Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, and Ben Affleck have departed from their roles in the DC franchise, signaling a new era under James Gunn’s leadership. Gunn aims to revitalize DC with fresh talent, ushering in a wave of change. Amidst these transitions, Sterling K. Brown, renowned for his role in “American Fiction,” has expressed a keen interest in joining the DC universe.
Brown’s specific desire to portray John Stewart, also known as Green Lantern, reflects his personal connection to the character and the significance of representation. His enthusiasm is fueled not only by his own passion but also by the potential pride his children might feel in seeing him embody this role.
While fans eagerly await updates on “Superman: Legacy,” Gunn has announced that there are no plans for a 2024 trailer release. Despite this, he assures fans that the film’s anticipation and excitement will only grow as its production progresses. Additionally, the upcoming live-action TV series “Lanterns,” centered on the Green Lantern Corps, promises to captivate audiences with the collaborative adventures of Hal Jordan and John Stewart, the first African-American superhero in DC comics.
As the DC universe undergoes a transformation, Sterling K. Brown’s desire to join the franchise stands out amidst the departures of other prominent actors, signaling a potential return to the iconic world of superheroes, even under James Gunn’s leadership.
