In brightest day on a Friday afternoon in San Diego, DC Comics debuted the new trailer for Lanterns. The new series, based on the mythos of the Green Lantern Corps, will debut next month on HBO, and Collider’s Samantha Coley was on the scene to report the latest news.
The series centers around two human members of the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic peacekeeping force: veteran Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), a cocky test pilot, and rookie John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), a thoughtful ex-Marine. While Jordan attempts to train Jordan in the ways of the Corps and the use of his will-powered Power Ring, they end up drawn into a mystery on Earth, involving the deep-seated secrets of a small community.
At the panel, the show’s creators unveiled a new trailer for the series, which is set to premiere on HBO August 16.
Who Are the Creatives Behind ‘Lanterns’?
Lanterns was created by Chris Mundy (True Detective), Damon Lindelof (Watchmen), and Tom King, the comics author behind the upcoming Mister Miracle animated series. In addition to the two stars, the series also features Kelly Macdonald (Boardwalk Empire), Garret Dillahunt (Deadwood), Poorna Jagannathan (Deli Boys), and Ulrich Thomsen (Banshee) as villainous ex-Green Lantern Sinestro. It takes place in the larger DC cinematic universe, and Green Lantern Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), who first appeared in last summer’s Superman, will make an appearance: Pierre’s John Stewart is also set to return in next year’s big-screen Superman adventure Man of Tomorrow.
Lanterns will premiere on HBO on August 16. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
