DC Studios is one step closer to creating its Justice League, as actor Kyle Chandler is reportedly in talks to star in the upcoming Max Green Lantern show, Lanterns.

Details on the latest superhero casting news can be found here: Deadlinethat Chandler is currently in talks to potentially star in the series as Hal Jordan. Should he land the role, this would be just the latest addition to a strong cast that includes Lost and Watchmen creator Damon Lindelof, Ozark veteran Chris Mundy, and DC Comics legend Tom King, among others.

Chandler’s time as an actor dates back to the late ’80s. Since then, he has made a name for himself by appearing in projects such as Peter Jackson’s 2005 King Kong film, Argo, Game Night, The Wolf of Wall Street, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and most recently, Netflix’s Slumberland. Over the years, he has also done voice work for a number of animated series, including Family Guy, King of the Hill, and Robot Chicken. Should he land the role of DC’s newest Green Lantern, he will join the team alongside Nathan Fillion, who will appear as Guy Gardner in the next Superman film.
