While there isn't much information available yet, it has been suggested that the upcoming television series, Lanterns, will have similar themes and tone to the well-known crime drama, True Detective. It's worth noting that the character has the potential to succeed in a film, given his high recognition as a hero in the DC Comics universe.

However, the character may need a fresh approach and possibly even a new persona, as Hal Jordan's traditional portrayal could come across as too ordinary for today's audience.
