As noted by Comic Book, it isn’t clear if Charlie Hunnam was offered the Green Arrow role for Zack Snyder’s DCEU or for another DC project. Never having participated in the DCEU may have its advantages for Hunnam if he changes his mind about playing a DC hero, though, since few actors featured in Snyder’s superhero movies will reprise their roles in future projects after James Gunn and Peter Safran were hired to lead Warner Bros.’ new DC Film and TV Division.
If Hunnam does have a change of heart and DC’s new filmmaking duo decides to go green, there’s an abandoned Green Arrow script that seems to be perfect for Gunn’s DC reboot. Co-written by Justin Marks and Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight Trilogy” scribe David S. Goyer, the script is titled “Green Arrow: Escape from Super Max” and finds the Emerald Archer locked up behind bars for a murder he didn’t commit in a prison populated by supervillains.
Meanwhile, “Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire” marks Hunnam’s first collaboration with Snyder. In the movie, Hunnam plays Kai, a mercenary who joins forces with a warrior named Kora (Sofia Boutella) and her group of rebels on a distant moon who are fighting against the tyrannical ruler of a planet called the Motherworld.
