The DC Universe expands in an ambitious direction with DC Lanterns (2026), a fan-made AI-powered trailer that offers a whole new perspective on the Green Lantern Corps. Featuring a stunning appearance by Ryan Reynolds returning as Hal Jordan, Mark Strong transforming into the villain Sinestro, and Oscar Isaac taking on the role of John Stewart, the trailer promises an epic and dramatic cosmic journey like never before.
The trailer opens with the sight of Earth threatened by an ancient cosmic force, forcing the Green Lanterns to join forces to protect the Blue Planet. The footage is filled with vibrant colors, space battles, and a dramatic soundtrack that evokes the perfect combination of Man of Steel and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Despite being a fan-created product, DC Lanterns (2026) quickly became an online hit, thanks in part to Ryan Reynolds’ surprising return to the DC universe, this time in a more serious and epic context than ever. This demonstrates the enormous potential of the Green Lantern brand if properly leveraged.
