Among the many projects they prepare Warner and DC on a small and large screen, undoubtedly one of the most anticipated is the Serie Green Lantern in order to HBO Max. The fiction, far from focusing on a single protagonist, will address the experiences of several members of this intergalactic guard.
Now the british Jaremy Irvine (War Horse, Mamma Mia! Over and Over, Treadstone) is in negotiations to give life to Alan Scott, as reported The Hollywood Reporter. Scott is one of the gay heroes of DC comics, although his homosexuality has not been addressed until the most recent comics.
Created in 1940, this wielder of the ring of power returned years later to the comics as a Lantern of a parallel Earth and, already in the 2000, with the development of the multiverse, he was presented as gay, leading a movement for greater inclusivity in publishing.
If the signing of Irvine is confirmed to Green Lantern, would join Finn Wittrock, who will play Guy Gardner, another of the Lanterns that will appear in this big-budget television project produced by Greg Berlanti Y Warner Bros. TV. Recall that Guy Gardner characters had already been discussed, Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz and Alan Scott, as well as Sinister Y Kilowog, for fiction.
The series has as scriptwriters Marc Guggenheim y Seth Grahame-Smith, who also signs as showrunner. These are two old acquaintances from the DC universe: Guggenheim has been behind Arrow Y Legends of Tomorrow, while Grahame-Smith was one of the screenwriters of Batman: The LEGO Movie Y Green Lantern, adaptation that starred Ryan Reynolds in 2011 and was massacred by critics.
Green Lantern is one more among the ambitious series that DC prepares for HBO Max. James Gunn is already rolling Peacemaker, the spin-off of his The Suicide Squad, and is also in development Gotham P.D., the drama about the Gotham police department, prequel to the film The Batman from Matt Reeves. What’s more, J.J. Abrams prepares several DC series, including Justice League Dark Y Constantine.
