Lanterns First Footage Finds Hal Jordan Teaching John Stewart How To Be A Green Lantern

HBO and HBO Max have released a trailer looking ahead to their 2026 offerings, and with that comes our first look at footage from DC Studios’ Lanterns.

There’s no costumed action, but we see Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) lecturing John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) about not being ready until the Green Lantern Corps ring says so. With that, he leaps out of the car, leaving John to plummet over a cliff. 

The Lanterns footage begins at the 1:35 mark and runs for about 11 seconds. There’s also an additional shot of John at 1:49. It doesn’t really tell us much about what to expect, but the mentor/mentee dynamic between these two should be a lot of fun.
