Fillion to Play Guy Gardner in DC's Lanterns

Nathan Fillion will debut as Guy Gardner, a divisive Green Lantern character, in the upcoming 'Superman' movie and will reprise his role in HBO's 'Lanterns' series. The series, co-written and executive produced by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, will feature Fillion alongside Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart. 'Lanterns' is a part of the new DCU slate led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, portrayed as a gritty, Earth-based detective story reminiscent of 'True Detective'. The show will explore the dynamics within the Green Lantern Corps and the investigation of a mysterious murder in the American heartland. Fillion's portrayal of Guy Gardner emphasizes his flaws and fearlessness, adding a unique dynamic to the series. The interconnected storytelling between the 'Superman' film and 'Lanterns' marks a strategic expansion of the DC universe into both film and television.
