Actor Kyle Chandler has said that the upcoming DC television series "Lanterns" will not unfold as a "slow burn", despite a cliffhanger ending for Hal Jordan's story in the first episode. His comments will reassure viewers hoping for a faster-paced instalment of the Green Lantern franchise, which has faced mixed fortunes on screen in the past.

Chandler, who stars in the show, described the unfolding plot as "an exciting poker game", suggesting a series driven by tension, strategy and steadily raised stakes rather than a drawn-out build-up. Beyond these remarks, the article does not provide further detail on plot, cast or release information.
