Kyle Chandler discusses personal connection to ‘Lanterns’ role

Actor Kyle Chandler has shared the personal connection he felt while filming the HBO Max series ‘Lanterns’. Playing the experienced Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Chandler found the character's relationship with the younger John Stewart, played by Aaron Pierre, to be deeply emotional.

Chandler revealed that the father-son dynamic between the two characters resonated with him because he lost his own father at the age of 14. He noted that during filming, the bond grew as his character shared life experiences and stood up for the younger hero. Chandler stated, ‘I could do what my father would have done for me,’ reflecting on how his childhood experiences influenced his performance in the series finale.
