Josh Brolin Confirms Exit from Green Lantern Series

Josh Brolin has confirmed he will not portray Hal Jordan in HBO's upcoming Green Lantern series, Lanterns, due to talks that 'didn’t work out'. He expressed his support for Kyle Chandler, who is now in discussions for the role, stating, 'I love him as an actor, I think he’s wonderful'. The series, which features Hal Jordan and John Stewart as they investigate a murder in the American heartland, is being developed by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, and is part of a larger unified DC Universe strategy overseen by James Gunn and Peter Safran. The show is expected to offer a unique detective narrative compared to typical superhero stories, with an eight-episode order already confirmed. Brolin hinted at the possibility of future involvement in the DC Universe, leaving fans speculating on potential roles for him later on.
