Earth's Green Lanterns are officially crossing paths on the big screen! While fans have already seen Nathan Fillion's abrasive Guy Gardner in action and watched Aaron Pierre suit up as John Stewart in HBO's Lanterns, their big heroic team-up remained under wraps. Here is what Fillion revealed about the Green Lantern duo and their future big-screen dynamic.
Nathan Fillion Reveals He Shares Scenes with Aaron Pierre in Man of Tomorrow
In a recent interview on Once We Were Poets episode 53, Alan Tudyk (who voiced Superman Robot #4 in 2025's Superman) asked Fillion what it was like working on the set of Lanterns.
As Fillion was recalling the experience, he casually mentioned how great it was to work alongside Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, later on adding that he had also worked with Pierre "later again in Man of Tomorrow," while also confirming that Tudyk's "Gary" will also reprise their role.
Fillion also noted that Guy Gardner's signature hairstyle gets an update after wearing his classic bowl-cut look in Superman and Lanterns.
With Guy Gardner already operating alongside Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi) and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), bringing John Stewart into the fold expands the superhero presence on Earth as bigger cosmic threats arrive.
What Fans Can Expect From Man of Tomorrow Sequel Despite DC Studios Shakeup
Despite James Gunn and Peter Safran being forced to step down from their DC Studios leadership roles after the Paramount Skydance merger, Man of Tomorrow finished its principal photography between April and August 2026.
Set two years after Superman, the sequel forces Clark Kent (David Corenswet) and an incarcerated Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), complete with his iconic green-and-purple Warsuit, to (reluctantly) form an alliance against the superintelligent alien android Brainiac (Lars Eidinger).
Alongside Superman, Lex Luthor, and the Green Lanterns, the sequel brings back together major DCU characters such as Milly Alcock's Supergirl, Xolo Maridueña's Blue Beetle, and Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr.
Directed and written by Gunn, the Superman sequel remains locked for its July 9, 2027 theatrical release. Stay tuned!
