The character was first introduced in 1971\u2019s \u201cGreen Lantern No. 87,\u201d 12 years after Jordan and the larger Green Lantern Corps mythos arrived on the scene.<\/p>\n

Aaron Pierre shot to global fame following his role in the Netflix thriller \u2018Rebel Ridge,\u2019 directed by Jeremy Saulnier.<\/p>\n

The movie tells the story of Terry Richmond, played by Pierre, who uncovers a widespread conspiracy and corruption after a corrupt local police force seizes the money to bail his cousin out of prison.<\/p>\n
