Jon Hamm turned down playing DC's Green Lantern in 2011's box office dud but wishes to join the MCU in the present day.
has always been enthusiastic about playing a superhero but hasn’t joined either Marvel or DC yet. Over time, he has come close to portraying characters from both comic houses. But, despite wanting to play an MCU character, Marvel hasn’t found the right part for him yet.Ryan Reynolds found success with Deadpool movies, but before that, he also starred in 2011’s box office dud, Green Lantern. It seems he could have dodged the bullet if Jon Hamm had agreed to play DC’s Green Lantern instead.
“But I’ve pitched myself for a couple parts of the Marvel universe, I don’t want to say what exactly, but it was a part of a comic book that I really liked. I was like, ‘Are you going to do this story?’ And they were like, ‘Yeah, we’re actually thinking of that.’ I go, ‘Good. I should be the guy.’ So maybe it’ll work out.”
Hamm reportedly came close to playing Mister Sinister in the X-Men movies before their rights reverted to Marvel via the Disney-Fox merger. Now with multiple high-profile characters, including, Nova, and others, yet to be cast, fans will be interested to see if he gets to play any of those roles in the future.Vansh is an SEO Contributing Writer for ComingSoon.
