Die beiden bekannten amerikanischen Fernsehmacher Damon Lindelof und Chris Mundy zeichnen mit Tom King für das Pilot-Drehbuch und die Bibel der „Green Lantern“-Serie verantwortlich, die bei DC Studios in Entwicklung ist, wie Variety weiß. Diese bilden Marschrichtung und Vorlage für den Writers Room. Lindelof ist bestens bekannt als Co-Creator und Showrunner der massiv erfolgreichen Serie „Lost“, die in den USA von 2004 bis 2010 bei ABC lief sowie u.a. für die HBO-Formate „Watchmen“ und „The Leftovers”.

Back in 2023, more than a decade after the release of Ryan Reynolds’ infamous Green Lantern movie, James Gunn announced his plans for a Max series, Lanterns, focusing on the Emerald Knights. Although not much has been revealed about the potential show, rumors have floated around regarding the casting choice.

Damon Lindelof and Chris Mundy (“Ozark”) have joined DC’s upcoming Green Lantern series as writers.
DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn confirmed the news on Instagram Saturday, writing, “Yes, it’s true. The ‘Lanterns’ Dcu series is putting together a crack team of writers, based on a wonderful pilot script and bible by Chris Mundy, Tom King and Damon Lindelof.”
Lindelof is known as the co-creator and showrunner of the sci-fi series “Lost,” which ran from 2004 to 2010 on ABC, and the 2019 HBO limited series “Watchmen.” He also co-created and served as showrunner on the HBO supernatural series “The Leftovers.”
Mundy served as showrunner on the Netflix series “Ozark” from 2017 to 2022. He executive produced such series as “Criminal Minds,” “Cold Case,” “Bloodline” and “True Detective” Season 4.

DC Studios' upcoming Green Lantern TV show, "Lanterns," has assembled its writer corps. Co-CEO James Gunn confirmed on Instagram today that the series' pilot script and show bible was written by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and DC Comics writer Tom King, who has been part of the DC Universe's creative team since the start.
"Lanterns" was first announced in January 2023, along with the rest of the "Gods and Monsters" slate, as it's been dubbed by Gunn and his fellow co-ceo, Peter Safran. It's a soft reboot for the DC Extended Universe, which fizzled out into a succession of box office bombs, and is currently taking a bit of a breather while Gunn and Safran assemble this massive new slate of films and TV shows. Gunn is also getting personally stuck in, writing and directing the upcoming "Superman" movie reboot and continuing his creative duties on "Peacemaker" for season 2.

If there's one thing we've learned in this social media age, it's that some people have a very good memory (meaning a once innocent comment can come back to haunt even the best of us).
Earlier today, it was confirmed that Max's Lanterns has tapped Chris Mundy, Tom King, and Damon Lindelof to pen the pilot and a "bible" for the long-awaited TV series. Now, James Gunn's one-time thoughts on the latter have been revealed in a resurfaced Facebook comment.
Way back on March 18, 2012, the DC Studios co-ceo and Superman director said, "Lindelof is close to Satan in my book because of the end of Lost. He's the Uri Gellar of storytellers, a total scam artist with no integrity whatsoever. And a liar."

Emmy Award-winning Lost and Watchmen creator Damon Lindelof will work on the pilot script along with previously reported (but not confirmed) Ozark showrunner Chris Mundy and acclaimed comic book writer Tom King
“Yes, it’s true.

Glen Powell is a household name these days, thanks to the box office success of Top Gun: Maverick and the romantic comedy Anyone but You. Twisters is one of his upcoming films that will be released this summer. That being said, the actor, 35, appears to be part of every new project that is being announced daily.
Well, that does not imply, however, that the actor is accepting every offer. He has actually already passed up two enormous opportunities. Recently, Powell spoke with THR about his career to date, as well as his decisions for the future.

It seems, surprisingly, that he has already made a few big choices about future endeavors. In his interview, he did not specifically say that he would not play a superhero role in a movie. But rather than quoting directly, the article’s author suggested his selective casting process.

It has been over a decade since Ryan Reynold’s Green Lantern feature dropped, which not only bombed critically and commercially, but its failure led to WB putting the IP on ice. Fortunately, with the new regime in, fans will finally get to experience the Lanterns on the silver screen for the first time since 2011, as they are set to make their Dcu debut in the HBO show Lanterns.

Before James Gunn and Peter Safran were hired to take charge of DC Studios, a Green Lantern TV series was in the works revolving around Guy Gardner and Alan Scott.
The story was set to play out across two different time periods, deepening Lantern lore. However, while it was heading to Max, we expected it to be more in line with Titans and Doom Patrol rather than a big budget superhero series akin to those seen on Disney+, for example.
There was chatter about it tying into the planned Green Lantern Corps movie, though, and an impressive cast started coming together with Finn Wittrock tapped as Guy and Jeremy Irvine set to play Alan.
Now, Wittrock - best known for American Horror Story and All My Children - has broken his silence on being ousted from the role when DC Studios set out to reboot the Dceu as the Dcu.

As a film star, Ryan Gosling is the recipient of multiple titles, such as Gangster Squad and Drive. Even so, the actor, 43, has not yet made an appearance in the superhero genre, despite having received a few role offers from Marvel and DC Studios.
Have you ever been astounded by the fortunate decisions that Hollywood’s best actors make to shape their careers? Consider the Barbie star, a strategic mastermind, when it comes to career-defining decisions. The actor made an especially wise decision when he graciously stepped aside from donning the character of Green Lantern in Martin Campbell’s 2011 flick.

