Superman Legacy Casts Nathan Fillion as a Green Lantern Alongside Hawkgirl and Mister Terrific​

By Kat Bailey | IGN
July 11, 2023

Nathan Fillion is joining James Gunn's Superman Legacy film as a Green Lantern, with Edi Gathegi and Isabela Merced also announced for the film's cast. They join David Corenswet, who will play the Man of Steel, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Vanity Fair was the first to report the story.

Fillion will play Guy Gardner, a "hulking mass of masculinity" who is also somehow likable despite being, well, obnoxious. Having played a similar role in Dr. Horrible, where he portrayed superhero Captain Hammer, Fillion seems like the perfect choice. The character is known for his red bowl haircut, which Vanity Fair confirms will be part of Fillion's look in the new movie.

I hate these links. I start reading the article and it scrolls back to the beginning every 5 or 10 seconds.
I assume this is an animated series?

It looks good but I am still in wait-and-see mode. Everything about it does feel like it is a good continuation of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. The series will be very good or even great if it can accomplish that.

I have watched all these characters mature in an animation format. I am eager to see how they transition to live action.

Just getting the opportunity of seeing the evolution of Anakin Skywalker's pupil into one of the most powerful Force users in George Lucas' universe amazes me. I fully expect Rosario Dawson alone to hit her role out of the park.

She was great in The Mandolorian.

No. Superman: Legacy will be a live action movie. Creature Commandos is an example of an animated series James Gunn has planned.

I posted an image of Fillion and Guy Gardner. It is a cartoon image of the character to show readers who Fillion will be playing. Fillion will be seen in 3D.

Not sure if you had an opportunity to see the character in the two animated series but Dawson meshes all of her mannerisms on screen to a T. Her makeup is obvious but she looks like she was BORN to play Tano.

I was asking because, as much as I like Nathan Fillion, I'm having trouble picturing him in costume.

One of Fillion's Mal outfits from Firefly sorta reminds me of Gardner's Green Lantern suit. I guess that is what I first think of when I picture him dressed as Gardner. That, and I can see how he can adopt Gardner's idiotic ruffian persona too.

I love the fact that we’re finally getting a live action Guy Gardner. I’m just not sure that Fillion is the best casting choice.

I'm not sure how I feel about a Green Lantern that is different than what I'm used and enjoyed from Jon Stewart

After all has Guy Gardner really been introduced to us like Stewart has been well introduced with Justice League and Unlimited toon series ?

Here are some of his appearances.

He was a great ‘jerk’ in the Giffen/Demmateis Justice League series as well.

Never understood why DC didn’t go with him as Green Lantern. While the DC universe was building, most of the kids who are now adults grew up on that justice league cartoon where Stewart WAS the Green Lantern. And then of course you have DC which started pre-World War II so not much diversity to begin with. Would have been a winning choice for many reasons.

@Stash .. thanks for sharing

I dunno how i overlooked, missed out or forgot Guy Gardner GL from the Justice League series,.. and I have the Justice League complete series sets.

Also I admit that I'm not familiar with the other notable Green Lantern Corp. members.

.. such as Jessica Cruz

They can easily go with ALL Earth designated Green Lanterns. There was a Green Lantern Corps live action movie planned before Warner Bros changed direction with the DCU (maybe still planned/not sure). I have no problems with introducing the Earth GLs in the order they were created in the comics, starting with Hal Jordan, the original Earth-One GL.

Justice League started in 2001 with John Stewart as GL. Green Lantern, with Ryan (look like Tarzan/act like Jane ) Reynolds, was in theaters before that decade ended. There is some ignoring going on if children and adults did not learn there were multiple Green Lanterns along the way. There have been some decent animated series and movies since Reynolds' movie explaining the Green Lantern Corps and its Earth members, including Jordan, Stewart, Gardner and Kyle Rayner. Heck. Green Lantern: Beware My Power came out just last year and prominently featured both Jordan and Stewart.

I would not prefer Warner Bros totally forget the source material it owns. There is a ton of great stuff to pull from, encompassing many characters.

Gardner appears in Green Lantern: The Animated Series. He had a mini-cameo in Young Justice also.

GUY GARDNER, DC’S MOST OBNOXIOUS GREEN LANTERN, EXPLAINED​

By Eric Diaz | Nerdist
July 13, 2023

When people think of DC Comics hero Green Lantern, they tend to think of one of two characters — Hal Jordan, or John Stewart. But there’s another Lantern from the planet Earth who debuted after Hal, who has his fair share of fans, and has since the mid-‘80s. We’re talking about Guy Gardner, the loud-mouthed insufferable braggart with a power ring. And now, Firefly and Castle actor Nathan Fillion will play Guy Gardner in Superman: Legacy, and even beyond, according to James Gunn. But who is Guy Gardner, and why do people even like this big jerk?

Why Deadpool 3 Is the Perfect Movie for Wolverine to Finally Don His Iconic Yellow Costume​

By Neel Singh | MovieWeb
July 13, 2023

Ryan Reynolds dropped a major bombshell on the comic book fan community in 2022 by casually announcing the return of Hugh Jackman in the role of Logan, aka Wolverine, in the upcoming Deadpool 3. After years of declaring he was done with the role, Jackman will be returning as everyone's favorite clawed mutant who was last seen in 2017's Logan.

Though recent set images give a tease of the film's plot, including a post-apocalyptic Fox X-Men Universe, complete with the old 20th Century Fox logo, not much is known yet regarding details of Wolverine's involvement in Deadpool's newest film. So fans have been left to daydream about what Wolverine's involvement in the film might mean for the character. One major demand from fans is that Jackman's Logan should finally don his iconic yellow and black costume from the comics. After nine appearances in the Fox-produced X-Men franchise starting in 2000 with X-Men and ending with 2017s Logan, it seems only right that the fan's long-standing hope to see Jackman don his comic-accurate suit finally be fulfilled.

Spoiler: How AHSOKA Got Her White LIGHTSABERS! The AMAZING Story (5 minute video)

Her show is a little over a month away. I ran across this video that explains why her dual lightsabers glow white. There are some things I disagree with and his video takes liberties with screenshots and clips from several series that do not match the storytelling. That said, the summary is done really well.

Yeah. Snyder has a ‘plan’. Just like he did for DC.

How’d that work out?

Maybe we should ask the people at Warner Bros?

How much control did Snyder have at Warner? Because his films prior to Warner were well received.

Ever hear of Sucker Punch?

As far as Warner Bros goes, he was given the keys to the castle for the DC films. They had hoped that he could do for them what Kevin Feige and Joss Whedon did for Disney/Marvel.
