HBO's 'Lanterns' Potentially Casts 'The Wire' Actor as Red Lantern Atrocitus

Accomplished character actor Paul Ben-Victor is joining the DCU in the upcoming HBO seriesLanterns, and he might be secretly playing a fan-favorite DC villain. Lanterns is currently filming, aiming for a 2026 premiere date that will likely come before the release of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Even though Lanterns has been described as an Earth-bound mystery involving Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), that doesn't mean intergalactic threats won't find their way into the series.
