Superman<\/em><\/a> is coming to theaters in July 2025, and comic book fans were dying to get a glimpse of it. Luckily, they did once the trailer<\/a> dropped in December 2024. By the looks of it, James Gunn<\/strong>\u2018s rendition of the beloved superhero is an action-packed ride. Now that we saw Guy Gardner, a.k.a Green Lantern<\/a>, we know he\u2019s being played by actor Nathan Fillion<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

During an April 2024 interview with Collider<\/a>, Nathan recalled James offering him the role of Green Lantern while at a premiere party for their film The Suicide Squad<\/em>. After seeing each other in a large crowd, Nathan congratulated the screenwriter and filmmaker, who asked the actor, \u201c\u2018Hey, did Peter [Safran] tell you what we\u2019ve got for you next?\u2019 I said, \u2018No, he hasn\u2019t said.\u2019 He looked around like someone was gonna be listening. We were in a throng of people, but he leaned over and said, \u2018You\u2019re gonna be Guy Gardner.’\u201d<\/p>\n

While describing Green Lantern, Nathan pointed to his \u201cflaws,\u201d which the actor said he \u201clove[s] to lean into\u201d when embracing new characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuy Gardner is 90 percent flawed and doesn\u2019t care. That\u2019s one of his flaws,\u201d Nathan pointed out. \u201cI think there\u2019s a real freedom in playing that. So, for a guy who likes to play flaws and flawed people, Guy Gardner is a gold mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to The Suicide Squad<\/em>, we\u2019ve seen Nathan in many other projects! Hollywood Life<\/strong> rounded up a few facts about the Canadian-American actor, below.<\/p>\n
