Recent developments indicate that Josh Brolin has declined the opportunity to portray Green Lantern. Just last week, it was mentioned that Brolin, known for his performances as Thanos and Cable, as well as his memorable roles in the Dune films and No Country For Old Men, was approached for the part in DC's upcoming series titled 'Lanterns'. However, according to a report from American film publication The Hollywood Reporter, Brolin has opted out, joining Matthew McConaughey, who was also a contender. As per the latest information, the creators, led by James Gunn, are now considering Ewan McGregor in the part of Hal Jordan. At Gamereactor, we hope that DC and Warner will select an actor who isn’t yet reaching 60.

The Hollywood Reporter indicates that the actor has turned down the opportunity to star in Lanterns, which is based on the iconic superhero. Brolin was being considered for Hal Jordan, a character notably portrayed by Ryan Reynolds in the unsuccessful 2011 adaptation. Sources suggest that Brolin received the offer in late August and made his decision by the weekend that followed. Unfortunately, no further information regarding this development has been provided.

Who would you prefer to witness take on the role of Hal Jordan?
