Aaron Pierre’s All Charged Up to Power Up DC’s Green Lantern in New Series: ‘Going to All…’

Lights, camera, and… Lanterns? Oh yes, Bollywood Newshound Nisha here, ready to spill the beans on the latest DC Universe drama—straight from the source to your screen!

Hold on to your popcorn, folks, because Aaron Pierre is about to light up your world as John Stewart, aka the Green Lantern. 🎬✨ At the 2025 ABFF Honors, Pierre spilled the tea about his superhero gig, and it’s safe to say he’s got his game face on—locked, loaded, and laser-focused. Filming kicked off earlier this month in the City of Angels, and our titular hero has been in superhero mode since he snagged the role last October.

Pierre has got his heart set on doing justice—pun intended—to the iconic emerald crusader. He insists, "I’m going to do everything in my power to bring him to life in a way that resonates with the people and celebrates that character." Talk about commitment! 💪

Now, let’s take a quick detour down memory lane. Remember the 2017 Justice League drama? Fans were not happy campers until the Snyder Cut swooped in to save the day in 2021. And who could forget The Batman, with Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz dazzling us while raking in over $700 million in 2022? 🦇💰 Meanwhile, Superman, with David Corenswet leading the charge, is soaring towards us this year.

Back to Lanterns—this series was part of the DCU slate announced in early 2023. With Chris Mundy at the helm as showrunner and James Hawes set to direct the first couple of episodes, it’s shaping up to be a cosmic rollercoaster. Kyle Chandler steps in as Hal Jordan, the OG Green Lantern, who finds himself playing mentor to newbie John Stewart. Together, they dive into a “dark, Earth-based mystery” that’s sure to keep us on the edge of our seats. 🌌🔍

And for those wondering when they can catch this interstellar ride, Lanterns is set to beam onto HBO’s Max in 2026. Set your reminders, people!
