With James Gunn’s Superman inching ever closer to its theatrical premiere, we’re getting more tidbits on what we’ll see on the big screen. One of those tidbits is Nathan Fillion playing Green Lantern/Guy Gardner, who we saw in the trailer sports an… let’s say impressive hairdo.
As you can see in the image above, that hairstyle is a classic bowl cut, something that Fillion said he pushed for.
“There was talk about a different hairstyle, equally as goofy, but not a bowl cut,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I was Team Bowl Cut the whole time. We did a screen test earlier on with some other actors, and they gave me a test bowl cut wig, like a little mockup wig. I thought it was great. There’s just something about Guy Gardner where the bowl cut says it all for him. The question was, Will people buy the bowl cut? Will people believe it? I said, ‘They already do! It’s already established. It’s canon. I think if we don’t do the bowl cut, then you’re going to hear about it.’ But the argument here is that’s the character. If you want to know something about Guy Gardner, know this: He has a bowl cut and he’s into it. What does that tell you about this guy?”
The hair makes the man, I guess? The article also confirms that when we first meet Guy in Superman, he’s a member of the Justice Gang, a trio that also includes Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders (Isabela Merced) and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi). We’ll also see Fillion as Guy once again in season two of Peacemaker this fall.
Superman premieres in theaters on July 11, 2025.[end-mark]
