Lanterns: Josh Brolin Reveals Why He Passed On Playing Hal Jordan In HBO's Dcu Series

When HBO and DC Studios were casting Lanterns, Avengers: Infinity War star Josh Brolin was said to be in the mix to play the Dcu's Hal Jordan. The news generated excitement among fans, but we quickly learned that he'd passed on the role. DC Studios has struggled to attract A-list talent since launching at the start of 2023, though everyone has praised Kyle Chandler's take on Hal. While the show's take on the character has divided opinions, Chandler's performance has won over even the biggest sceptics. During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter for Whalefall, Brolin was asked about the cancellation of Outer Range, and he described the decision as "heartbreaking.

Lanterns Season 2: DC Boss Says Series Will Only Return "If We Can Come Up With A Worthy Successor"

Despite critical acclaim and strong viewership numbers, Lanterns has yet to be officially renewed for a second season. A new writing team has been assembled in anticipation of the greenlight - Chris Mundy is expected to return as showrunner, without writers Damon Lindelof and Tom King; Vanessa Baden Kelly will be back, along with new scribes Christopher Cantwell, Nakkiah Lui, Zack Whedon, and Selwyn Seyfu Hinds - but it sounds like the show continuing for another run is far from guaranteed. "This was one great season of television based on a property that had been somewhat irradiated since 2011, right?" DC Studios co-ceo Peter Safran told Collider when asked for an update.

Lanterns Writer Tom King Explains Why [Spoiler] Got Away With Killing Hal Jordan

The "Lanterns" Season 1 finale finally revealed who killed Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), a mystery that was set up in the show's first episode. In the end, Hal's murderer turns out to be none other than Sheriff Kerry Kane (Kelly Macdonald), who kills him after reveals that he knows her son, Noah, is part Manhunter. In another shocking twist, John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) lets Kerry off scot-free, since he doesn't think that Hal would have wanted her punished for the murder.
