The New Addition to ‘Lanterns’ Could Be the Series’ Villain, but Also Someone Even Bigger

As a seasoned gamer and long-time comic book enthusiast, I must admit that the casting of Garret Dillahunt in the upcoming DC’s Lanterns series has me intrigued. With my fingers crossed and heart pounding with anticipation, I find myself drawn back to the days when I spent countless hours poring over DC comics, engrossed in their rich mythos.


The DC Comics and HBO’s upcoming show titled Lanterns appears to be quite intriguing. Despite facing a string of initial hurdles, the series is gradually assembling its cast, with some captivating talents signing on, and it looks like the latest confirmed actor could hint at the antagonist in the storyline.

It’s likely you’re aware that Garret Dillahunt has been cast in the upcoming series for the role of a man who appears to be self-righteous and conspiracy-minded, with his cold ambition hidden beneath a friendly and calculated exterior. However, some fans speculate that this character description might hint at deeper layers.

Apparently, speculations and assumptions on various online platforms suggest that Dillahunt’s character could be the primary antagonist of the series or linked to the sinister force driving it. However, there’s a popular theory floating around that the storyline may not conclude with Lanterns and instead, we might continue to explore their relationship in future installments.

The storyline of Lanterns remains shrouded in enigma. It’s been revealed that it will be a murder mystery set on Earth, drawing inspiration from the series True Detective. As stated by James Gunn, the plot serves as a piece within the larger narrative woven across various films and TV shows. This tale introduces an Ancient Horror found on our planet, and the characters are essentially super-powered cops operating in their precinct on Earth.

The upcoming series features two Green Lanterns – an older one (Hal Jordan) and a younger one (John Stewart) – hinting at the expansion of the Green Lantern universe. However, since Kyle Chandler is only committed to the series and not any movies, it’s possible we won’t see Hal Jordan in future endeavors. Garren Dillahunt might play a role in this.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve just finished reading up on this character’s official background, and given the details at hand, it seems plausible that he could be connected to a sinister cult. When we’re discussing cults and Green Lantern, one name immediately springs to mind as a prime suspect for the main antagonist, considering Gunn’s recent hints about an “Ancient Horror on Earth.” Let’s delve deeper into this intriguing possibility.

“Conspiracy minded”
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Centre have a cult on earth?

It appears this setting might feature the potential primary antagonist for the initial phase of the DC Universe – the Centre, who seems to embody both deity and beast-like qualities. I’m curious about fan reactions; let me take a look:

The predictions made by the tipster about the Center being the main antagonist have proven accurate.

It appears to me, based on what’s been shared so far, that many elements found in The New Frontier comics resonate strongly with me in the DC Universe. Specifically, the aspect of government intervention is strikingly similar.

Yep, I’m was saying he’s maybe first evil Chapter 1(my theory The Centre it’s main Island from Creature commandos) and all heroes in ending fight with him, maybe even retired Hal, which after s1 can go on pension @LanternUpdates @TropaLanterna
