The actor stated that he never talked to Snyder about portraying the role of Green Lantern. However, Hunnam further continued that he did not even like the role himself when he saw an image of the character in one of the DC comics!
I honestly don’t remember who yeah. It was some people in suits, brought the idea to me and thought that would be terribly exciting for me to play Green Arrow. And I did not share their enthusiasm.
He further continued,
I don’t know who Green Arrow is. So, I don’t want to offend anyone. I just looked at one picture, and I was like, I’m not sure green’s my color. And I am pretty sure spandex isn’t my material. And beyond that, I was like, one image, thanks.
After Snyder left DCEU, Charlie Hunnam joined theRebel Moonfranchise in the role of Kai. The Talk Away The Dark campaign by AFSP is one step forward for breaking the mental health stereotype, of which Zack Snyder and Hunnam are proud members!
