This DC superhero is confirmed to appear in 3 upcoming shows and movies — including 'Superman' and 'Peacemaker'
With the reveal of the "Peacemaker" season 2 trailer, we got more than just a release date for the Max superhero show — we got a third confirmed casting of Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner.
Yes, you're reading that right. It's not the Man of Steel that's seemingly on every DC show or movie call sheet. Heck, he's not even the best Green Lantern (that would be John Stewart).
No, it's Guy Gardner and his absurd bowl cut.
For what it's worth, I am fine with this. I love Nathan Fillion as an actor, so I'm not complaining about getting more of him in the upcoming DC slate. Also, as much as I don't love Guy Gardner, he'll certainly be useful for tonally changing any scene that gets too serious.
So, without further ado, here are the three upcoming DC shows and movies where you'll be able to see Nathan Fillion donning his Green Lantern ring as Guy Gardner, in order of release date.
We don't get much of Fillion's Guy Gardner in the first "Superman" trailer. At the 1:43 mark, we get a shot of his blonde bowl cut and him blasting his Green Lantern ring, and that's it.
But Fillion himself has shed a bit more light on Gardner's role in the upcoming Man of Steel movie. "He's a jerk!" Fillion told TV Guide back in March. "I think if he has a superpower, it might be his overconfidence, in that he thinks he could take on Superman. He can't!"

That wasn't all he had to say about Gardner, either. "What's important to know is, you don't have to be good to be a Green Lantern; you just have to be fearless." Fillion explained. "So Guy Gardner is fearless, and he is not very good. He's not nice, which is very freeing as an actor because you just think to yourself, what is the most selfish, self-serving thing I can do in this moment? And that's the answer."
We get a look at Fillion as Gardner almost immediately in the "Peacemaker" season 2 trailer.
The trailer kicks off with Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker (John Cena), interviewing for the Justice Gang. In the room interviewing him are Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn), Kendra Saunders, aka Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) and Gardner.
The interview doesn't go well, with Peacemaker not getting the gig. But we do get of Gardner being a jerk, and we'll get to see more when the season 2 premiere arrives on Max on August 21 at 9 p.m. ET.
"Lanterns" is an upcoming HBO show centered around two Green Lanterns: Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre).
In this show, Stewart is a new recruit to the Lantern Corps, who is partnered up with Jordan to investigate a murder in the American heartland. It's being billed as a dark, Earth-based mystery show with consequences for the greater DC universe.
While we don't know exactly what role Fillion's Gardner will play in "Lanterns," he confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that he'll be in the upcoming HBO show.
Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made.

'You Wussed Out': David Mamet Reveals Trump's 20-Minute Call After He Committed A MAGA Sin
Pulitzer Prize-winning screenwriter David Mamet has recalled once receiving a lengthy phone call from Donald Trump after he dared not to go all in on the then-former president's 2020 election conspiracy theories. Trump loyalist Mamet, appearing on Bill Maher's 'Club Random Podcast' this week, remembered being 'kind of iffy' about whether the election had been stolen from Trump during an appearance on Maher's HBO show, 'Real Time.' At 8 a.m. the following day, the Hollywood veteran said he received a call from Trump who told him: 'I saw you on Bill Maher yesterday, you were great. But you wussed out on the question of the stolen election.' Trump then 'talked to me for like 20 minutes about how the election was stolen,' Mamet told Maher. 'But it wasn't,' Maher reminded him. Mamet, a yearslong vocal critic of progressive causes who has called former President Barack Obama a 'tyrant' and described diversity, equity and inclusion efforts as 'garbage,' responded: 'Well, I think it was.' Maher noted how the claim that the election was rigged for now-former President Joe Biden has fallen flat in dozens of court cases, been dismissed by Trump's own commissioners and analysts have described the 2020 vote as 'the most fair, honest election we've ever had.' Mamet argued Trump would have won by a majority had various issues not been suppressed. 'Oh, please. That's so ridiculous,' said Maher, who doubted they would have swung the result.

Prince Louis' loud hobby is the hilarious reason Prince William spends his life with 'his fingers in his ears'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Prince and Princess of Wales have raised some very active children, with all three of their youngsters finding joy in various hobbies. Over the years, we've learnt about Prince George's unusually mature hobby and Princess Charlotte's love for dancing and gymnastics. And it seems that Prince Louis has found his calling in a musical pastime - but it's left Prince William living with 'his fingers in his ears'. During an appearance at the 2024 Tusk Conservation Awards in London, HELLO! reports that William told guests, "My youngest is learning the drums – that's why I spend my entire life with my fingers in my ears." Arguably one of the loudest instruments you could pick up, it's no surprise that Louis, who sits fourth in the royal line of succession and has delighted royal fans with his loud, bubbly personality during public appearances, has picked up the expressive instrument. While Prince William jokingly complained about the noise caused by Louis' latest hobby, he might actually be the one to blame for his interest in the drums. Last year, during an appearance on the Apple Fitness+ podcast Time to Walk, William revealed that he's a massive fan of the Australian rock band AC/DC, especially their 'head-banging' song Thunderstuck, admitting that blaring it is his favourite way to start the week. "There's nothing better than, on a Monday morning, when you're a bit bleary-eyed after the weekend and trying to get yourself back into the grind of the week, listening to AC/DC - Thunderstruck," he said. "It absolutely wakes you up, puts your week in the best mood possible, and you feel like you can take on anything and anyone," he added. "I'd imagine you're going to walk quite fast listening to it, maybe with a skip in your step, with the head-banging. It's a difficult song not to dance to or to nod along to." What are most parents doing on a Monday morning? The school run! With George, Charlotte, and Louis in the car as he blasts out that song, who can blame Louis for being inspired and wanting to take up the drums? When he's not playing the drums, Louis is out on the rugby pitch. Prince George enjoys the sport, too, as the Princess of Wales revealed when she and Prince William attended the Six Nations match between England and Wales earlier this year. "At weekends we go from one competition to the next," William said when speaking with injured players, according to Hello! . Kate added, "Louis is six and he's just started touch rugby, and George is 11 and he plays a bit more. They do really enjoy it." An exclusive afternoon of drinks and conversation!
