Warner Bros.' expansive DC Extended Universe (DCEU) is just getting started, with the studio ready to unveilWonder Womanin just a few weeks. Many are already looking far ahead to the future, with some fans wondering whether or not there will ever be aGreen Arrow movie. There has been no official indication of that happening quite yet. If it does come together, though, it seems they could already have a leading man lined up, with Charlie Hunnam expressing some interesting in playing Oliver Queen. This is quite a contrast to just a few months ago, where the actor revealed in another interview, while promotingThe Lost City of Z, that he has no interest in superhero movies. Here’s what the actor had to say in that March interview.
“I didn’t grow up a comic book fan and I haven’t really seen any of those Marvel films or the Batman films. It’s just not really my taste. I must confess I don’t even really know who theGreen Arrowis. It’s not part of my vision for my career or what I aspire to.”
A new interview segment surfaced on Twitter, when the actor was promotingKing Arthur: Legend of the Sword, where he seemed much more open to the idea. Like in the earlier interview, the actor admitted that he doesn’t know who thisDC superherois, before asking why fans want him to play this character so much, and if he looks like Oliver Queen. The interviewer added that the actor does in fact look like Oliver Queen, as portrayed in the comics, while informing the actor that there is anArrowTV series that presents a different take on the comics, but the original character looks a lot like the actor. It seemed by the end of this interview,Charlie Hunnamwas actually on board to play Oliver Queen. Here’s what he had to say.
“Well, come on DC. What’s up? Give me a call, I’m here.”
It’s possible thatCharlie Hunnammay have just been humoring the interviewer, but even if he was serious about playing Oliver Queen, Warner Bros. hasn’t officially announced that aGreen Arrowmovie is actually happening. With theArrowTV series currently thriving at The CW, heading into its sixth season, it remains unclear if Warner Bros. wants to make a new big screen version of this character, although they are bringing a different version ofThe Flashto theaters, starring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, and theDeathstrokecharacter will also make his DCEU debut inJustice LeagueandThe Batman, played by Joe Manganiello. Manu Bennett previously played Deathstroke onArrow.
It’s possible that Warner Bros. could potentially introduce their big screen version ofGreen ArrowinJustice League Part 2, which is set for release on August 02, 2025. The DCEU hasn’t exactly gotten off to a great start, with critics and fans alike bashingBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squad, although it’s possible that next month’sWonder Womancould get this superhero slate back on the right track. Still, it’s also possible that adjustments may have to be made, which could lead to aGreen Arrowmovie that may or may not starCharlie Hunnam. Take a look at the actor’s video interview below, where he discusses the possibility of playingGreen Arrow.
