Sources suggest that Josh Brolin may have been offered the role of Hal Jordan in DC Studios’ Green Lantern film, although this information has not been officially confirmed.
The DC Universe under James Gunn’s direction has given fans glimpses into its future through Superman set photos and a teaser trailer for the forthcoming Creature Commandos; yet, most projects remain largely fluid, with few details concrete at this stage. In February, acclaimed creators Damon Lindelof, Jason Bateman, and comic book writer Tom King brought their expertise to Lanterns, a new series. Despite the excitement surrounding their involvement, it was premature to speculate about casting at this stage. According to reports from Nexus Level Information, the casting process for an upcoming project appears to be well underway, with Josh Brolin reportedly taking on the role of Hal Jordan.
It’s crucial to note that, allegedly, he has not formally taken up the role, which means he might not actually join the organization. As stipulated by Nexus Level Information, this iteration of Hal Jordan solidifies his status as a legendary Lantern and esteemed member of the intergalactic corps.
The latest development follows previous reports – an older Hal Jordan and a youthful, newer member of the Corps, John Stewart (a fan favorite among those who grew up on the Justice League animated series), are set to appear. The logline outlines their story: “Two intergalactic lawmen drawn into a dark, earth-based thriller as they investigate a murder in America’s heartland.”
The inclusion of Brolin would be a significant coup for the show, which received formal greenlighting from HBO in June. This move underscores the commitment by Gunn and his team to securing high-profile talent for their television projects. Although the next releases are uncertain, with Creature Commandos set for December, followed by James Gunn’s personal take on Superman sometime later?
