To those asking what True Detective has to do with a Green Lantern show, we have an answer. The show centers on a rookie Lantern, John Stewart (Aaron Piere), and a veteran, Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), investigating a murder in the American heartland. If you think about it, rings are a flat circle, too.

Actor Nathan Fillion was a recent guest on The Jennifer Hudson show where he touched on his upcoming role in Superman and reflected on his many roles in the MCU.

When James Gunn, who co-heads DC Studios with Peter Safran, initially teased HBO's Lanterns, he mentioned "a few other Lanterns" will be "peppered in there" alongside Aaron Pierre as John Stewart and Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan.
