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.What We Know About LanternsA New Era for Green Lantern

Daredevil: Born Again brings Matt Murdock back into the fight with a gripping and emotionally charged start. The first two episodes set a darker, more grounded tone while incorporating a subtle MCU influence that works surprisingly well. Foggy’s tragic fate immediately raises the stakes, forcing Matt into a downward spiral, while Wilson Fisk shifts his power play from the streets to City Hall in a chillingly realistic move. Bullseye finally embraces his comic book identity, delivering one of the most intense fights in the series so far. The cinematography expands Daredevil’s world with wider, more dynamic shots that enhance his movement while keeping the action raw and relentless. At its core, the show understands Matt’s internal struggle, balancing justice and vengeance, faith and violence. Born Again isn’t just a revival—it’s a reckoning. 8 out of 10.

Kathleen Kennedy, who has led Lucasfilm for more than a decade, is expected to exit her role as president at the end of 2025, according to reports. The longtime industry executive, who helped guide the “Star Wars” franchise through a new era under Disney, plans to retire when her current contract expires. However, a source close to Kennedy has dismissed this as “pure speculation,” saying no official decision has been made.Kennedy took the helm of Lucasfilm in 2012, succeeding George Lucas after Disney acquired the company for $4 billion. Her tenure began with a surge of renewed interest in “Star Wars,” launching the sequel trilogy with 2015’s The Force Awakens. The film grossed over $2 billion worldwide and remains the highest-grossing domestic release of all time.She also oversaw the critically acclaimed Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) and spearheaded the franchise’s shift to streaming with hit Disney+ series such as The Mandalorian and Andor. However, not all of Kennedy’s projects found success. The sequel trilogy suffered diminishing returns, with The Rise of Skywalker (2019) bringing in roughly half of The Force Awakens’ earnings. Meanwhile, 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story became the first Star Wars film to lose money, casting doubts over the franchise’s theatrical viability.Beyond Star Wars, Kennedy also led the revival of Indiana Jones, culminating in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023). The film, meant to be Harrison Ford’s swan song as the character, struggled at the box office, losing an estimated $140 million.Since The Rise of Skywalker, Lucasfilm has struggled to bring Star Wars back to theaters. Multiple announced projects, including films from Patty Jenkins (Rogue Squadron), Kevin Feige, and Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, were shelved. The studio’s next confirmed theatrical release, The Mandalorian & Grogu, is set for 2026, with a new trilogy reportedly in early development.Kennedy’s potential departure marks a pivotal moment for Lucasfilm. Under her leadership, the studio expanded into new formats and reached new audiences, yet the franchise’s direction remains uncertain. If she does step down, Disney will face a critical decision: who will shape the future of Star Wars and Lucasfilm beyond 2025?A Decade of Lucasfilm Under KennedyThe Future of Lucasfilm
