DC: Dream casting James Gunn and Peter Safran’s Justice League heroes
Jonathan Bailey as Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
In disrespectful fashion, we never got Green Lantern in the DCEU, but we’ll likely see the Lantern Corps in Gunn and Safran’s universe. However, an HBO Max series will give us what we want. Now, if you’re a fan of the Green Lantern comics, you’re probably familiar with the character Hal Jordan. And if you’re a fan of the Netflix hit Bridgerton, you’re definitely familiar with actor Jonathan Bailey. But have you ever considered that Bailey could be the perfect choice to play Hal Jordan in a Green Lantern movie?
As an actor, Bailey isn’t known outside of the Bridgerton circle, but he’s proven his range in his role as the calculating Anthony Bridgerton. Bailey has the talent to bring Hal Jordan’s character to life, capturing both his confident and charismatic personality, as well as his serious and heroic nature.
In terms of Hal Jordan’s appearance, Bailey also fits the bill. He’s got the rugged good looks reminiscent of the comic book character. And as Hal Jordan is known for his physique and athleticism as a test pilot, Bailey’s athletic build would make him a convincing choice for the role.
Fans of the Green Lantern comics expect Hal Jordan to be a hero who embodies willpower and determination, always fighting for what is right and never giving up. Bailey has already proven himself as a skilled actor who can bring depth and nuance to his characters, making him the perfect candidate to capture the essence of Hal Jordan. Jensen Ackles is ready for a hero role in the MCU or DCU, Hal Jordan would be dope if they wanted to go with a seasoned hero.
