The new DC Universe has hyped up the superhero fandom ever since its first slate was announced. As it has been announced that David Corenswet will be the new Clark Kent in the upcoming Superman: Legacy, more new cast members have been announced. Adding to the cast, James Gunn’s first movie in Chapter 1 of the DCU has ramped up its star-studded cast, with Nathan Fillion joining the project as Guy Gardner, aka Green Lantern. However, the netizens did not receive the announcement well enough as they demanded to call back Ryan Reynolds for the role.
Nathan Fillion worked with Gunn in his last MCU outing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, as he played a character named Karja, who was one of the many elite security guards called Orgosentries in the movie. Additionally, he also played T.D.K. in Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, which was a part of the scraped DCEU.
While in the past, the character of Green Lantern was played by none other than Ryan Reynolds, the netizens are not quite happy with the new casting. Along with Nathan Fillion, some of the actors announced are Isabela Merced, who will play Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi, who will play Mister Terrific. On Twitter, fans are split on Fillion’s Superman: Legacy casting as the DCU’s first iteration of Green Lantern. While some are asking to bring back Ryan Reynolds, others aren’t convinced that Fillion is the right fit.
