Josh Brolin As Hal Jordan? DC Fans Divided on Potential Green Lantern Casting

As a seasoned gamer and lifelong comic book enthusiast, I must say I’m intrigued by the rumor that Josh Brolin might be joining James Gunn’s DC Universe as Hal Jordan. Having watched him bring Cable, Thanos, and even Jonah Hex to life, I can’t help but feel that he would do justice to the Green Lantern Corps’ most iconic member.


As a diehard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement! It seems that James Gunn’s DC Universe might be laying the groundwork for another cornerstone Green Lantern character – none other than Josh Brolin! According to recent reports, Brolin has been offered the role of Hal Jordan in the upcoming series “Lanterns.”

Although no formal announcements have been made, there’s been plenty of speculation among DC fans about the possibility of Brolin transitioning from wielding the Infinity Gauntlet to wearing a Green Lantern Ring instead.

Ryan Reynolds’ apparent response upon discovering that Josh Brolin would portray Hal Jordan in the upcoming Green Lantern: “Well, that’s a twist I didn’t see coming!”

Inspired

1. Casting Brolin as Hal Jordan is a brilliant decision. Aviators aren’t always young, reckless daredevils. He has the ability to convey both the menacing presence and hint of arrogance that this character demands. It’s crucial not to portray him in a comical manner like they did in their latest animated movies.

Other Options

I’m leaning more towards Glen Powell or Bradley Cooper for the role of Hal Jordan, while I favor John David Washington for John Stewart. James Gunn, DC, and Warner Bros. Pictures, please consider these choices.

I ‘d rather see Brolin continuing playing Thanos and Cable #LetCableJoinTheMCU

Future Founder?

I’m hoping, if Josh Brolin agrees to play the part, his Green Lantern character will be recognized as one of the original members of the Justice League, as that’s essentially who Hal Jordan represents.

Dig It

Lethal Weapon/True Detective inspired space cops.

I just need Brolin to say “I’m too old for this sh*t”

I dig it.

Wrong Role

If you want a 50s Hal Jordan, he’s RIGHT HERE

If you want Josh Brolin in the DCU, he’s RIGHT HERE

Bro better turn it down I’m so serious ?

Can’t See It

I have a strong fondness for Josh Brolin, and he truly shone as Thanos, but regrettably, I can’t envision him as Hal Jordan. Given his usual serious acting style, it seems a bit odd to cast him as the more light-hearted Hal Jordan. Even though an older Hal Jordan might work, the idea of a 56-year-old Hal in the DCU just doesn’t sit right with me. There are certainly other actors who would be better suited for the role of Hal Jordan. #Lanterns #HalJordan

Early Death?

In the upcoming series, they plan to portray Josh Brolin as Hal Jordan. They will develop his character using Parallax, but unfortunately, they intend to write him out of the storyline during the initial season.
