Guy Gardner makes a cameo in new Lanterns teaser

盖·加德纳在《绿灯侠》新预告片中客串亮相

Lanterns, the new DC Universe series coming to HBO Max, dropped a surprising teaser in March that swapped the usual superhero hijinks for gritty realism more in the vein of True Detective and Slow Horses. Personally, I liked the change; it pushed a series that was barely on my radar to my 2026 list of ones to watch. I guess HBO was concerned people would miss the superhero vibes, though, because the latest teaser trailer interweaves the grittier aspects with a lot more superpowers and intergalactic elements. And you know what? I’m still here for it.

即将登陆 HBO Max 的 DC 宇宙新剧《绿灯侠》（Lanterns）在三月发布了一支令人惊喜的预告片，它摒弃了常见的超级英雄闹剧，转而采用更接近《真探》和《流人》风格的硬核写实路线。个人而言，我很喜欢这种转变；它让这部原本并未引起我注意的剧集，成功进入了我 2026 年的必看清单。不过，我猜 HBO 可能担心观众会怀念超级英雄的氛围，因为最新的预告片在硬核基调中融入了更多超能力和星际元素。而且你知道吗？我依然很期待。

Per the official logline, “The series follows new recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and Lantern legend Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.” There will be two storylines: one set in 2016 about a murder in Nebraska, and the second set in 2026. Chandler’s Hal Jordan is a former test pilot nearing retirement from the Green Lantern Corps. He’s training Pierre’s John Stewart Jr., a new recruit, to replace him.

根据官方剧情简介：“该剧讲述了新兵约翰·斯图尔特（亚伦·皮埃尔饰）和绿灯侠传奇哈尔·乔丹（凯尔·钱德勒饰）的故事，这两位星际警察在美国腹地调查一起谋杀案时，被卷入了一场黑暗的地球谜团。” 剧集将包含两条时间线：一条设定在 2016 年，讲述内布拉斯加州的一起谋杀案；另一条则设定在 2026 年。钱德勒饰演的哈尔·乔丹是一位即将从绿灯军团退役的前试飞员，他正在训练皮埃尔饰演的新兵约翰·斯图尔特二世，准备让他接替自己的位置。

Nathan Fillion reprises his Superman role as the obnoxious Guy Gardner; we get a brief glimpse of him in the new teaser. The cast also includes Kelly MacDonald as Kerry, a small-town family-oriented sheriff; Jason Ritter as Billy Macon, Kerry’s husband; Garret Dillahunt as William Macon, Kerry’s cowboy father-in-law; Poorna Jagannathan as a woman named Zoe; Ulrich Thomsen as Sinestro, a former Corps member who’s gone rogue; and Paul Ben-Victor as an extraterrestrial called Antaan.

内森·菲利安再次出演他在《超人》中的角色——令人讨厌的盖·加德纳；我们在新预告片中短暂地看到了他的身影。演员阵容还包括：凯莉·麦克唐纳饰演以家庭为重的小镇警长克里；杰森·雷特饰演克里的丈夫比利·梅肯；加瑞特·迪拉胡特饰演克里的牛仔公公威廉·梅肯；普娜·贾甘纳坦饰演名为佐伊的女性；乌尔里希·汤姆森饰演已叛变的绿灯军团前成员塞尼斯托；以及保罗·本-维克托饰演的外星人安坦。

Sherman Augustus plays John Stewart Sr., with J. Alphonse Nicholson playing the younger version; Nicole Ari Parker plays Bernadette Stewart (mother to John Jr.), with Jasmine Cephas Jones playing the young version of the character. In addition, Chris Coy plays a suspiciously nervous truck driver, Waylon Sanders; Cary Christopher plays a gifted child named Noah; and Laura Linney and Paula Patton will appear in as-yet-undisclosed guest roles.

谢尔曼·奥古斯塔斯饰演约翰·斯图尔特一世，J·阿方斯·尼科尔森饰演其年轻版本；妮可·阿里·帕克饰演伯纳黛特·斯图尔特（约翰二世的母亲），贾斯敏·塞法斯·琼斯饰演该角色的年轻版本。此外，克里斯·科伊饰演一名神情可疑、紧张不安的卡车司机韦伦·桑德斯；卡里·克里斯托弗饰演一名叫诺亚的天才儿童；劳拉·琳妮和宝拉·巴顿将以尚未公开的客串角色身份出演。

We also know that the show will feature the inter-dimensional prison and the Checkmate organization introduced in Peacemaker’s S2 finale. DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has said that the events will set up other things within the DCU as a whole. So, is it a gritty buddy-cop series or a superhero series? Showrunner Chris Mundy recently told Men’s Health that it’s very much both.

我们还了解到，该剧将出现《和平使者》第二季大结局中引入的跨维度监狱和“将死”（Checkmate）组织。DC 影业联合首席执行官詹姆斯·古恩表示，这些事件将为整个 DC 宇宙的其他内容做铺垫。那么，这究竟是一部硬核的搭档警匪剧，还是超级英雄剧？剧集运作人克里斯·蒙迪最近告诉《男士健康》杂志，它两者兼具。

“Our show is in a lot of ways about replacement—when should someone step aside and when is it time for the next person to take the reins?” Mundy said. “That push and pull between those two characters is really important. So much of the power that John has is by not taking the bait, understanding that you lose your power if you’re yelling and screaming. That’s what we’re trying to convey: He knows he belongs, so he doesn’t have to overcompensate. There’s a real balance there that’s just innately inside of Aaron. He’s big. He’s an intimidating presence just physically. But there’s a softness to him, too. There’s a thoughtfulness. You can’t teach that.”

“我们的剧在很多方面都是关于‘更替’的——一个人何时应该退位，何时又是下一个人接手的时候？”蒙迪说道。“这两个角色之间的拉扯非常重要。约翰拥有的力量很大程度上源于他不轻易上钩，他明白如果你只会大喊大叫，就会失去力量。这就是我们试图传达的：他知道自己属于这里，所以不需要过度补偿。亚伦身上有一种天生的平衡感。他身材高大，光是外形就很有压迫感。但他也有温柔的一面，有深思熟虑的一面。这些是教不出来的。”

Lanterns premieres on August 16, 2026, on HBO Max.

《绿灯侠》将于 2026 年 8 月 16 日在 HBO Max 首播。
