The DCU show Lanterns has yet to premiere, but we’ve got news that we’ll be seeing more of Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart beyond the series.
Today, The Hollywood Reporter shared that Pierre will also be in the Superman sequel film, Man of Tomorrow. He’ll undoubtedly be playing John Stewart once again, who will also likely be a more seasoned Lantern after the events of the television show.
The news confirms James Gunn’s desire to have the DC Universe be a cohesive whole that encompasses both film and television (with a special carve out for Matt Reeves’ Batman films). Having Pierre in Man of Tomorrow also fits in well with that movie’s plot, which centers around Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) and Superman (David Corenswet) having to begrudgingly work together to defeat Brainiac (Lars Eidinger), a villain who, like the Lanterns, likes to hang out in outer space.
Man of Tomorrow will also see the return of many characters we saw in Superman, including Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) and Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo). It’s not clear if that other Lantern, the bowl-cut-coiffed Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) will be returning as well, though we will see him in the upcoming Lanterns series, which is set to premiere on HBO sometime this August.
We’ll have to wait longer to see Man of Tomorrow, which is currently slated to come out in theaters on July 9, 2027. [end-mark]
