Estelle Getty from The Golden Girls – ryan

Recently, Superman Star Nathan Fillion Revealed the Surprisis television icon that he channeled to play Guy Gardner/Green Lantern. Alongside Fillion, The DC Universe Film Stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Sara Sampaio, Anthony Carrigan, Edi Gathegi, and Isabela Merced, Among Others. Fillion’s Green Lantern, Along With Gathegi As Mystery Terrific and Merced As Hawkgirl, Will Be Part of the Corporate-Sponsored Justice Gang, A Group of Superheroes Who Differently from Kind-Hearted Superman.

Fillion’s Casting As Guy Comes After Years of Fans Dream-Casting Him as Green Lantern, Though Many Though he was suited to the Hal Iteration of the Hero. Nononeheless, the Firefly Star is a long-time collaborator and friend of Superman’s Director, James Gunn, SO his hating a roles in the film is hardly a surprise. What is a surprise, howver, is the character he modelhed his green lantern after.

In an appearance on the DC Studios Showcase Official PodcastStart explained that Estelle Getty’s Ornery Yet Lovable Sophia Petrillo inspired His Portrayal of Guy:

You know, i took my inspiration from the oldest cast from golden girls, where she just, what she wants to say, just there was no filter. JUST WHATH IT IS. There is. He’s JUST Gonna Say it.

The Actor Continued by Clarifying How’s Reconciles with Guy’s Comic backsory, Adding: “Part of his originh was he was, at one point, hit by a bus and was in a choma. SO I JUST SAY THAT’S THING THAT FLIPED The SWITCH. That’s the thing that caused a little bit of brain damage. Now he just… off a little bit.“

Sophia Petrillo was known for her unfiltered, brutal sense of humor

While Comparing Guy Gardner to Sophia Petrillo SEEMS Strange on the Surface, ITH’S WITH WITH WITH. In The Golden GirlsGetty Portrays the Mother of Beatrice Arthur’s Dorothy Zgornak, and She Lives with Her Daughter and Their Two Friends, Rose White and Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan). Sophia is unfiltered and brutal, offen roasting the other women on the show. For that reason, she is a favorite and the source of the series’ humor.

The Official Trailer for the DCU’s Superman offers another thriling at the Guy Gardner, and it look more promising than ever.

As for how that Relations to Guy, IT’S SIMPLE: he’s a rough, aggressive personality. Arguably the Biggest jerk in the Green Lantern Corps, the Character is Known for Being Rude and Cocky. Though sophia is less brutal than guy in her actions, the type of humor she brings to The Golden Girls Has an edge to it, which start May be replicating in Superman.

Guy Gardner May Be A Source of Humor In Superman

With the justice gang making a cameo in the Peacemaker Season Two Trailer, More of Guy’s Personality Has Been Showcased, as he was seen mocking the hawkgirl and peacemaker Himself. Fillion’s Green Lantern has a meanness to Him with humor someone softNing his edges, Making the sophia comparison more evident. Unfortunately, though, Superman Will Likely Not Be Thanking Green Lantern for Being A Friend by the End of the Film.
