Kelly MacDonald Approached for Mysterious Role in ‘Lanterns’!

A month ago, we had little information about the upcoming Lanterns series, but now the cast is starting to take shape. As of now, we know who will portray the two lead characters—Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart—who are central to the story.

Kyle Chandler is set to play Hal Jordan, who will take on the role of a reluctant mentor to John Stewart, portrayed by Aaron Pierre. Together, they will investigate a mysterious murder set in the heartland of America. However, that’s not the only update we have.

Several sources have reported that actress Kelly MacDonald has been offered a role as one of the two main female characters in the series. While details about her character remain under wraps, there are hints that something intriguing may be in store.

Before we dive into our analysis, here are the two reports we’ve gathered, as two different outlets have shared the same rumor:

While MyTimeToShineHello may not be the most dependable source, the fact that Nexus Point News is reporting the same rumor adds some credibility, as NPN is generally recognized for its reliable leaks and rumors.

However, it’s wise to take this information with a grain of salt until we receive official confirmation.

Regarding the role Kelly MacDonald may take on, it appears to be connected to the central murder mystery of the series, as her character is described as a local sheriff, which opens up numerous possibilities for speculation.

What remains unclear is whether she will be an original character or one linked to the broader Green Lantern lore.

Given that Hal Jordan is now older, it could go either way. Additionally, we don’t know if Hal will meet her character for the first time in the series or if they share a history as old acquaintances.

If she turns out to be an original character, there isn’t much to analyze, as her role would be open to interpretation, making speculation difficult.

However, if she portrays a character from the lore, the most likely candidate is Carol Ferris, Hal Jordan’s love interest in the comics. This could pave the way for exciting future developments, particularly the potential introduction of Star Sapphire, another significant figure from Green Lantern lore.

Regardless, this certainly opens up numerous thrilling possibilities for the series and its future, which is why we will continue to follow its progress and share updates.
