Charlie Hunnam Has No Interest in Playing Green Arrow – Or Any Other Superhero

There are (apparently) no plans to bring Green Arrow into the DC Extended Universe, but that hasn’t stopped fans from suggesting actors to play the character on film. The most frequently actor fancast for the role has been King Arthur: Legend of the Sword star Charlie Hunnam. However, these fans are bound to be disappointed by the actor’s comments on the idea.

Speaking with Yahoo! Movies (transcription via CBM), Hunnam reveals that he is uninterested in playing a superhero. Hell, he has no idea who the Green Arrow character is. “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 really know who the Green Arrow is. It’s not part of my vision for my career or what I aspire to.”

So, yeah, turns out Hunnam doesn’t care for the idea. Oh well. Besides, while we wait for Green Arrow to come to the big screen, there’s always Arrow, which is now in arguably its best season yet on The CW.

Who do you think should play Green Arrow in the DCEU?
