Jon Hamm is a self-professed comic book nerd and he’s trying to get involved with Marvel and DC projects. However, he turned down one opportunity to star in a big DC movie, but perhaps that was for the best.
In 2011, Ryan Reynolds starred in Green Lantern before going on to find much greater success with his Deadpool movies. The Green Lantern film was a dud, heavily panned upon release and coming up short at the box office. It’s been reported that Hamm was one of the actors in consideration for Hal Jordan before Reynolds’ casting, and the Mad Men star confirms he was offered the part in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He said he “definitely” didn’t want to take on that role before sharing how he’s actively pitching himself for other characters in the superhero movie realm.
There hasn’t been a theatrical Green Lantern movie since, though a project focusing on multiple versions of the superhero is in development for the DCU. Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern is also set to be featured in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie with Nathan Fillion in the role. The stars of the upcoming series haven’t yet been revealed, though Finn Wittrock has commented on losing the role after being attached to a previous version of the show that didn’t get made.
