Season 5 of The Rookie ended on a couple of cliffhangers back in the spring, but now there’s a big question about the upcoming sixth season that has nothing to do with whether Thorsen will recover and what the bad guys have planned for Los Angeles. Star Nathan Fillion has reportedly been cast to play Green Lantern Guy Gardner in the highly-anticipated Superman: Legacy. While that’s great news for fans of the actor who have been wanting to see him as a Green Lantern in live-action after voicing one in various animated movies, fans of The Rookie may have reason to worry about John Nolan's screentime in Season 6.
Nathan Fillion hasn’t commented one way or the other about Superman: Legacy at the time of writing, although he did express his excitement about the sixth season when The Rookie was renewed. So, for now, let’s look at what we do know so far about both The Rookie and the upcoming Man of Steel movie to see what we can deduce about Season 6.
