Aaron Pierre's GREEN LANTERN Has Joined the Cast of DC's SUPERMAN Sequel MAN OF TOMORROW
This August, DC is releasing the first season of the new series Lanterns, starring Aaron Pierre as John Stewart aka Green Lantern, and now we know this won’t be the only time we see him in the role.
Pierre just joined the cast of James Gunn’s Superman (2025) sequel, Man of Tomorrow, which is set to fly into theatres on July 9, 2027.
Gunn wrote the script and is directing Man of Tomorrow, which is due to begin production this summer in Atlanta.
David Corenswet is back as Superman, and Nicholas Hoult returns as Lex Luthor in a story that sees the two team up to fight the technological alien threat known as Brainiac. German actor Lars Eidinger is playing the latter, one of Superman’s classic villains.
The sequel is due to bring back most of the cast including Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen) and Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher). Heroes returning include Hawkgirl, played by Isabela Merced, and The Engineer, played by Maria Gabriella de Faria.
Pierre as Stewart is part of Gunn’s vision of having the DC screen universe, both the DC movies with the DC television shows, integrate seamlessly as one story universe.
Stewart is a Green Lantern, one of the space cops patrolling Earth and its sector as part of the Green Lantern Corps, and his appearance make tonal sense as both Superman and Brainiac are space-faring characters with alien origins.
Pierre is making his debut as the character in Lanterns, DC Studios’ first live-action series outing that will debut in August.
