As DC Studios’s highly anticipated Lanterns series prepares for production, star Poorna Jagannathan has shared intriguing details about the show’s ambitious scope. In a recent interview with Collider , Jagannathan, who plays the character Zoe in the upcoming Max series, expressed her admiration for the project’s script, suggesting the series holds major revelations for James Gunn’s DC Universe. Her comments arrive as the show’s impressive ensemble cast continues to take shape, with recent additions including The Blacklist star Ulrich Thomsen as the iconic villain Sinestro .
Thomsen joins an enviable cast that also includes Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart. “This is the first script that I’ve read that I understand why there’s an NDA,” Jagannathan revealed, highlighting the project’s secretive nature. “Everything is so insane.
It is the best writing that I have ever read,” she added. The actress further elaborated on how the series makes the traditionally complex Green Lantern mythology accessible, stating, “I don’t know anything about sci-fi, and I don’t care, actually. But this script makes sci-fi seem like my world.
It makes it so accessible to me. I understand everything about this world even though I don’t understand this world.” Jagannathan also confirmed that camera testing for the series begins immediately, signaling the start of production.
The enthusiasm for Lanterns extends beyond Jagannathan, with writ.
