AceShowbiz - The Green Lantern TV series, simply titled "Lanterns", has reportedly offered the role of Hal Jordan to Josh Brolin, who previously portrayed Thanos in the MCU and Cable in "Deadpool 2". However, if Brolin declines the offer, sources claim that two other actors are being considered.

According to Jeff Sneider's "TheInSneider" newsletter, Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey is "next in line" for the role. McConaughey was previously considered for Ego the Living Planet in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" and voiced a cowboy variant of Deadpool in "Deadpool & Wolverine".

Star Wars' Ewan McGregor, who played Black Mask in "Birds of Prey", is also on the potential cast list.

The "Lanterns" series will follow new recruit John Stewart and veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan, who investigate a murder with dark connections to the American heartland. The show is said to draw inspiration from HBO's "True Detective".

Chris Mundy ("Ozark", "True Detective: Night Country") will serve as showrunner, alongside Damon Lindelof ("Watchmen", "The Leftovers") and Eisner-award winning comic scribe Tom King.

While fans await the casting announcement for "Lanterns", DC enthusiasts can look forward to Nathan Fillion debuting as Green Lantern Guy Gardner in the upcoming "Superman" movie scheduled for July 2025. It remains unclear if Fillion will reprise his role in the TV series.

The "Lanterns" series is still in development, with production expected to commence in early 2025 in the United Kingdom, targeting a potential 2026 release. The casting process for John Stewart, a younger Lantern mentored by Jordan, is also underway, seeking a Black actor between the ages of 27-35.
