DC character John Stewart in 'Green Lantern'; Aaron PierreDC/Peyton Fulford

Aaron Pierre (Rebel Ridge) has been tapped to star in Lanterns, HBO's high-profile series based on the Green Lantern DC comic. He is set to play John Stewart opposite Hal Jordan, a role Kyle Chandler has been in negotiations for and expected to close.

Pierre landed the John Stewart part after an extensive search. As Deadline reported two weeks ago, in the process' final stages, he had emerged as a frontrunner alongside Stephen James.

The series from Ozark's Chris Mundy, Watchmen's Damon Lindelof and comic book writer Tom King follows new recruit John Stewart (Pierre) and Lantern legend Jordan (Chandler), two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.

It is!

The right choice was made, though the other two guys who were in the running for the role would've been fine choices. I can't wait to see what he does in this role though

Yes 

[All Guns Blazing]

it's a good choice, looking forward to the show

Aaron has been daddy, glad everyone is just now realizing that. 

[Drowned8World]

damn he looks perfect for the part.

[Shinkirou]

He's perfect for the role. But he should've gone to Marvel instead. Gunn's DC is looking a mess

So three members of the JL team has been cast. Very exciting! Soon we'll have a full roster.
