James Gunn has found the interpreters of the superheroes Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific and Metamorpho of the new DC cinematic universe.
After announcing the names of the interpreters of Superman and Lois Lane of his SuperMan: Legacy, James Gunn has found his Green Lantern!
And he didn’t look far since it was Nathan Fillon, recently cast in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and The Suicide Squad directed by James Gunn, who will play the superhero who received the ring. from Abin Sur. For the record, Nathan Fillon is one of James Gunn’s best friends. The director therefore offers him a cameo or a role in his films as soon as he can.
According varietyNathan Fillion will play the Guy Gardner version of Green Lantern in this reboot of Superman written and directed by James Gunn.
A choice that seems logical since the actor has already lent his voice to Green Lantern (but under the Hal Jordan incarnation) in several DC animated films.
This role has already been held by Ryan Reynolds in the much criticized film of the same name by Martin Campbell released in 2011.
