Nathan Fillion's Green Lantern is becoming a staple of the new DC Universe.

Fillion is a busy actor, with the star currently leading the long-running The Rookie, as well as working on an animated revival of his cult classic space Western series Firefly alongside other original cast members of the sci-fi series. That said, amid Fillion's long list of movies and TV shows, the actor keeps finding projects to return as Guy Gardner. The sarcastic Green Lantern was introduced in James Gunn's Superman movie, being part of the superhero team known as the Justice Gang. Now, it seems like Fillion's Green Lantern is becoming one of the most important players in the DCU Chapter One.

Set to return at some point on HBO's Lanterns, which debuts this Sunday, Fillion will also come back as Guy Gardner in Mister Miracle, as showrunner Tom King has confirmed the update to Entertainment Weekly. King is one of the creators who developed DC's new Green Lantern series, which stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, alongside Ozark's Chris Mundy and Watchmen's Damon Lindelof.

According to King, those who watch Guy in Lanterns, which is billed as a gritty detective series, will have no problem with the character in animated form, as he is "over the top." Check out Tom King's full quote about Fillion's Guy Gardner joining Mister Miracle below:

“We brought Nathan into Mister Miracle’s show, and doing that, it’s just so wonderful. He brings that energy to every aspect of it. And you would think it would be different tonally from [Lanterns], but it blends because that’s who Guy is. He’s that guy who is over the top. We all know that guy who’s a little bit like that.”
