Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern could be introduced as a much older hero in James Gunn’s DCU
DC Studios would have already found his Jordan Hal after an intense search.
James Gunn Wants an Older Green Lantern for Lanterns
According to the deadline, Kyle Chandler in talks with DC Studios to play Hal Jordan in the Lanterns series. The media clarifies that the deal has not yet been closed and also comments that they are still looking for the right star for the role of John Stuart (a character who, according to some rumors, could end up being the Green Lantern major). For its part, The Hollywood Reporter said that Chandler’s deal does not refer to any film projects, so it is speculated that he will likely only appear in Lanterns.
It’s quite strange that James Gunn is thinking of introducing such an old Hal Jordan, and if it’s true that he wants a very young John Stewart as the main Green Lantern of the DCUIIt seems even stranger to me. Many fans comment that we should wait to see how Gunn’s universe starts before criticizing his decisions, but the truth is that if a part of the audience is not convinced by some of his ideas, it’s okay to express them with respect.
We must remember that even though Gunn was very good as a writer and director, being the head of an entire studio and the mastermind of an entire cinematic universe is not the same thing. In recent months, fans of the filmmaker have been seen defending his every decision and talking about him as if he were the best thing that has ever happened to cinema (curiously, most of these fans do not like Zack Snyder and their followers to resemble a cult, however, they are slowly becoming one).
On the other hand, I don’t think Gunn is selling his universe in the best way (looking for comments that serve as a suggestion to Marvel Studios before officially starting his universe seems like a bad idea to me, not to mention that this was already done in the development phase). DCEU). Gunn’s followers also mention how he always talks about quality as a priority, but this should be taken as just a person selling his product (he won’t say that his projects will be mediocre).
Also a universe doesn’t work like that, you have to have a pretty clear path to know where everything is going, you can’t wait several years to complete a project necessary to advance to the conclusion of a chapter or a phase, and if that’s the case what happens is that they will have to constantly restructure their universe because some productions won’t arrive on time.
Finally, let’s remember that it was Gunn who said it The Flash It has been one of the best superhero movies of recent years, so the best thing we can do is wait to see what its universe has to offer and give our opinion on what it shows us about the productions already underway, as well as official information. news related to the DCU.
