SUPERMAN's Green Lantern Actor Nathan Fillion Says What He'd Like to See the Justice Gang Take On in the Future

DC’s Superman focused on the title hero during a difficult point in his life, where the world teetered between love and hate for him, he was reveling in a complicated, but wonderful new relationship, and he was up against a foe hellbent on his destruction.

Amid the chaos was a cast of allies under the working title of “The Justice Gang” who held their own in the ensemble, assisting Superman and providing the comic relief along the way.

The group is led by Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders, aka Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt, aka Mister Terrific. We know we will see these actors again, as James Gunn is establishing the DC movie universe to include these new characters, but we aren’t sure what the future holds for them.

But Fillion has some ideas. During a recent press day for the film, CinemaBlend reports that the team was asked what they would like to see next for their superhero team, and while Gathegi and Merced deferred to the mind of James Gunn, the actor who plays Guy Gardner, a.k.a. Green Lantern, offered a specific suggestion:

“In this film, I think we see the Justice Gang dealing with some gigantic, physical threats. I would love to see them have to deal with some kind of mystery. Do some detective work. Hit the streets.”

Merced was down with the idea, adding that she wouldn’t mind doing a Rian Johnson-type story, stating, “I love a mystery. Like a Knives Out kind of ensemble mystery.”

In Superman, The Justice Gang went up against the Kaiju that stomped its way into the streets of Metropolis, then they took the place of Superman in bringing down the Boravian invasion of Jarhanpur.

These were some major large-scale fights, and it sounds like Fillion would like to see the heroes use their brain power instead of their brawn for a change. But we will just have to wait and see what’s in store for this crew in the future of Gunn’s DC universe.
