Aaron Pierre's Green Lantern John Stewart Will Return in James Gunn's Man of Tomorrow

Aaron Pierre will portray John Stewart in HBO's Lanterns and the Man of Tomorrow film, linking DC's TV and film universe under James Gunn's direction.

  • Actor Aaron Pierre will portray John Stewart in Man of Tomorrow, which is slated for release on July 9, 2027.
  • Gunn and DC co-president Peter Safran are crafting an interconnected DC screen universe, with James Gunn writing and directing Man of Tomorrow to integrate TV and film characters.
  • The Hollywood Reporter and the InSneider Newsletter first reported that production is scheduled to begin in April in Atlanta and continue into the summer, with Pierre's role being substantial enough to require turning down other projects.
  • Adding John Stewart brings a Green Lantern into a spacefaring clash with Brainiac, fitting tonally because both Superman and Brainiac are space-faring characters, with Lars Eidinger playing Brainiac.
  • DC Studios did not respond to requests for comment, and there is no word yet on whether Nathan Fillion will reprise Guy Gardner despite expectations tied to Lanterns.
