Yes because what we need is more handsome statuesq white men who can't act anchoring more of their movies.
Get good actors, not just people who look good.
And for the love of god, don't do Hal Jordan, your cinematic universe is already set up to have Kyle Rayner.

I really fail to see how this guy is worse than Hemsworth or Evans.
I don't know man. Black Hawk Down is the first time I really noticed the Hollywood hype machine, and that cast just sticks in my mind for some reason. It's weird
And you a trash guy

There was a time when sizemore seemed like he was being shoved in every war flick no doubt haha
Still he's all good with me after that epic stare he gives in Heat

Booster Gold and Shazam were the popular two. If he ends up as Hal, maybe he's "Hal" in name only.
Armie is a fine actor but he's most fun as a self deprecating jackass. He'd be better as Guy than Hal if he had to be a GL.
The generic white guy that is hot that year is always like that. I thought the dude from the office was going to be the next one, until he went on that rant about people not seeing his Benghazi movie.
Hemsworth has 2 problems, can't carry a movie and he blurs together with his brother. Like people confuse the two more than the Olsen Twins. But I think he learning to exercise his comedy chops, he was the one bright spot in that fucking Vacation movie.

didn't work for her!
Armie Hammer is talented.
Invalid comparison. A significant part of that woman's downfall was her being terrible to people she worked with.
The way she threw the writers for Grey under the bus is legendary. I love Shonda for not taking no shit. She will work with you if you are a little weird but if you out there REALLY fucking up, she will eat your soul. Ask Isaiah Washington and Patrick Demphsey

They can't really afford to go with just hal again. If he is a green Lantern I think there will be like 2 of them in Justice League and maybe more in their own film as the major characters
DeathoftheEndless
Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
My point was that maybe Armie Hammer has more than being white and good-looking ; maybe he has good work ethics, too!

He needs Sinestro who doesn't turn evil at the end of the first movie. I'm talking like, a 3 movie arc for him turning so he has somebody to at least play off as a mentor/friend who can provide personality.
Either that or just do Rayner and make Hal a side character.
So boring that it became a central theme for him and his powers

Last I heard of Isaiah Washington, he was fan casting himself as Black Manta.
Is the world ready the crab mask?
Has that every worked for anyone?
He's going into directing and producing as well. I'm sure that has more to do with it than whatever you just brought up.
His last movie didn't do so great, though.

Right. It will live or die based on how good the film is.

IF this is true: Arnie Hammer being the best they can get speaks volumes about the state of the DCEU.
Right. I don't understand DC's current infatuation with this character. From C-list to the most boring guy on the Teen Titans to now a founding member of the JLA with his own movie. WTF?
And FFS sake just make the GL Stewart already.

I think Evans has more charisma than Hammer, but I haven't seen anything Hammer has done since Lone Ranger.
Or maybe they just seen he was a great fit for the role.....

I bet they said the same thing about Reynolds...
The movie sucked, Reynolds was decent in the role.

We'll find out soon. The long road of Tyrese vying for John Stewart is nearing its end.
A lot is pushing. His only good project before Cap was Sunshine, and maybe Scott Pilgrim.
Nobody said you can't.
I am laughing so hard I am crying. He has put in the work like no one else. He is the second highest grossing actor in Hollywood. Add up Transformers and the FF movies

Tyrese.
The dude who dropped Nobody Else.
Dude's agent must thank Jesus every day for Bay and Vin Diesel.

Do you even Tomasi bro?
It wouldnt be hard to make him interesting. If not just turn Diggle into GL in Arrow, they are basically the same character.

He would work if they didn't get Captain Awesome from Chuck.

Can't this just mean he was friendly with them through his buddy Cavill?He was also in the Man from Uncle movie with Superman
Rayner and West pretty much defined their mantles, now DC is like "New phone, who dis?"

Honestly, if you're doing GL, I'd pull Jensen Ackles as Guy and Mahershala Ali as Stewart.
The latter is so damn charismatic, he could bring some shine to Stewart. Get back at Marvel for cutting his shine short.
Armie Hammer? He would've been good as Steve "Vanilla" Trevor. Hawkman or Green Arrow. Batman-specific? Probably a villain then: Red Hood or Hush.

Mahershala Ali on the come up for sure. Dude seems like he's clinched for best supporting nomination this year as well.
If he's playing Hal Jordan than this is a good choice.

Armie Hammer was good in Birth of a Nation too he's definitely talented.
Yeah he was my favorite part about Luke Cage glad to see a Bay Area brotha succeed in Hollywood.

I really need to see Moonlight. Always liked the actor, and glad to see him on the rise.
I love Mahershala in Luke Cage (pretty much the only good part of it honestly) and him as Remi in House of Cards but I can't see him being like the cartoon Stewart, which is the only version I know and whom I'd love to see a movie of. Mahershala doesn't seem to have the imposing nature of Stewart's physique, like I can't see this guy fighting he looks more like a schemer which was exactly his role in Luke Cage.
