Green Lantern: Dominion is an upcoming American superhero film based on characters from DC Comics. Produced by DC Studios and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is the fourth installment in the DC Cinematic Universe (DCCU). Directed by Gareth Evans and written by Joe Tracz, the film stars Aldis Hodge as John Stewart and Callum Turner as Hal Jordan, alongside Lashana Lynch, Lance Reddick, Babs Olusanmokun, Alex Wolff, Michelle Yeoh, and Viola Davis reprising her role as Amanda Waller.
The film centers on the fractured Green Lantern Corps as a cosmic civil war erupts over control of ancient ring-forging technology, known as the Dominion Protocol. When an interstellar arms race breaks out between militant factions, veteran Lanterns John Stewart and Hal Jordan are forced to reunite to prevent universal collapse. Meanwhile, Amanda Waller races to secure Earth’s role in the cosmic order—by any means necessary.
Green Lantern: Dominion is scheduled for release on May 19, 2028, as the fourth entry in the DCCU’s Chapter One: Crisis.
