:0:0

Summary

Warner Bros. considered Tom Cruise for Green Lantern's Hal Jordan role in 2017.
The new DCU Lanterns series offers a chance to finally cast Cruise as Hal Jordan.
Lanterns' older, veteran Hal Jordan remarkably aligns with Cruise's role in Top Gun: Maverick.

7 years ago, Warner Bros. was rumored to have an iconic actor in mind to play Hal Jordan's Green Lantern. However, this was back when the DCEU was still trying to get a movie off the ground. Now, it's not too late to cast that same perfect actor thanks to the DCU and its upcoming Lanterns series starring both Hal Jordan and John Stewart.
Having received a straight-to-series order from HBO, the DCU's upcoming Lanterns series will be coming from showrunner Chris Mundy with writers Damon Lindelof and Tom King. It's also been revealed that "Lantern legend Hal Jordan" will be joined by "new recruit John Stewart" as the pair of intergalactic peacekeeping officers investigate an Earth-based mystery. To that end, this new DCU show could be the perfect opportunity for Warner Bros. to finally cast Tom Cruise in the role of Hal Jordan.
