7 Actors Who Should Appear In Upcoming Comic Book Movies

After months of speculation, Marvel and DC have finally unveiled the specifics of their vast release schedule. The combined plans of both companies will flood cinemas with new comic book movies every year for the foreseeable future, possibly until the end of time itself. While this is yet to be confirmed, what we do know is that comic book fans are now living through a golden age of cinema, where properties as varied as Shazam, Doctor Strange and The Inhumans are all now setting their sights on the box office alongside their more iconic counterparts.

After Ryan Reynolds received an overwhelmingly negative response for his role in Green Lantern, few expected the character to appear on the big screen any time soon, but the bigwigs at DC had other plans, announcing recently that the hero would be rebooted as part of the company’s new cinematic universe.

Back when the original movie was first being cast, rumors put Chris Pine in the running for the role of Hal Jordan, but we all know how that turned out. In the years since, Pine has become an even more bankable actor, starring in both the Star Trek and Jack Ryan franchises, proving that he’s more than capable of taking on leading man status. Pine has the look and the attitude needed to make Jordan a cocky, but still likable character.

DC haven’t confirmed which character will actually be wearing the ring yet in the Green Lantern reboot, but if Warner Bros. are willing to give Hal Jordan another chance, Chris Pine could soon star alongside Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill in the upcoming Justice League movies.

Tell us, do you think any of these casting choices could actually become a reality? And can you think of any actors better suited to these roles? Sound off in the comments section below!
