Hes one of my favorite underrated actors. He always gives off this caring dad that has seen some stuff vibes that could match really well with what this show is going to do with the lanterns
I agree, i really liked him in Godzilla King of the Monsters. He is definitely that dad/older mentor figure that's chill but can be stern and I think he is a good fit as an older Hal. Very underrated actor.

The thing Chandler brings to the role that's different from the others is that he's much less gruff. Every other actor is known for playing intense, arrogant, or uber confident characters, and while Kyle Chandler does often play an authority figure, he's much more approachable. I could see him playing Hal Jordan as less hardened, more world weary
Kyle comes off as a natural leader, has an intensity thats... almost kind. Tough love type but big on love. He is really great actor. Love the casting.

As a teenager I did my homework to the TV show Early Edition, so I know Kyle primarily as a man who got the newspaper a day early and had to try and prevent disasters. He can do this. That show was everything 💚
I definitely feel like the DCU is doing with Green Lantern like what the MCU did with Ant-Man. Which is making the original characters (Hal Jordan & Hank Pym) pass the torch to their successors (John Stewart & Scott Lang).
I hated they made Hank and Janet old. They missed out on bringing so many great stories involving those characters to movies. Looks like DC is doing the same with Hal, and I don't like it.
@@demondsims5411 Really hope they don't just repurpose Hal's stories (and there are so many!) on to whatever Lantern is active at the time. Dammit, these characters are their own, not just a Lantern!
BLASPHEMY! (Watch 'Bloodline'. He plays a police chief in the Keys and I think becomes sheriff by the end. He's bargain barrel, though. Doesn't mean he can't pull off a new type of character for him, though.
Never heard of Kyle Chandler before. But found out he's both an Emmy award and SAG awards winner. So, he's a very talented actor. And that's who you want to play a Hal Jordan.
My thought as well! Maybe the first major villain for the DCU. Would be super cool! Kyle is great and as soon as I heard he was in talks, I raised an eyebrow. I mean that in a good way. Super intriguing and I think he’ll crush the role.
That was pretty much my guess when Brolin was given the offer. He's obviously a good actor, but I didn't see anything of Hal in him other than the fact that he'd played a cosmic supervillain before.
He looks like he’s gonna bring some kind of cosmic compassion. His face looks very kind so he’s not gonna be the hard edged how Jordan of the 50s and 60s of particularly when he was paired with green arrow and he was sort of a cop cosmic cop.
Kyle’s gonna absolutely slay this role (assuming it becomes official). Please watch FNL, Nando. 100% worth your time, even if you don’t care about football
I grew up watching Early Edition where his character is this Clark Kent-like Good Guy with very strong moral character and it’s a very corny show that doesn’t have a lot of moral complexity but he nails the job really well and I kind of like that for a Hal Jordan
You know what, I like it. I feel like if you take the wholesome authority of coach Taylor and inject a little Bruce Baxter (his character in Kong) cockiness and you have a pretty comic accurate Hal Jordan.
Chandler is really grounded. I like this. He was brilliant in Friday Night Lights & then in Bloodlines he plays a guy who seems as lovely and decent as his FNL character but has dark, dark skeletons.
Im 40 and i only know him from a series called Early Edition in which he was the lead and he gets tomorrows newspaper that its brought by a cat and he reads the news and tries to stop accidents / murders and other things from happening.
We Green Lantern fans really can't win . The only good Hal Jordan/Green Lantern adaptation we've had was in the Green Lantern animated series and in green lantern first flight. Since then he's gotten done dirt.
Early Edition? That's what I remember him from. The one where he got the newspaper a day ahead of time and had to try to stop anything bad from happening.
I am an australian and don't enjoy watching sports, however Friday Night Lights was an amazing show. Stoked to hear that Kyle Chandler will be Hal Jordan, seems like a perfect casting. He has appeared in a lot but rarely given a chance to shine like he did in FNL.