Science fiction fans remember the last four months of 2002 as a blessed but bedeviled time. "Firefly" became a 14-episode phenomenon, dead in the water before the season ended, but eternal in the hearts of its viewers. Their passion managed the impossible, reviving the show for a big-screen send-off in "Serenity" and several canonical comic book miniseries. To this day, crafters knit their own loving reconstructions of Jayne's remarkably orange hat. A Malcolm Reynolds -- or five -- can be found at any Sf convention, or recreated in video games by players aiming to misbehave.
The cast was chosen for their charisma and chemistry with each other, and that shines through in the ways they've found to reconnect over the years. Nathan Fillion is a particular lightning rod, doing voice work with Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk in "Halo 3," and co-starring with Tudyk on the web series "Con Man." But...

Ryan Reynolds’ career rose to entirely new heights after 2016 when he started playing the comic-accurate Deadpool. Even he would like to forget that first attempt to adapt the character in 2009’s ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine,’ as well as that badly-received ‘Green Lantern’ movie in which he played Hal Jordan. Thankfully, Deadpool fixed the timeline in the post-credit scene of ‘Deadpool 2’ and erased those two superhero roles Reynolds previously played from existence, or we like to pretend that he did, that is.
Reynolds played a lot of other roles in the last few years, but basically, every role of his now is very Deadpool-ish, only without a red spandex and a bit more family-friendly in some cases. However, that Deadpool charm is what makes Reynolds so beloved and popular among his fans, and everyone is excited to see more of his punchlines, great deliveries, and fourth-wall-breaking scenes in the upcoming ‘Deadpool 3.

Shazam star Zachary Levi is seemingly carrying the torch for comedy in superhero movies. Most of the ongoing DC slate has some element of comedy, from The Suicide Squad to the lighthearted tone of The Flash. But with Marvel’s Ant-Man going for a more serious science fiction tone, Levi’s character is starting to look a little lonely.

In 2011, the silver screen debut of Green Lantern landed like a thud instead of soaring like a triumph. The film was dismissed both by critics and wider audiences; one of the more positive reviews was Roger Ebert's middling praise, "['Green Lantern'] intends to be a sound-and-light show, assaulting the audience with sensational special effects. If that's what you want, that's what you get."
Time hasn't been any kinder to "Green Lantern." Star Ryan Reynolds has poked fun at it in both of his subsequent "Deadpool" movies. "Green Lantern" was conceived as the beginning of a larger DC Comics film franchise, meant to rival the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Instead, its hero has been persona non grata on film since. Green Lantern is usually a staple of the Justice League but in both versions of that film, the only Lantern who showed up was a cameo.

Looking back at the world of comic book movies in the mid-2000s almost feels like a glimpse into an alternate reality. Chris Evans was best known to nerdy moviegoers as the Human Torch in Fantastic Four while Ben Affleck was perhaps best forgotten as Matt Murdock in 2003’s Daredevil. In an era before the arrival of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, big, brash and mostly very bad comic book adaptations were commonplace.
Yet fans were arguably spared the biggest and brashest of them all following an online protest, the kind of which would soon become all-too-common within the world of fandom. For it was during the midpoint of that decade—a crossroads during which Christopher Nolan and Sam Raimi were still making the most popular superhero movies and Fox was “ending” the X-Men franchise with Brett Ratner—that plans were put into motion for a Green Lantern movie starring Jack Black.

Who wouldn't want to star in a superhero movie? Being surrounded by A-list actors, working on a property that has a built-in fanbase, working with top directors, having the chance to become a household name, and the possibility of even higher-paying work in the form of sequels — it seems like quite a cushy life. The genre has exploded in recent years, so much so that even superhero films that don't fare so well with critics still have a good chance of making a ton of money at the box office.
However, while it can be easy for those of us who don't work in the film industry to assume that making a big-budget Hollywood movie is all glitz and glamor, we mustn't forget that there is a whole host of problems that can arise when shooting a flick about Wonder Woman or Captain America. Personality clashes, creative differences, script changes,...

And there you have it.
DC had been pushing this event more than most, promising that it would be of huge significance going forward. Well, we’ve heard that quite a few times of late, so it’s fair to say that the majority of fandom was unimpressed. Three issues in, we were all thinking this is decent, entertaining stuff, but not really more than that. Then issue four comes out and three words on the cover change everything.
‘..on Infinite Earths’.
This, we are now told, is the direct sequel to the iconic Crisis. The other Crisis-this and Crisis-that books that sold millions were but detours along the way it seems. Everything we have seen so far now takes on a different light. Maybe there won’t be a return to the expected status quo after all this after all.

The best way to describe this book is the comic book equivalent of a summer popcorn action movie. Doesn’t lend itself to a whole lot of navel gazing analysis, but there are a lot of explosions, action and fisticuffs going on virtually the whole time. It certainly keeps your attention. Joshua Williamson has also cleverly threaded the ties to the previous Crisis books gradually and subtly, keeping things moving nicely while also promising big things to come down the road. I can’t lie, I’ve been enjoying it so far, though I’ve got the inescapable feeling that we’ve seen nothing yet.
Let’s see if I’m right.

It’s a miracle akin to the ring itself: 2011’s Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, has shot up to the top of Netflix’s Top 10 U.S. Movies list just two days after dropping on the streaming service. It’s at #3 as of this writing, with way more viewers likely to stream it over the weekend. While this may come as a surprise to those who first watched the film in theaters in 2011, interest in a Green Lantern movie has never been stronger.
Despite his much maligned debut on the big screen, Green Lantern remains one of the characters DC movie fans keep asking to see in the Dceu the most.
