Before Lanterns, Aaron Pierre Was In Krypton

Aaron Pierre: But I think, I think what we’re doing with Dev now is, you know, we’re paying all homage to, you know, the history that has been established for us, and we’re now saying, hey, maybe this is an opportunity for us to establish our DevM and how we envision DevM on Krypton. Generations before, you know, the big man arrived. That’s right. Well, I, I like it. I mean, I, I know he’s even been a hero in the, in the comics too, uh, in the 30th century, so he’s played both sides of the fence and which is not unusual for DC.Their characters tend to go all over the place, but that’s the beauty. It seems to me that he is kind of a traditionalist.

Tony Tellado: Would you say that is accurate about him?

Aaron Pierre: Yeah, absolutely, dude. That’s, I think that’s really spot on in in regards to his, his history, you know, the, the House of M, you know, historically, you know, they have this unwavering respect for the law and authority and and also anybody who they serve with, and that that’s, you know, irrespective of whether somebody is ranked higher or lower than them.
Anybody who they serve with, they also have this unwavering respect for. I think Dev. In addition to having all of those traits, he is now of a generation which, you know, he’s he’s very curious to not, not change the way things are, but he, he, he, he’s not, he’s not afraid to grow and to develop a new perspective and outlook on things, which is, I think, you know, over time as the the series develops, you’ll you’ll begin to really see that he, he, he really challenges himself and it’s, I think it’s quite difficult, you know, for Dev to do that because it’s been instilled in him to believe a certain thing and to behave in a certain way for so long, but now he’s really, you know, he’s really at a place where he’s like, actually, you know, maybe there’s more to everything than I think there is. Oh yeah, definitely.

Tony Tellado: You know, it just seems like, uh, you know, Georgina Campbell’s Lyta-Zod is there’s, there’s a little bit of conflict there, but I know that even, even I saw it in the, in the first episode, there’s some feeling there too.

Aaron Pierre: Absolutely. I mean, you know, fundamentally before, you know, they were bound and they were one another’s intended, you know, they met as friends, you know, they, they have seen each other around the city, you know, but before, you know, before anything happened, you know, they met on a, on a friend basis and and they actually have a lot of mutual love and respect for one another and also are very protective of one another. It becomes complicated once you add the, you know, the, the, the, the aspect of, uh, you know, being bonded and, and, and one another’s intended to it. That’s another thing, you know, but, um, yeah, they do, they do have different perspectives also, but I think they challenge each other to grow, and that’s what’s most awesome about their.
That’s sort of constantly challenging each other to to develop. Now I know that this is, this at times could be a very physical world.
