Nathan Fillion discusses his Green Lantern role in the DC Universe
Nathan Fillion spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about portraying Guy Gardner in the series Lanterns and how the show fits within the broader DC Universe.
Filling a tonal gap
Fans initially questioned whether Fillion's character would match the gritty tone of early episodes. The actor noted that Guy Gardner differs significantly from other Green Lanterns like Hal Jordan and John Stewart. He compared this variety to spending different weekends in Metropolis and Gotham while remaining the same person.
Director James Gunn's approach
James Gunn stated that the DC Universe will not enforce a single house style for all stories. Each character is allowed to reflect the distinct tone of their specific tale while adapting to the wider universe. This method allows different characters to exist without a uniform look and feel across every project.
Actor confidence in the cast
Fillion expressed no concerns about his character being out of place within the larger narrative. He trusted that showrunner Chris Mundy and co-creators Damon Lindelof and Tom King would handle the tonal balance correctly. The production team successfully fleshed out the concept to satisfy both fans and creators.
