DC Studios' highly anticipated "Lanterns" series, part of the new DC Universe and set to premiere on HBO, has been steadily building its cast. Last fall, "King Kong" star Kyle Chandler was tapped to play veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan, while Aaron Pierre, known for his roles in "Mufasa: The Lion King" and "Rebel Ridge," was cast as fellow Green Lantern John Stewart. The latest addition to the ensemble is Danish actor Ulrich Thomsen (pictured below), who previously appeared in the James Bond film "The World Is Not Enough."
Thomsen will portray the iconic DC Comics antagonist Sinestro. The character was previously brought to life by Mark Strong in the 2011 "Green Lantern" movie, which concluded with a tease of Sinestro's descent from a Green Lantern into villainy. However, plans for a sequel were ultimately scrapped following the film's disappointing box office performance.

Helmed by "Watchmen" producer Damon Lindelof, alongside showrunner Chris Mundy and co-creator Tom King, "Lanterns" is described as a partner detective series in the vein of "True Detective." The plot follows Hal Jordan and John Stewart as they investigate a perplexing murder case in the American heartland, which soon draws them into a darker, Earth-based mystery. Previously confirmed cast members include Kelly Macdonald as Sheriff Kerry, Garret Dillahunt as William Macon, and Poorna Jagannathan as Zoe.
