Patrick Schwarzenegger says he’s available to play Hal Jordan in the DCU.
With the first season of Gen V now out of the way, Patrick Schwarzenegger is keeping his schedule open for his next project. If that project just so happens to be the DC Universe’s new Green Lantern series, Schwarzenegger is all-in. Though he doesn’t keep track of comic book movie rumors, the actor said in one recent interview he’s available to play Hal Jordan should DC Studios executives want it to happen.
“I am not on those things, the theories and stuff. I am not caught up,” Schwarzenegger said in a new chat with CBR. “I’m available.”
Hal Jordan and John Stewart are said to be heading up Green Lanterns, which is set to debut on Max as part of the DCU’s Chapter One. No casting—outside of Nathan Fillion’s Superman: Legacy casting as Guy Gardner—has been revealed for the series, nor have any creatives been attached to the project.
What is on the DC Universe slate?
As Gunn and Safran revealed, the initial DC Studios slate for “Gods and Monsters” will include movies for Superman: Legacy, The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Swamp Thing, and The Authority. It will include the HBO Max television shows Waller, Booster Gold, Lanterns, Paradise Lost, and an animated Creature Commandos series.
“We’re honored to be the stewards of these DC characters we’ve loved since we were children,” Gunn and Safran said in a statement when their roles were first announced. “We look forward to collaborating with the most talented writers, directors, and actors in the world to create an integrated, multilayered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved. Our commitment to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the DC stable of characters is only equaled by our commitment to the wonder of human possibility these characters represent. We’re excited to invigorate the theatrical experience around the world as we tell some of the biggest, most beautiful, and grandest stories ever told.”
