Overview
- - A new teaser shared by James Gunn shows Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan forming a large green shield as red lasers strike from above, with a quick shot of Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart in action.
- - Gunn said a full trailer will follow this tease, marking the next step in HBO’s rollout for the DC series.
- - The footage answers criticism of the first trailer’s low-key approach by clearly featuring the construct-creating powers that define Green Lantern.
- - The show tracks Hal and rookie John across two periods, with 2016 scenes tied to an alien-linked case in a small Nebraska town and another thread set in 2026.
- - Lanterns is set for an August debut on HBO, with Chris Mundy as showrunner, a pilot co-written by Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, and early episodes directed by James Hawes.
