement, but Harrison Jr.’s casting seems fitting; his performance in the movie “Elvis” left an impression, and if this rumor is correct, the series could indeed welcome a notable talent. Here’s what fans are saying about it:

He’s a fantastic actor and would bring a lot to the character.
