Nathan Fillion has been officially cast as Guy Gardner, a notable Green Lantern, in the upcoming DC Universe (DCU) television series Lanterns. The announcement was made by DC Studios co-head James Gunn.

Key points from the article:

1. Casting Confirmed: Fillion will portray Guy Gardner, known for his distinctive (often abrasive) personality.
2. Cross-Project Role: Fillion will play the same Guy Gardner character first in James Gunn's upcoming  (formerly Superman: Legacy) and then continue the role in the Lanterns series, establishing the character across the new DCU.
3. Fillion's DC History: While new to playing Guy Gardner in live-action, Fillion has a history with Green Lantern, having voiced Hal Jordan in several DC animated films. He also worked with Gunn previously in The Suicide Squad (as T.D.K.).
4. About the Lanterns Series: The show is described as a major DCU TV project, focusing on a "terrestrial-based" mystery involving Green Lanterns. Though Hal Jordan and Jessica Cruz are expected to be the main leads (often compared tonally to True Detective), Fillion's Guy Gardner will clearly be a significant presence.

In essence, the article confirms Nathan Fillion's significant role as Guy Gardner within the interconnected framework of the new DCU, appearing in both the upcoming Superman movie and the Lanterns TV show.
