Actor Aaron Pierre is expected to appear in the next Superman movie, following his first role as a Green Lantern in the upcoming HBO Max series ‘Lanterns,’ set to premiere in August 2026. ‘Lanterns’ will show his character learning the ropes as a Green Lantern, with Kyle Chandler playing his mentor, Hal Jordan. When the Superman sequel arrives, Pierre’s character will likely be a more seasoned hero prepared to fight alongside Superman (according to The Hollywood Reporter).

It’s a bit of an irony that some of the harshest critics of Star Trek are its biggest fans. This tendency to find fault isn’t unique – you see it with franchises like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, too – but Star Trek fans have a particularly long history of it. In fact, when fans protested to get more episodes made, the network responded with a sequel… an animated series. While newer Star Trek shows continue this pattern, they often downplay the negativity that beloved series like The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager faced. The dislike for the character Wesley Crusher, for example, became a widespread joke online. But both the character and the actor who played him were unfairly targeted, and the reasons given by the haters don’t really stand up to close examination.

Just because older isekai shows haven’t all gotten worse with time doesn’t mean they’re always enjoyable to rewatch. Modern audiences now expect faster pacing, better character development, and more respectful treatment of characters. Often, the problem isn’t the original idea, but how it was carried out. Outdated writing styles and excessive fanservice can make previously loved series feel tedious or even unpleasant to watch today.
