DCU’s ‘Lanterns’ Star Confirms The Guardians of the Universe & Sinestro Will Make an Apperance in the show

‘Lanterns’ is easily one of the most exciting projects for fans to look forward to in DCU’s Chapter 1. Initially, many were surprised by its description as a grounded, Earth-bound adventure in the vein of True Detective and Slow Horses, but the anticipation has been steadily growing.

The show stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, two of the most popular Green Lanterns out there. We can also presumably expect Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner to make an appearance considering we’ve already seen him in the role in ‘Superman’ set leaks and trailer.

Aside from that, we know very little about the show, aside from occasional rumors that likely won’t be confirmed for a long time. However, one of the show’s stars, Poorna Jagannathan, who plays Zoe, has confirmed that the Guardians of the Universe will appear alongside familiar characters like the Green Lanterns and Sinestro.

The Guardians of the Universe are ancient, powerful beings who oversee the Green Lantern Corps, serving as their leaders and guiding them in their mission to maintain order across the cosmos.

Jagannathan also hinted that the show will explore complex character dynamics, where the lines between heroes and villains may not be so clear-cut. This suggests that Lanterns will offer a fresh take on the Green Lantern mythology, potentially challenging traditional notions of good and evil while staying true to the essence of the franchise.

“It’s all the characters you love and know,” Jagannathan said “the Lanterns, the Guardians, and Sinestro, all that world is still in tact and yet everyone is presented as hero and villain.“

The showrunners recently confirmed that ‘Lanterns’ exists as its own standalone story, separate from other DC Studios projects. While not currently part of a larger interconnected plan, Season 1 is designed as a complete, self-contained narrative with the potential to expand into multiple seasons.

The show currently doesn’t have a set release date, but we’re excited to announce that it has officially entered production.
