DC retoma oficialmente la historia del origen de Green Lantern de John Stewart

by

The upcoming DC series, Lanterns, will present a fresh look at John Stewart’s beginnings, diverging from the story fans are familiar with. Interestingly, Nathan Fillion’s character, Guy Gardner, was established as the very first human to become a Green Lantern – and join the Green Lantern Corps – in the DC Universe’s initial reboot.

This character first appeared in the 2025 film Superman and is anticipated to be a significant part of the DC Universe for many years. They’re slated to return in the 2027 sequel, Man of Tomorrow, but will appear sooner in HBO’s Lanterns series this year. However, the stars of Lanterns are Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart.

The new Green Lantern series will follow two separate storylines. Veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan, played by 60-year-old actor Chandler, is a well-established hero. Meanwhile, John Stewart is just beginning his journey as a Green Lantern, learning the ropes of being one of DC’s intergalactic law enforcers who uses a powerful ring to create anything he imagines.

A new trailer for the Lanterns series is out now! It gives fans a much better look at the Green Lantern action, showing Hal Jordan using his powers in several scenes. The trailer also reveals a significant change to John Stewart’s origin story as it will be presented in the new DC Universe.

John Stewart Is Hal Jordan’s Direct Replacement In The DC Universe

The upcoming series strongly suggests Pierre’s John Stewart will become the new Green Lantern, taking over for Hal Jordan. The trailer shows Hal training John, and it appears John won’t receive his own power ring – instead, he’ll inherit Hal’s. We also get a glimpse of John’s background as a Marine. Ultimately, the show will explore John Stewart’s origins and establish his identity within the DC Universe.

The upcoming story will differ from the comics and previous versions in a significant way. While Guy Gardner is established as the character who would typically take over for Hal Jordan, John Stewart is now being positioned as Hal’s direct successor. This is a new development, as John hasn’t traditionally been trained by Hal to become the next Green Lantern in any of the comics, animated series, or other adaptations. Guy Gardner has always been the more logical choice for that role.

Hal Jordan had a very limited role in the DC Animated Universe. In the ‘Tomorrowverse,’ he was thought to be dead when John Stewart became a Green Lantern. Originally, in the comics, John was selected as a backup to Hal because Guy Gardner was hurt, but he didn’t receive training from Hal, nor did he have to prove himself worthy of the ring in the way the new HBO series portrays. The upcoming DC Universe is creating a stronger connection between Hal and John than ever before, offering a fresh take on John Stewart’s beginnings.

Why Changing John Stewart’s Origin Story In Lanterns To Connect To Hal Jordan Makes Sense

Connecting John Stewart and Hal Jordan feels like a smart decision for the DC Universe. They’re the two most well-known human Green Lanterns in the comics, and building a relationship between them will add emotional depth to that part of the DCU. Given their strong personalities, watching them initially disagree before eventually working together should be both engaging and satisfying for audiences.

Hal Jordan hasn’t been seen in live-action since the 2011 Green Lantern movie with Ryan Reynolds, where he was a hero still learning the ropes. It’s a clever twist to have him as a mentor figure in his upcoming return. This approach offers a fresh take on the character and a new side of Hal for audiences. While his story won’t follow the typical origin of John Stewart, the version in Lanterns promises to be just as thrilling.
