Which actor portrays John Stewart in the DC series Lanterns?

Aaron Pierre portrays John Stewart in the DC series Lanterns.

Stewart is introduced as a new Green Lantern recruit who is being trained by the more experienced Hal Jordan. The series presents him as both a former Marine and an artistic architect, giving the character a combination of military discipline and creative imagination.

The production selected Pierre after screen tests with Kyle Chandler, who plays Jordan. Pierre was confirmed for the role in October 2024. He had previously appeared as Dev-Em in the DC-related series Krypton and was nearly cast as Adam Warlock in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

This version of Stewart has an unusual origin within the Corps. According to the series’ background, he is the first Green Lantern in its history recruited directly by the Guardians of the Universe rather than being chosen by a power ring. That detail distinguishes the television interpretation from the usual Lantern selection process.
