Nathan Fillion was announced to be the next Green Lantern in the rebook of the DC Universe with James Gunn’s upcoming movie, Superman: Legacy.
Previously the DC hero was played by Ryan Reynolds in the 2010 movie, Green Lantern; which was also one of the most trolled heroes in the DC.
While Reynolds portrayed the role of Hal Jordan in the movie, Fillion will be taking on a different character. The Castle actor will be playing Guy Gardener, who is a known member of the Green Lantern Corps in the DC Comics.
Apart from Fillion, Variety reported that two more cast members have been added to the upcoming movie.
Isabela Merced, of Dora and the Lost City of Gold, will be taking on the role of Hawkgirl, who is brave and fearless individual with superpowers and has the ability to fly with her metal wings.
Edi Gathegi, of X-Men: First Class, will play Mister Terrific, who is an incredibly intelligent hero who obtains his power from the T-Sphere inventions he created.
Superman: Legacy is well underway despite the ongoing writers’ strike, with Gunn announcing in April that the movie had entered pre-production.
The upcoming movie will mark the beginning of Gunn and co-DC Studios CEO Peter Safran’s revamped DCU on the big screen.
The reboot of the DCU was announced in January, which is when he announced his plans for Superman: Legacy.
Superman: Legacy will star David Corenswet as Clark Kent. The actor joined the project alongside Rachel Brosnahan, who will play the latest version of Lois Lane, the Daily Planet's star reporter and Superman's primary love interest.