I loved Friday Night Lights and I was thinking of how to explain to you what makes it so good, and basically a lot of the reason it's so good is because of Kyle Chandler's character. He's a fresh take on a tough guy with a heart of gold. It's really hard to tell if he only loves football and ends up mentoring all of the players on the other parts of their lives in order to make them batter at football, or if he really loves football but also cannot, dispite how much he wants to, pass up opportunities to do something good. A lot of the credit likely should go to the writing, but Kyle Chandler plays it perfectly.
You NEED to watch more of Matthias Schoenaerts’ work. He’s AMAZING!!! Here’s some of his best work: • Bullhead (this is dark, just a head’s up) • Rust and Bone • Far From the Maddening Crowd • The Drop • The Mustang Great actor. If you want a less good movie where he’s not in it as much but he still shines, Red Sparrow also is a good example of his screen presence. He deserves a bigger DC role tbh. I wouldn’t have minded if he was the new Batman.
I like it. Green Lantern is very much a legacy character like the Flash (as opposed to guys like Superman, Batman, or Spider-Man) so it makes sense to have older lanterns around if John Stewart is the main one.
Spider-Man is a legacy mantle lmfao. I know you Peter fanboys don’t like it when Miles or Ben gets the spotlight but you can’t just lie AND there’s been other Batmen. Dick Grayson? Batman Beyond anyone? I get that other heroes have successors that are less temporary than the alternate Batmen but c’mon
Green lantern is NOT a legacy, its a title, a job even- legacy implies a passing of the torch, there is no passing of anything, its like getting a new coworker
i really wanted Olyphant, he’s just the shit. but there are other roles he can be, Human Target, Jim Gordon, etc. i’m cool with Kyle Chandler, and he looks like Hal Jordan too, which is a nice bonus
They’re casting him old because they’re doing Parallax, and to use as an excuse to do movies in the past to explain more Lanterns lore so both Hal and Jon’s story can be told concurrently. Parallax made him age fast. Don’t be surprised if he’s around 40 but appears 60 cause of it
Nathan Fillion could have been Hal because he's younger than most of the candidates for the role. If Gunn wasn't so focused on trolling his friend, we could have gotten a fan casting on par with Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier.
I feel like his role in wolf of Wall Street speaks to how he could play Hal. Someone who’s extremely charismatic and experienced who can be very serious once he’s gotten someone to lower their guard
He seems like the perfect choice, of the bunch that have been in the running, to play a still charming, but seasoned, mentorish, Hal Jordan. I could see his role being similar to that of Hal Jordan from the Green Lantern animated series. I’m excited to see who they cast as John.
He’s got an Alex Ross old school quality to him, like an American hero archetype of another age (like fighter pilots which haven’t been relevant since the 90s) and yet his age and serious qualities (and dramatic chops) balance that out. I think it’s kinda perfect If the GL franchise takes off they could always eventually First Class it with some 30 year old, way down the line
If you watch him as the fbi agent from wolf on wall street he kinda can sell that quirky snarky Hal Jordan maybe the role can give him that shot of showing more dimensions on his acting
Friday Night Lights is definitely worth a watch. I never would have expected to enjoy a show about high school football, but it's charming as hell. Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton and their chemistry is a big reason why. Plus early greatness from Jessie Plemons. And honestly, I don't think Chandler has had a role worth his talent since then. He's not really who I would have expected for Hal Jordan, but he would be great in the part.
The moment I saw in the thumbnail that it's Kyle Chandler from the show Early Edition(that's where I know him, but I didn't really watched the show) I immediately pictured him just like Hal Jordan with a sinister grin wearing a lot of green lantern rings on Emerald Twilight comic book cover.
I remember Kyle Chandler most from a show that pre-dates even Friday Night Lights. There was a show called Early Edition where the lead played by Chandler got the newspaper from (I believe) the next day every morning and he tried to prevent the tragic headlines from coming to pass. He was solid in that and he was able to carry the show as the lead for several seasons if I'm remembering correctly.
