Superman: Legacy Adds Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Casts Other DC Heroes

. Fillion previously played The Detachable Kid in Gunn’s 2021 film The Suicide Squad, which took place in the now-defunct DC Extended Universe. Interestingly, Fillion has also voiced the Hal Jordan incarnation of Green Lantern in a number of DC animated films.

Notably, while Superman: Legacy will be the first big-screen entry in the new DCU, the Man of Steel will not be the shared universe’s first hero. Rather, Legacy is expected to introduce Superman to a world where superheroes already exist. With the new casting information, we now know some of the other DC heroes the Big Blue Boy Scout will meet.

In the DC comics, the bullheaded Guy Gardner is a key member of the Green Lantern Corps. In fact, he was in the running to succeed Abin Sur after the dying Green Lantern crash-landed on Earth. However, since Hal Jordan was closer to the crash site, Abin Sur’s power ring chose him over Guy, who was then relegated to being Hal’s backup. John Stewart later stepped in as Hal’s backup after Guy was temporarily incapacitated.

Nevertheless, Guy would indeed serve as a Green Lantern, and is perhaps best known for his time with the Justice League International. Matthew Settle played the character in the late-1997 television film/unsuccessful pilot Justice League of America. Finn Wittrock was previously attached to play Guy Gardner in HBO Max’s Green Lantern series before the project was reworked.Meanwhile, Hawkgirl is a character who dates back to the Golden Age of comics and has a number of different incarnations.

Finally, Mister Terrific is a moniker belonging to two different DC heroes. The original Mister Terrific, Terry Sloane, was introduced in the 1940s, during the Golden Age. The second Mister Terrific, Michael Holt, came onto the scene in the late 1990s. In the comics. Michael Holt is a master martial artist, an Olympic-level athlete, and holds the distinction of being the third-smartest man in the DC Universe . Echo Kellum previously played Curtis Holt/Mister Terrific on Arrow.
