Acclaimed actor Kyle Chandler is set to bring a beloved superhero to life in an upcoming series, according to insiders. This marks Chandler’s first series role since his stint on the 2022 drama “Super Pumped.” The show, which received a straight-to-series order earlier this year, boasts an impressive creative team, including Chris Mundy, known for his work on “Ozark,” and Eisner Award-winning comics writer Tom King.
The series, described as having a dark and gritty tone reminiscent of “True Detective,” follows the story of a seasoned hero who reluctantly takes on a younger protégé, John Stewart, one of the first African American superheroes in the DC universe. As they investigate a murder with far-reaching consequences, the two characters must navigate their complex relationship and the larger implications of their mission.
Fans of the comics are eagerly anticipating this adaptation, which promises to delve deep into the rich lore of the DC universe. With a talented team at the helm, this series has the potential to explore new themes and ideas, building on the success of previous comic book adaptations.
Chandler’s casting is seen as a major coup, bringing a level of gravitas and experience to the role. Insiders suggest that his character may not be long for this world, paving the way for John Stewart to take center stage. With DC’s track record of producing high-quality live-action series, expectations are running high for this latest venture.
