Guy Gardner based on Superman’s Nathan Filion on a Golden Girls character

In James Gunn’S Superman Film, there is a character who is already stealing scenes before the film falls, the Jolly Loudmouth of Green Lantern, Guy Gardner. Nathan Fillion He is playing the character and seems to have the time of his life by channeling one of the most chaotic and adorable idiots of DC.

We have seen pieces and pieces of Fillion Guy Gardner in trailers and it is snarky, arrogant, swallowed that cut of bowl not sorry, and it is clear that it is nailing the atmosphere.

But in a recent appearance on the official podcast of the DC Studios Showcase, Fillion revealed something that launched fans for a delicious cycle, her performance is inspired by … Sophia da Golden girls. Sophia is the Queen without frills of Estelle Getty, with a zero filter of the classic sitcom. He explained:

“You know, I took inspiration from the oldest cast member of Golden Girls, where she, whatever wanted to say, was not a filter.

“He just said, thanks, Estelle Getty. Thanks. Whatever it is, here he will say it. Part of his origin was that he was at some point hit by a bus and he was in a coma.

“So I just say that it is the thing that launched the switch. This is the thing that caused a little damage to the brain. Now it’s just … out a little.”

It’s a fun and fun choice, but it works. Guy Gardner has always been the lantern that says the quiet part strong, often with the dismay of teammates and fans, and Fillion clearly gets it. He is giving the size of the character, stratifying the swagger with something bizarre and captivating.

As for the appearance of the character, in particular the cutting of the bowl, Fillion was not about to let him go. He said:

“There was talk of several hairstyles. There was talk of some different types of things we were about to go. I was the Bowl Team cut throughout the path. It is canonical. It is set.

“I said, if we don’t make a cutting of the bowl, we will hear about it,” he said. This is the type of loyalty of the comics that we respect.

When he was asked whether to hire a lesser known character came with an additional pressure, Fillion did not see him in this way. In fact, he saw him as a creative gift.

“I think that if something else is a freedom. I think the real mail in play and that type of stress would probably be on David. Sai, you are playing Superman. Good luck.

“People have many expectations. But if you are coming with something that is a bit fresh for some people, it’s all about you. For example, hey, I have to decide how it will go.”

And for those who ask themselves if we see the notorious constructs of Green Lanterna of Gardner, Fillion gave a great “absolutely”, before immediately pulling a classic move and dodging the details.

“Exactly what you would expect from Guy Gardner. I want to say, if you said:” Hey, there is an emergency. We need a green lantern “, Guy Gardner is the boy you hope you don’t understand.

“There are miles out there, throughout the universe.” God, please not boy. Not boy. “You have a boy.

Whatever is bringing to the table, one thing is certain, Fillion’s Guy Gardner will be one of the jokers to look at when Superman It strikes cinemas on 11 July.
