Isnew DC Entertainment head honcho James Gunnalready cook moves?The Hollywood Reportersays no , but it certainly feel timely that one sidereal day after the announcement that Gunn would steer up all thing DC for Warner Bros. Discovery that the long - in - developmentGreen Lantern idiot box serieswould swivel to starJohn Stewart , best known for starring in the animated Justice League series .
Weirdly , it seems the Greg Berlanti - produced series was n’t allowed to apply Stewart , although the zillion other Lanterns were up for grabs . From THR : “ Sources say the quality of John Stewart was off the table to producer who envisioned the show as focusing on the first Green Lantern , the openly braw Alan Scott , and Guy Gardner as well as a ‘ multitude of other Lanterns — from laughable volume favourite to never - before - see hero . ’ With DC Comics topper Walter Hamada ’s late outlet , a decision was made to start over and build the show around John Stewart , the character who first look in the early seventies and was modeled after Sidney Poitier . ” While Guy Gardner is fun because he ’s a jerk , Alan Scott is a Golden Age hero who ’s rarely been explore , and Hal Jordan ’s “ personality ” could best be defined as “ square - jawed , ” so I think this move is for the good .
Seth Grahame - Smith , who was act as showrunner and had ostensibly finished eight full script for the series , has sidetrack the project . The fates of actors Finn Wittrock and Jeremy Irvine , who had been cast as Gardner and Scott respectively , are unknown , and neither is plain signed to the show .
