Lanterns Episode 3 Guest Cast Includes Laura Linney, Jasmine Cephas Jones and More

For the latest Lantern episode, fans witnessed Laura Linney’s return as The Guardian. Her role came as a pleasant surprise to fans, as her role wasn’t disclosed earlier, and it wasn't clear which Guardian she was playing. But in the latest episode, she appeared as the Guardian of the Universe, meaning one of Hal Jordan’s bosses, who confronted John’s mother, Bernadette.

Another guest star featured in the recently released Lanterns episode was Jasmine Cephas Jones, who appeared as Bernadette Stewart, John’s mother. Viewers saw how John was shaped into who he is today, starting from his childhood. One of the scenes where his parents bought him a Green Lantern suit and a gun on his fifth birthday was quite unexpected for the fans.

Young John’s father, John Stewart Sr., played by J. Alphonse Nicholson, appeared in the latest episode. Throughout the episode, scenes from young John’s childhood featured both his parents. Fans saw his unusual birthday present: the infamous apple-shooting scene from his father’s head, followed by John opting to shoot the apple from his mother’s head.

While Sergio Lanza appeared in The Lanterns episode 3 as The Recruiter, fans also wondered about Mark D. Espinosa’s mystery role. Some fans also wondered whether he was supposed to be Ganthet, the most prominent of the Guardians in the comics, or Linney Ganthet.
