With James Gunn’s Superman now enjoying in theaters, Nathan Fillion has formally made his debut as Man Gardner, however the actor is already set to return in a number of DCU initiatives, together with the upcoming Lanterns collection.
Whereas talking with Leisure Weekly, Fillion mentioned his look on the present, which has a decidedly totally different tone than Superman. He even teased that he dropped “extra F-bombs” throughout his Lanterns look than some other challenge he’s completed.
“Aaron [Pierre], he’s received a voice like butter. And he’s statuesque, like he’s carved out of marble,” Fillion stated. “He’s very, very particular about his character and what his character’s going via. His character’s clearly going via one thing. After which alongside comes this gregarious, smug son of a bitch in Man Gardner. And in that present…boy, Man Gardner. I’ve dropped extra F-bombs in that challenge than I’ve in, I believe, my complete profession put collectively.“
It appears that evidently Fillion shares most of his screentime with Aaron Pierre, who performs John Stewart, and he even teased that Man’s dialog with John doesn’t go how he’d hoped. “By the tip of it, you possibly can inform there’s a shift,” he stated. “Man Gardner is not snug. He’s not feeling smug. Then you possibly can see the place John’s energy actually lies. That could be a sturdy particular person. I don’t actually have any scenes immediately with Hal Jordan, however assembly Kyle, he’s all the pieces you’d hope he could be. Very enjoyable, very good man, very lighthearted, and enjoyable to be round.“
Lanterns follows Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Pierre), “two intergalactic cops drawn right into a darkish, earth-based thriller as they examine a homicide within the American heartland.” Along with Lanterns, Fillion will even seem as Man Gardner within the second season of Peacemaker, which can debut on HBO Max on August 21, 2025.
As I discussed above, Fillion presently stars alongside David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult in Superman.
