While we wait for David Corenswet to take off like a speeding bullet in Superman this year, there's another project on DC's pile that is beginning to brighten up a little. Lanterns will follow space-based law enforcers, the Green Lantern Corp, and two of its most legendary members, Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre). The new series will focus on their initial encounter with one another, with Jordan having been a ring slinger for a few years already and Stewart as his new hot-shot recruit.
When it was initially announced, Lanterns was being pitched as DC's answer to True Detective, with two mismatched heroes bringing down the intergalactic law on a case that sends them back to Earth. "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," director James Hawes explained to The Hollywood Reporter about his next big gig working alongside showrunner Chris Mundy.
