A post shared by Garret Dillahunt ( @garretdillahunt )

When Dillahunt was first mould , it was annunciate that he would play William Macon , a " modern rodeo rider " and " a ego - righteous , cabal - minded human being who masks his ruthless ambition behind a wizard and calculated facade . " But last month , Dillahunt posted an image of himself that sure looked like he might actually be playing Oliver Queen , aka Green Arrow . The fact that there was n’t much with the persona to explain and that it was n’t around for long got folks believe that " William Macon " was a cover , and Dillahunt was about to debut as an older interpretation of the Emerald Archer . Considering the hamper that Queen and Green Lantern Hal Jordan ( play by Chandler in the HBO serial publication ) had over the years in the funnies universe , it would n’t be that surprising .

Lanterns: Hawes on “True Detective” Talk, Aaron Pierre & DC Studios

Speaking withThe Hollywood Reporterin support of his feature article film , The Amateur , originally this month , directorJames Hawes(Slow Horse ) addressed theTrue Detectivecomparisons , what Pierre work to the series , and how it ’s been ( so far ) working with DC Studios :

Hawes on How " Lanterns " Compares In Tone to " True tec " : " Talking feeling , it looks and feels root . You meet two guys , but there is wit and comedy to it that you would not anticipate in ' True Detective . ' It is , in many ways , a buddy cop complex body part with locomotion in the story prison term , to and fro , that is really sophisticated . Chris Mundy has done the most amazing job with the team there , and so I think [ the ' True Detective ' comparing ] is valid . hoi polloi will still go , ' What were you talk about ? ' to some extent , but I would also bring in ' No Country for Old Men , ' ' Fargo , ' and thing that have that Americana heart to them . There ’s a dry bodily fluid , and so there definitely is more brainpower and sense of humour than there is in ' True Detective . ' "

Hawes on Aaron Pierre consume a " Magnificent Presence " : " I honestly think he did it totally individually in the elbow room . With some chemistry cast and the like , it just felt like he would inhabit the theatrical role . He has such a magnificent bearing . He finger so forceful , so coolheaded , so unpretentious . Again , I require this world to be root , and while there ’s only so far you could go with rooting characters in a show about Green Lantern , they are . This is a world where we accept that the Green Lanterns exist and aliens exist . So the residual of it is played straight and in the world as we fuck it . "

Hawes on Working with DC Studios : " Well , I can only evidence you from my experience , which is that it has been exalt and supportive and truly electrifying . I will know more in a few month ' time , but right now , [ Lanterns ] just feel like a genuine burst of creative energy .
