As someone who was looking forward the Green Lantern movie in 2011, only to be disappointed by it, I’m glad this corner of the DC Comics mythology is getting another shot at live action. Lanterns, the Green Lantern TV series set in the DC Universe, is now filming, and one of the characters whom Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart will meet is Poorna Jagannathan’s Zoe, who will be John’s love interest. Jagannathan confirmed in a recent interview that Lanterns will feature the Guardians of the Universe, which is a big enough deal on its own. However, I’m way more excited about the Green Lantern villains she may have teased in her comment.

While plugging her new series Deli Boys, which can now be streamed with a Hulu subscription, to @mpmorales, Jagannathan spent some time talking about her upcoming DC TV show, which will follow Creature Commandos Season 1 and Peacemaker Season 2 on the DC Universe’s small screen front. Here’s what she had to say:

As someone who was concerned just a few months ago about how Lanterns seemed to be shying away from its cosmic roots, I’m glad to hear the Guardians of the Universe will appear in the series. These are the beings who created and lead the Green Lantern Corps from their homeworld of Oa. Their presence in Lanterns indicates that either Hal and John will be visiting Oa at some point in the series, or they’ll communicate with these small-statured, yet powerful blue-skinned aliens using their emerald rings of willpower.
