Armie Hammer happens to be a big fan-favorite pick for the DCEU with either Green Lantern or Captain Marvel (Shazam).
The actor was actually at one time attached to George Miller’s defunct Justice League movie back in 2008 as Batman, but the movie was cancelled before it had a chance to start filming.
Speculation that Armie Hammer might be involved in the DCEU started on Twitter, as fans noticed Armie Hammer and DCEU co-runner Geoff Johns started following each other; in addition, Joe Manganiello, who at the time was set to play Deathstroke in Ben Affleck’s Batman movie, started following Armie Hammer as well.
With Armie Hammer speculated for the DCEU, fans started guessing which character the 6’5″ actor could play. Green Lantern immediately sprang into a lot of fans’ mind as the character is rumored for the Justice League movie and will be appearing in the Green Lantern Corps film. With DC also developing a Shazam movie, Captain Marvel has been another pick amongst fans for Armie Hammer.
So fan art was created of the actor by online artists.
Now MTV recently caught up with Armie Hammer in the following video in order to get his reaction to fan art of himself as Green Lantern and Shazam.
“Oh, yeah. No. I don’t want to see that,” Armie Hammer laughed about the Green Lantern fan art.
When asked if the Captain Marvel Shazam art will make him feel any happier, Armie Hammer laughed and said, “I feel like that is something Freddie Mercury would wear.”
It was suggested that Armie Hammer looks pretty cool and could pull off playing Green Lantern, with Hammer replying, “Oh, boy. I think that whoever did that did a fantastic job.”
Armie Hammer also said he would be up to play any of the characters.
“Josh, I am a complete whore. I will work with anybody for anything. If you have a job for me, I’ll take it,” Armie Hammer joked.
For the record, Armie Hammer has also said on multiple occasions that he hasn’t received a call about being in the DCEU.
