Recently, much of the DC Films Universe casting news has come from fans noticing a trend among cast members, directors, and studio higher-ups following certain actors on Twitter. It may sound a little far-fetched, but this trend has led to the reveal of Rick Famuyiwa as the now former director of The Flash, Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke, and more recently, rumors of Monty Pyhton's John Cleese and his possible involvement with DC Films, which you can read about HERE. Now, it seems as though another following spree has begun, and the focus of it is The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'s Armie Hammer.
Earlier today, fans on Twitter noticed that CCO of DC Comics and co-head of DC Films, Geoff Johns and Justice League's Joe Manganiello (Deathstoke) followed Armie Hammer's official Twitter account. What does this mean exactly? Well, even though it's a stretch, it is possible that Hammer is currently involved with DC Films in some capacity. This could also mean that the actor has either joined Ben Affleck's upcoming Batman film, or Zack Snyder's Justice League. Could he be Green Lantern Hal Jordan? We'll just have to wait and see.
This wouldn't be Hammer's first time dealing with Warner Bros. and DC. Back in 2009, he was set to take on the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in George Miller's cancelled Justice League: Mortal. He also recently starred alongside Henry Cavill (Superman) in Guy Ritchie's film adaptation of the 1964 television series, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Do you think there's anything to this, or is it just a coincidence?
