Every Green Lantern fan knows that the ring chooses its wielder, not the other way around. To become a Green Lantern and wield the ring, one must possess immense willpower and the ability to conquer great fear. In HBO's new adaptation "Lanterns," actors Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre embody these iconic characters, Hal Jordan and John Stewart, who have been around for over 50 years.
Chandler, 60 years old, is taking on his first superhero role, while Pierre is reprising his part after playing Kryptonian Dev-Em on Syfy's "Krypton." Both actors acknowledge the fear they felt at first but are committed to doing justice to the show's ground-based, emotional story. The series introduces these spacefaring lawmen to DC's universe in a Nebraska-set mystery with intergalactic consequences.
