Kyle Chandler has reportedly been cast as Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern in Lanterns, one of the upcoming TV shows in James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DCU slate.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chandler is set to don the green suit for the new show, which HBO ordered direct to series back in June. The True Detective-style take on the DC hero focuses on Hal Jordan reluctantly mentoring a younger Lantern, John Stewart, and sees the two characters investigating an Earth-bound murder with larger implications. Josh Brolin was reportedly in talks to star but ultimately passed.
