Emmy winner Kyle Chandler is in negotiations to star in Lanterns, HBO‘s high-profile series based on the Green Lantern DC comic, sources tell Deadline.

After Josh Brolin reportedly turned the role down, here comes former Friday Night Lights star to potentially save the day. Deadline reports that “no one is commenting” but they hear the role is for Highball Hal Jordan.

The series from Ozark’s Chris Mundy, Watchmen‘s Damon Lindelof and comic book writer Tom King follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland
