Hal Jordan offers ring action in a promo announcing a new teaser for Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler-starring Lanterns hitting on Monday. Lanterns drops a new teaser Monday, with the announcement promo offering fresh Hal Jordan ring action ahead of the reveal.
Chris Mundy says Lanterns unfolds across 2016 and 2026, building two connected mysteries in an HBO-style crime drama. Lanterns keeps its Green Lantern roots, with Mundy promising grounded storytelling, practical locations, and plenty of green. New Lanterns details hint Sinestro may not be the main villain, while Hal, John, and Guy Gardner shape the DCU story. Earlier today, an announcement teaser went out that also included a look at Hal Jordan putting his ring to some good use.
Here's a look at the announcement promo that hit earlier today, with a new teaser for HBO Max and DC Studios': The series kicks off in 2016, with a shooting in the town of Rushville, Neb. Having kept an eye on the town, Hal is certain that the incident was alien-related – but Sheriff Kerry isn't convinced. But the series will also focus on"something else" that's going down in 2026.
"That becomes a second mystery that we know is down the road for us. So eventually two different mysteries get worked out over the course of the show," Mundy shared. As we've heard in the past, Mundy makes a comparison to how HBO'swas structured.
"It was less of a whodunnit as much as like, what happened and why? We think of this as a relationship show between John and Hal, and there's a lot to unpack over the course of the eight episodes," the showrunner added. In that ten-year gap, the events of DC Studios' Superman will have taken place, with Nathan Fillion's"fabulously obnoxious" Guy Gardner set to"be in the show a few different times.
" Mundy added,"There are a bunch of other people from the mythology, from the canon, but not the other Lanterns. We talk about them at different times, but they're not gonna interact with them in the course of this season.
": "Obviously in the canon, Sinestro's the big bad. The thing that interests us is this idea Hal was trained by Sinestro, Hal is training John. In the coaching tree, we're very interested in what gets passed on, what doesn't, how much is human nature. We talked a lot about programming and parenting and training…What did Hal take away from Sinestro that was good or bad?
It brings up a lot of interesting worries," Mundy noted. : Mundy made it clear that"there's plenty" of visual effects in the series, but the foundation is grounded.
"There are a couple episodes where they're incredibly heavy, but from the jump, it's a much more boots-on-the-ground approach," Munday shared. "It's a Green Lantern show, so there's green. " "The aesthetic of the show – it's supposed to be very grounded and real, so we're shooting practically in places," the showrunner continued. "We're not heavily green-screened.
It's not like day glow in its presentation of anything. I think Green Lantern fans will not feel like we've somehow made a brown show of their green comic at all. It's very much 'we're in the world,' and then when we use the constructs, they're what people would expect them to be.
":"We could have put out a trailer that was tremendously green. So the fact that people are talking about it just means, to me, that they're excited about the show. We have a lot of respect for the source material, otherwise we wouldn't be doing this show. I think when people see it, it won't be a controversy.
", King offered insights into why Chandler and Pierre are perfect for the series and what each brings to the table. "Oh god, Kyle is so good," King shared in the episode above . "When he showed up and just… he got it. Just like the first day, you were like, 'Oh!
'" King went on to explain that he wasn't sure what to expect based on Chandler's previous work and how King envisioned Hal Jordan. "You know, Kyle's got kind of a southern vibe, and I always think of Hal as kind of a California guy – being a California guy myself.
" But it didn't take long for Chandler to win him over with his take on the ring-slinging hero, with King sharing,"he fit it so perfectly, that kind of that that combination of arrogance and yet like a grounded arrogance, that's how Jordan is. " King compared his vision of Hal Jordan as someone who's"got that sort of Captain Kirk in him. He's got that fearlessness. He asks if God needs a starship.
Like, that's who Hal Jordan is. It's no fear, you know? It's 'no fear, all sky," was what I put in my book. And Kyle just immediately got it and occupied that and had that kind of cockiness, but like an everyday cocky; that kind of Harrison Ford cockiness, you know, like that movie star, that is just perfect.
" "Aaron Pierre is just, you know, he's a rocket ship. He's launching. He's the next… You know, he's going to be on every billboard in our lives next 20 years. He's a huge movie star.
He's in the he's in the new 'Star Wars' movie, if people don't know. And he's just… he is John Stewart," King added about Pierre.
"When I first time I met him, I was like, 'Oh my god, you're a superhero. ' When you look him in the face, you're like, 'That is a superhero. I'm meeting a superhero in person.
' That's what it's like to meet him – and the nicest guy in the world. Both of them are just very down-to-earth and had no airs at all, even though they're huge stars, and treated this little nerdy comic book person with such kindness. I was very grateful.
" Make sure to check out the entire episode above, with King also discussing what it was like working with television heavy-hitters Mundy and Lindelof and what he learned from the experience.comparisons, what Pierre brings to the series, and how it's been working with DC Studios::"Talking tone, it looks and feels rooted. You meet two guys, but there is wit and comedy to it that you would not expect in 'True Detective.
' It is, in many ways, a buddy cop structure with travel in the story time, to and fro, that is really sophisticated. Chris Mundy has done the most amazing job with the team there, and so I think is valid. People will still go, 'What were you talking about?
' to some extent, but I would also bring in 'No Country for Old Men,' 'Fargo,' and things that have that Americana heart to them. There's a wry humor, and so there definitely is more wit and humor than there is in 'True Detective.
'":"I honestly think he did it totally individually in the room. With some chemistry castings and the like, it just felt like he would inhabit the role. He has such a magnificent presence. He feels so forceful, so cool, so understated.
Again, I wanted this world to be rooted, and while there's only so far you can go with rooting characters in a show about Green Lantern, they are. This is a world where we accept that the Green Lanterns exist and aliens exist. So the rest of it is played straight and in the world as we know it.
":"Well, I can only tell you from my experience, which is that it has been inspiring and supportive and truly thrilling. I will know more in a few months' time, but right now, just felt like a real burst of creative energy. The series spotlights new recruit John Stewart and legendary Lantern Hal Jordan , two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.
