This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. HBO's Lanterns may have liked Josh Brolin for the role of Hal Jordan, but they will not be putting a ring on it. The No Country for Old Men star has passed on the offer for the lead role in the new DC Comics series. The Hollywood Reporter has the news that Brolin turned down the role last weekend.

The series will focus on the Green Lantern Corps, a spacefaring peacekeeping and law-enforcement organization whose members all wear cosmic-powered rings that can create energy constructs limited only by their wielders' imaginations. The series is set to be a two-hander, with two human Green Lanterns; the experienced Hal Jordan will reluctantly mentor newcomer John Stewart as they attempt to solve a cosmic mystery in the heart of America.
