Green Lantern star Aaron Pierre has finally broken his silence on his role in upcoming HBO show Lanterns, reassuring fans that the legendary DC comic book character is in safe hands.

"What I can tell you is that the team are just super, super excited to have this opportunity to bring this story to the people," said Pierre in an interview with ComicBook. "And, so far as I’m concerned, I’m gonna do my very best to serve and honor and elevate in any way I can, John Stewart and the [Green Lantern] Corps. Hopefully, I serve that and it resonates with me."
