Aaron Pierre and Stephan James Vie for Green Lantern Role in HBO's 'Lanterns'

The two actors are finalists to play John Stewart opposite Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan in the upcoming DC series.

Aaron Pierre, known for his role in Netflix's 'Rebel Ridge,' and Stephan James from 'The Piano Lesson' are the top contenders.
Pierre's recent rise in popularity is attributed to his performances in 'Rebel Ridge' and 'The Underground Railroad.'
James Gunn's 'Lanterns' series will feature a True Detective-like dynamic between seasoned hero Hal Jordan and newcomer John Stewart.
The series, written by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, will follow the Green Lanterns investigating a murder on Earth.
A decision on the casting is expected soon, with the series set to begin production early next year.
