Nathan Fillion Champions Guy Gardner’s Bowl Cut with Unapologetic Swagger
Okay, let’s talk about something that's got everyone buzzing right now—Nathan Fillion, Guy Gardner, and that glorious, unapologetically goofy bowl cut . Yep, that’s right. If you've caught the latest promotional material for the new “Superman” film, you’ve probably already asked yourself, “What is going on with Nathan Fillion’s hair?” But let me tell you—he’s owning it. Completely and unapologetically.
Fillion plays Guy Gardner, one of the more infamous Green Lanterns in the DC universe—brash, blunt, and undeniably entertaining. He’s not your average superhero. In fact, he’s what you might call a bit of a jerk . But that’s exactly what makes him stand out in a world full of noble and selfless do-gooders. And you know what? That extreme hairstyle? It’s part of the package.

At the “Superman” premiere in Hollywood, Fillion made it clear: the bowl cut stays. According to him, trying anything else would’ve been a disservice to the original comic character. He said, and I quote, “I was team bowl cut the whole way.” That alone tells you how much respect he has for the comic roots. And really, think about it—if you see a grown man rocking a bowl cut like it’s no big deal, you instantly know: that guy does not care what anyone thinks. And that, in essence, is Guy Gardner.
But beyond the haircut, Fillion is clearly having the time of his life playing such a hilariously flawed character. Gardner is loud, selfish, and rarely diplomatic—but still a hero, in his own chaotic way. He adds levity and tension to every scene he’s in. Fillion has voiced Hal Jordan before, so stepping into Guy’s boots (and bowl cut) is a pivot—and he embraces the contrast.
Physically, though, the role had its challenges. Fillion shared how uncomfortable the flying harnesses were, revealing he ended up with a purple bruise the size of a fist on his kidney. Still, he was adamant about getting the flight scenes just right because, as he put it, he’s “very picky about flight in film.” That attention to detail just shows how much he cares about doing this character justice.
And let’s not forget—the legacy of this performance isn’t stopping here. Fillion’s Guy Gardner will appear again in the upcoming “Lanterns” series and is expected to cross over into season two of “Peacemaker.” So if you’re loving this version of Green Lantern, you’re in luck—there’s more coming.
Honestly, seeing Nathan Fillion bring such a quirky, misunderstood, and downright eccentric character to life is refreshing. He’s not trying to make Gardner likable. He’s just making him real . And that, bowl cut and all, is what makes it work.