He’s a wonderful actor, not massively exciting but he’s never really been given this kind of opportunity. He seems like the kind of guy that’s a dream to work with. Others would have been exciting but Chandler could be great given the right script and direction which is exciting in a different way.
I haven't been keeping up with the set photos for the Superman movie, so I was surprised to see Mr. Terrific in that one shot. The grey T on his face looks way better in live action than I thought it would. What a great surprise coming off my Justice League Unlimited binge.
No mention of Early Edition where he played a man who received a supernatural gift and used it to do good? Also the magic paper is brought to him by a magic cat.
Honestly, it’s just more evidence to the “he’s a cop, he’s usually in charge” claim; but please watch Chandler’s stint in Grey’s Anatomy Season 2, Ep 16 & 17. That character called Dylan Young is essentially a human cop version of Hal Jordan. Even if you don’t care about Grey’s Anatomy, his acting is so solid and believable.
It's so interesting seeing Kyle Chandler taking on such an iconic role considering where he started for me. There was a show called 'Early Edition' that started in 1996 and ran for 4 seasons about a guy (Kyle Chandler) who received the paper every morning only it was actually the paper for the next day and he would use it to try and help anyone who the paper said was in trouble. Then over the course of the series he'd investigate how the paper came to him and who created it. High concept, pretty fun sometimes. Only I remember when it first started the reviews were not kind to Kyle. They thought he was pretty dull and lifeless as the star of the show. In a way I think it's similar to Keanu Reeves. He used to cop crap about his acting too and now he's arguably one of the biggest stars around. Also one of the nicest. That all said, I hope he gets it and is awesome.
Honestly, Chandler is probably my favorite of the choices for Hal Jordan. I think he can bring a lot of solid cocky, older Hal Jordan energy without being super gruff and hardened like Brolin or McConaughey. My only gripe with Timothy Olyphant playing Hal is that I think he’d be much better as Human Target who last I heard was rumored to be getting a Max show.
I love Kyle Chandler! One thing he is the main actor in that you didn't mention is an old show called Early Edition. if you can find anywhere to watch it I cant recommend it enough.
He's an acceptable if relatively obvious choice for the character, especially at that age. I'm not as intrigued or excited as I'd be if Brolin had said yes, but I like Kyle Chandler enough, especially if he brings some of that Game Night energy.
I like Kyle Chandler for an older Hal Jordan, much better than Josh Brolin. I think he can bring an affable charm, that I feel Hal Jordan has in a lot of comics.
Hm. Idk. I do like the idea of Gunn casting people who the majority of people haven't known of... But he also casts the exact same people over and over
I'm not overly familiar with him, but man, he just looks like Hal. If others are backing him this hard, I'll keep an open mind, because damn he looks like Hal.
Kyle Chandler's best work was starring in the TV show "Early Edition" for 4 seasons. If you want to watch something with him in it, watch the first 2 episodes of that show.
Not a bad choice… I think of Hal as more of a daredevil and cocky, and Kyle Chandler has always seen the more down to earth levelheaded type. But he’s a really good actor, so I think he could pull it off… but we’ll wait and see
Is this series going to be canon to the DCU? Because if they're going for a grizzled, middle-aged Hal Jordan, I'm disappointed it's not Nathan Fillion. Hearing him in the voice role worked really well.
This is the most Boomer I've ever felt cuz I grew up on Early Edition with Kyle Chandler, so to her someone say they weren't that interested in checking out a 20 year old tv show Friday Night Lights (masterpiece energy) wow do I feel old 😂
While I think Chris Pine would be my ideal Hal Jordan, I can understand this casting. Chandler's a very good authority figure, but I'm curious if he (or the writers) can fully embody Jordan's cavalier attitude: Hal Jordan is very much a character that will jump off a cliff and figure out how to survive on the way down, and I haven't really seen Chandler play that role yet. I'm not saying he can't: I just want to see that he can. Cautiously optimistic because, honestly, the Lanterns show is the only project in this new DCU that I have any interest in so I'd hate for it to disappoint me.
