Finn Wittrock Cast as Green Lantern Guy Gardner in HBO Max’s DC Universe Series
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-30T18:10:58+00:00“>April 30, 2021 | 2:10pm ET Beware his freakin’ power, Finn Wittrock has Guy Gardner’s might.

Coming from executive producer Greg Berlanti (he of The CW’s Arrowverse) and showrunner Seth Grahame-Smith (The LEGO Batman Movie), Green Lantern is said to feature different incarnations of the title character from across galaxies — and across time. That makes sense giving the legacy of the Green Lantern character, as the comics have typically featured numerous characters wearing the Power Rings of the Green Lante...

Since it was revealed that Musk, a union-busting COVID skeptic, will be hosting the May 8th episode, several SNL cast and crew members have voiced their displeasure. Aidy Bryant, one of SNL‘s longest tenured cast members, reposted a tweet by Senator Bernie Sanders that called it a “moral obscenity” that “the 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people.” Bowen Yang, a popular newcomer to the cast, responded to Musk tweeting, “Let’s find out just how live Saturday Night ...

According to CNBC, HBO Max is launching a new ad-supported tier in June for the lower monthly price of $9.99. WarnerMedia rolled out HBO Max last May, and it came with a recurring price tag of $14.99 that endures today. Those willing to dish out an additional five bucks a month can continue enjoying an ad-free experience, but for anyone feeling the crunch of multiple streaming subscriptions, or for those who were scared off by the initial cost of about $180 a year, putting up with few commercials is a cost-effective alternative.
