演员Nathan Fillion在HBO Max新剧《Lanterns》中饰演绿灯侠Guy Gardner，这是他在长期担任《The Rookie》主演后的新突破[1]。该剧共8集，于8月17日在HBO Max播出，另有Kyle Chandler饰演Hal Jordan和Aaron Pierre饰演John Stewart[1]。
Fillion对这一角色的塑造带来了独特视角。他将Guy Gardner描述为"本质上不讨人喜欢，只是脾气坏且难相处"的人物[1]，通过自然魅力来诠释这个有复杂性的角色。这一角色选择标志着Fillion职业生涯的新方向——他此前因出演《Castle》173集（2009-2016年）和《The Rookie》144集（2018年至今）而以温和形象著称[1]。此前Fillion曾在6部动画电影中为绿灯侠Hal Jordan配音，此次真人出演绿灯侠角色属首次[1]。
Nathan Fillion is stepping into a starkly different character type with his role as Green Lantern Guy Gardner in HBO Max's new series Lanterns, which premiered on August 17 with eight episodes [1]. The actor, best known for his extended runs on television's good-guy roles—including 144 episodes of The Rookie since 2018 and 173 episodes of Castle from 2009 to 2016—is tackling a hero characterized by his rough edges and difficult temperament [1].
Fillion described the character as "essentially unlikeable, just irritable and hard to get along with," marking a departure from his typical on-screen persona [1]. The series features Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart alongside Fillion's portrayal [1]. Notably, Fillion brings previous experience with the Green Lantern universe, having provided voice acting for Hal Jordan in six animated films [1]. The actor's childhood connection to comic books runs deep—he collected secondhand comics purchased from Wee Book Inn in Edmonton [1].
