Nicole Ari Parker Joins HBO’s “Lanterns” as John Stewart’s Mother

Nicole Ari Parker is stepping into the DC Universe. The actress, best known for her role in HBO’s And Just Like That, has been cast in a recurring role in Lanterns, the upcoming HBO drama centered on the Green Lantern Corps. Parker will portray Bernadette, the mother of John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), one of the two central Green Lanterns in the series.

HBO describes Bernadette as “formidable and tenacious,” a woman who has spent her life ensuring her family is not left behind. She is fiercely protective of her son, a trait that will likely shape John Stewart’s journey in the show.

The series follows John Stewart and Hal Jordan (played by Kyle Chandler), two members of the Green Lantern Corps, an elite intergalactic force tasked with maintaining order across the cosmos. Their power stems from special rings that grant superhuman abilities, making them one of the most formidable forces in the DC Universe.

Lanterns is significant for DC Studios as it marks the first live-action series developed under the leadership of co-chairmen and co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran. The show received a straight-to-series order in June, securing an eight-episode season with True Detective: Night Country and Ozark showrunner Chris Mundy at the helm.

In addition to Parker and the lead duo, the cast includes Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, and Ulrich Thomsen, who will portray the iconic Green Lantern antagonist Sinestro.

This isn’t the first time Green Lanterns have appeared in live-action. Hal Jordan was famously played by Ryan Reynolds in the 2011 Green Lantern film, though that adaptation was widely criticized. Meanwhile, John Stewart has long been a fan-favorite in the comics and animated series but has yet to receive a proper live-action portrayal. His inclusion in Lanterns marks a significant moment, as Stewart was one of DC’s first Black superheroes and a key figure in Green Lantern lore.

DC’s live-action universe is undergoing a major transition. Nathan Fillion has been cast as another Green Lantern, Guy Gardner, in Gunn’s upcoming Superman film, slated for a July release. With Lanterns, HBO is set to bring a detective-style drama to the Green Lantern mythos, a tone Gunn previously described as inspired by True Detective.

As of now, HBO has not announced an official release date for Lanterns. Meanwhile, Nicole Ari Parker will also return for Season 3 of And Just Like That, set to premiere later this year.

DnD Series

DnD Series

Paramount Plus and Hasbro studio eOne will collaborate on adapting Dungeons & Dragons for television. The show is in early development and led by Red Notice director Rawson Marshall Thurber. eOne shopped the show around in November, and received interest from multiple buyers, but landed on Paramount Plus after a competitive situation. The two companies will partner to create the show, with Thurber writing the pilot and directing the first episode. The partnership makes sense as eOne and Paramount Pictures co-produced Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. The live-action D&D show for Paramount Plus could be eOne’s largest-scope TV project ever with the potential to kick off a D&D universe with scripted and unscripted shows.

Superman in Congress

Superman in Congress

Representative-elect for California’s 43rd congressional district, Robert Garcia, plans to use a 1939 vintage Superman comic book as the text for his oath of office. The other two items he will use are a photo of his parents, who he said were lost to COVID-19, and his citizenship certificate. The use of the comic book is not illegal, according to Article IV of the US Constitution, which states that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States”. Throughout history, newly elected members of Congress have used different texts, including Hebrew scripture, the Quran, and the Bhagavad Gita. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks

New Bond?

New Bond?

Speculations about the next James Bond are rife, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lucien Laviscount among the favorites for the role. Taylor-Johnson reportedly met with producer Barbara Broccoli and impressed her in a “secret audition” for the role, although he may become “too famous” due to his upcoming roles in the Marvel and Fall Guy films. Meanwhile, Laviscount has caught Broccoli’s eye due to his talent, good looks, and recent popularity from his role in Emily in Paris. However, Laviscount’s past appearance on Big Brother in 2011 may work against him. Broccoli has described the next James Bond as a “reinvention,” and the requirements for the role include being British, male, and in the 30s.
