While The Wrap cited a source close to production for how they got a hold of the shortlist, Hammer is now casting some doubt over their intel. Speaking at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, which is currently underway, the actor said that when he saw the news break online earlier in the week, it was the first he’d heard of it..
The Wrap isn’t the only outlet who was told about Hammer’s involvement, as other source confirmed it as well. Not only that, but The Lone Ranger star has been linked to the DC Extended Universe for a very long time now and this is hardly the first occasion where his name has come up in relation to a superhero role. Plus, there’s also the fact that in Hollywood, when you’re under consideration for a high profile project such as this, the unwritten rule is that you’re not supposed to talk about it. Of course, it might also be possible that Warner Bros. hasn’t actually formally approached the actor yet about the part. Even though he’s on the shortlist, the studio may still be mulling over their options and not reaching out to the individuals on the list until they’ve had more time to think things over.
All things considered, we’d say that there’s a pretty good chance Hammer is being eyed for Green Lantern Corps and he’s just playing dumb here – as actors tend to do in these situations. Whether or not he’ll ultimately land the role of Hal Jordan is another matter entirely, but we certainly wouldn’t be upset if he did.
