As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for pop culture and a heart full of nostalgia for the DC Universe, I must say that this recent announcement has filled me with nothing but excitement! Having grown up watching the Justice League animated series and admiring the courageous John Stewart, I can’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction seeing Aaron Pierre taking on the role.


Following various speculations about his role, it has been confirmed that Aaron Pierre is set to portray John Stewart, also known as Green Lantern, in the upcoming HBO series titled “Lanterns“. This is the first television project from DC Studios under the guidance of James Gunn and Peter Safran.

For those unaware, John Stewart is a cherished superhero, often considered the epitome of Green Lantern. He is also noteworthy for being among the earliest Black characters in the DC universe to possess superpowers.

Additionally, the animated series we fondly remember, Justice League, featured Stewart’s character, who joined forces with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Hawkgirl, along with The Martian Manhunter.

Indeed, this development has generated quite a buzz, prompting devoted fans of the DC Universe to share their excitement and eagerness on social platforms, displaying feelings of joy and anticipation.

He already has those striking green eyes, which saves on CGI costs. A smart decision, it seems.

In response to the astonishing revelation, another Reddit user expressed that the veteran actor could potentially lead a franchise. Excitement certainly builds as we anticipate his role in the Green Lantern series.

People who watched him act in the Netflix production couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow! He nailed it in Rebel Ridge.” His presence was described as “impressive” by one commenter on Reddit, while another remarked, “You could really see the ex-military John Stewart in him.

It appears that Aaron Piere is well-suited and ready to give an outstanding performance as John Stewart in the upcoming series “Lanterns“.

“Wow, the angles on this man’s face are perfect for comic book movies; he seems like he was born for the role!” said one user, while another commented, “He looks incredibly similar to the animated John Stewart from the series. His eyes are particularly striking and intense.” The user also expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming series.

The John Stewart character, played by an unnamed actor, has also been confirmed as part of the same DC Studios series as Green Lantern (Hal Jordan).

Kyle Chandler, renowned for his roles in Friday Night Lights and Early Edition, has been formally inducted into the DC Universe, taking on the role of Hal Jordan. The director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 shared an animated depiction of Hal Jordan alongside a photo of Chandler on Instagram.

The CEO of DC Studios amazed everyone with the caption, “Welcome to the DCU, Kyle Chandler! Now our Hal Jordan in #Lanterns.”

According to ComicBook.com, the series “Lanterns” is set to tell the story of a new member, John Stewart, and his seasoned guide, Hal Jordan, as they work together to unravel earth’s puzzling enigmas.

Although a specific release date hasn’t been announced yet, this upcoming series will feature these two space-faring police officers investigating a murder mystery.
