DC Studios Casts Aaron Pierre as John Stewart in LANTERNS
Aaron Pierre (Rebel Ridge) is set to take on the role of John Stewart in DC Studios’ upcoming Green Lantern series Lanterns. He will star alongside Kyle Chandler who will play an older version of Hal Jordan.
The DC series will focus on new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, “two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.”
I’m not really familiar with Pierre’s work, but his Rebel Ridge series looks great. I just haven’t had a chance to watch it yet.
The project is being developed by Ozark’s Chris Mundy, Watchmen‘s Damon Lindelof, and comic book writer Tom King.
The series will consist of eight-episodes, and it’s produced by HBO in association with Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios. Mundy, who will serve as showrunner, Lindelof and King are co-writing and executive producing. James Hawes will direct the first two episodes and also will executive produce.
