Chris Pine Says He Was Never Up For GREEN LANTERN

Chris Pine Says He Was Never Up For GREEN LANTERN

Actor Chris Pine was initially rumored to be choosing between the roles of Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman and a lead role as Hal Jordan in Green Lantern but the Star Trek Beyond actor says he never even had any Green Lantern discussions.

Back in June, Latino-Review reported that Chris Pine was actually closing in on a deal to play Green Lantern , not Steve Trevor in the DCEU.  In July, Bith.Movies.Death reported that "Pine is definitely leaning towards Green Lantern."  However, Pine is currently making the press rounds to promote his new film, Finest Hours, and stated that he never even had a discussion about Green Lantern.  “No. I was not offered Green Lantern ever, I’ve never had a conversation about Green Lantern.”

Do you believe Pine?  Keep in mind, we are currently in an age where actors and film studios routinely deny things that actually turn out to be true.

Pine is currently filming Wonder Woman which opens in North American theaters on June 23, 2017.  Green Lantern is rumored to make a cameo appearance at the end of Justice League: Part One before starring in a solo film dated for release in 2017 before receiving his own stand-alone film in 2020.

I bet their(DC/WB) going to pass on Lantern for a bit due to the greatness of the previous movie.

I like that choice . If the other guy is Hal , why not have John also . Hopefully that rumor of a GL corps movie is a real deal .

He is definitely Hal Jordan, look at his reaction. I totally see him as Hal Jordan. Good choice Snyder! Check from 26:20

I would agree with Chris Pine. I never though he was offered the role due to a source of mine. It was said that he was offered the part possibly to distract or mislead. They have already picked who will be Green Lantern (my belief). My pick is what @BaneandDawn said:

Just get Michael B. Jordan to play John Stewart. Fantastic Four 2 will never happen, so bag him while you still can.

Dan Amboyer LOOKS like Hal Jordan, however is unproven and isn't leading man material.

"actors and film studios routinely deny things that actually turn out to be true."

Don't be a [frick]ing moron. He's clearly already got the other part, we've seen set pics of him for [frick]s sake!

There's no reason to deny that he was up for anything else at this point. None.

@ManCalledSting

That would blow everyone's mind. That would be the biggest secret keep for sure. Especially how Ryan expression for that character is now so negative. Though they keep saying that it's a reboot (Green Lantern), but who's truthful in Hollywood now a days lol.

@WakandasSoul

Great minds do think alike. I always thought that Nate Parker should be John Stewart a long time ago. Make it so!!!!

I have a strange feeling that Green Lantern is not going to be in BvS (and maybe even Justice League). The reason why is because I think the film rights to the property still belong to Greg Berlanti's production company (at least until next year). I think he has held that option since 2011 when they originally announced that they were going to go make a "Green Lantern 2", but of course that wasn't green-lit. Correct me if I am wrong, but film options usually lapse in about 5 years if no film is made.
