Josh Brolin Offered Role of Hal Jordan

Josh Brolin has reportedly been offered the role of an older Hal Jordan in HBO's upcoming series 'Lanterns,' which focuses on his mentorship of a younger Green Lantern, John Stewart. While Brolin is known for his roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and has previously played a DC character in 'Jonah Hex,' he has not yet entered formal negotiations and may decline the offer. The series is anticipated to start production in early 2025 and aims for a 2026 release, with its narrative described as reminiscent of 'True Detective.' Alongside Brolin, a Black actor aged 27-35 is being sought for the role of John Stewart, while Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner is set to make an appearance. Damon Lindelof, Chris Mundy, and Tom King are among the key creatives behind the project, which promises to deliver an adult-oriented storyline within the DC Universe. The show is expected to explore the dynamics between various Green Lanterns and their cosmic adventures, including a significant murder investigation.