I honestly really like this casting choice! Chandler will be a great fit for a potentially less hardened Guy Gardner, yet still respectable and authoritative. He needs to feel warm, especially considering the tone James Gunn tends to favour in his movies. All in all, excited to see which direction the Lanterns show takes!
Hes one of my favorite underrated actors. He always gives off this caring dad that has seen some stuff vibes that could match really well with what this show is going to do with the lanterns
He'd be a great Hal Jordan
I agree, i really liked him in Godzilla King of the Monsters. He is definitely that dad/older mentor figure that's chill but can be stern and I think he is a good fit as an older Hal. Very underrated actor.
He would have been GREAT as Pa Kent along with Connie Britton lol
@@marcuscisneros8528for some reason, I'm imagining Batman seeing Hal Jordan as a dad and laughing.
Looking at his resume he's perfectly rated. He may not star in everything, but his actual acting is rated very well

Yeah, I assume John Stewart is their main Lantern of choice, and Hal/Guy will just be there as older tutors.
True but we'll probably see way more of Hal down the line, if they ever do Sinestro Corp War and Blackest Night.

I'm not overly familiar with him, but man, he just looks like Hal. If others are backing him this hard, I'll keep an open mind, because damn he looks like Hal.
his face looks like a budget Tom Cruise, which i like, because if there's anyone the writers should emulate to get a perfect Hal Jordan is Tom Cruise.
Love these little updates! Thanks nando

Not a bad choice… I think of Hal as more of a daredevil and cocky, and Kyle Chandler has always seen the more down to earth levelheaded type. But he’s a really good actor, so I think he could pull it off… but we’ll wait and see
chandler is great in super 8, king kong and in wolf of wallstreet!
A Hal Jordan has He!
I literally get so hyped when I see this guy
OFFICE SPACE!!!! 😅 that movie is a beloved cult classic and you mentioned every movie but that movie!
I think you're thinking of Ron Livingston.
@@thetrinYup! Entirely different person. 😅
Timothy Olyphant! Oh that would have been a delight.
Super 8 slaps.
Enjoyed him in the tv show Early Edition, could see that character basically continuing down the road he’s on and basically being a Hal Jordan type
Is this series going to be canon to the DCU? Because if they're going for a grizzled, middle-aged Hal Jordan, I'm disappointed it's not Nathan Fillion. Hearing him in the voice role worked really well.
as a Friday night lights fan.... this casting is phenomenal!
This is the most Boomer I've ever felt cuz I grew up on Early Edition with Kyle Chandler, so to her someone say they weren't that interested in checking out a 20 year old tv show Friday Night Lights (masterpiece energy) wow do I feel old 😂
He’s perfect for Hal Jordan. He can inspire and motivate, I’d follow that man into battle.
I absolutely love this casting, if you haven’t watched Friday Night Lights you should it is a great show and Kyle Chandler is great in it.
While I think Chris Pine would be my ideal Hal Jordan, I can understand this casting. Chandler's a very good authority figure, but I'm curious if he (or the writers) can fully embody Jordan's cavalier attitude: Hal Jordan is very much a character that will jump off a cliff and figure out how to survive on the way down, and I haven't really seen Chandler play that role yet.
I'm not saying he can't: I just want to see that he can. Cautiously optimistic because, honestly, the Lanterns show is the only project in this new DCU that I have any interest in so I'd hate for it to disappoint me.
I honestly really like this casting choice! Chandler will be a great fit for a potentially less hardened Guy Gardner, yet still respectable and authoritative. He needs to feel warm, especially considering the tone James Gunn tends to favour in his movies. All in all, excited to see which direction the Lanterns show takes!
