Josh Brolin has officially declined the role of Hal Jordan in the upcoming DC Studios series 'Lanterns', according to reports. This decision comes as the series, which is set to begin filming in January 2025, continues its search for a lead actor, with Matthew McConaughey also ruled out. Speculation suggests Chris Pine may be next in line for the role, though no formal announcement has been made. The series is being helmed by a notable creative team, including Chris Mundy and Damon Lindelof, and aims to deliver a gritty narrative akin to 'True Detective'. Previously, Brolin's foray into comic book adaptations has met with mixed success, and fans had varied reactions to his potential casting. 'Lanterns' aims to revitalize the Green Lantern franchise following past disappointments.
