Kyle Chandler Cast As Hal Jordan In DCU ‘Lanterns’ Series

Buy Me A Coffee

Kyle Chandler is blasting off into the DC Universe! Yes, you heard that right—Coach Taylor himself is trading in his football whistle for a glowing green ring and joining the Lantern Corps. Somewhere out there, a football field is shedding a single tear.

The 59-year-old actor, best known for making you believe that “Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose,” is now suiting up as Hal Jordan, a legendary Green Lantern. After rumors swirled like a high school gossip chain, James Gunn, the man currently holding the keys to the DCU, made it official on social media with all the subtlety of a Comic-Con trailer: “Welcome to the DCU, Kyle Chandler! Now our Hal Jordan in #Lanterns.” That’s right, Gunn casually dropped that bombshell on the internet, as if we wouldn’t all need a moment to collect ourselves.

So what’s this Lanterns show all about? Well, get ready for a cosmic buddy-cop series with extra space lasers and less paperwork. The show will follow two Green Lanterns: new recruit John Stewart (no, not the guy from The Daily Show, calm down) and seasoned legend Hal Jordan, as they stumble upon a “dark, earth-based mystery.” Sounds like your classic murder mystery but with more glowing green constructs and fewer musty detective coats.

Gunn previously described Lanterns as a “big premiere HBO series.” So, you know, like True Detective, but with less Louisiana swamp and more intergalactic patrolling. Imagine Matthew McConaughey’s Rust Cohle but with a glowing ring, constantly muttering about the universe being a flat circle. “Alright, alright, alright,” but make it *space*.

Oh, and did we mention the stakes? Apparently, this mystery ties into the biggest story in the DCU. So if you thought the Green Lanterns were just floating around space creating giant boxing gloves with their rings, think again. These space cops are diving into something huge. Maybe it’s space taxes. Maybe it’s aliens stealing the last slice of pizza. Either way, Chandler’s got this.
