Josh Brolin<\/strong> recently opened up about turning down the role of Hal Jordan in DC\u2019s Green Lantern series, Lanterns<\/strong>. In a new interview, he reflected on the decision, compared it to passing on Avatar, and shared which one was actually harder to pass on.<\/p>\n Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused<\/a> podcast, Josh Brolin was asked which project was harder to say no to between DC\u2019s Green Lantern series, Lanterns, and Avatar. The actor responded, \u201cJames Cameron,\u201d and revealed he was being considered for the role of Colonel Miles Quaritch, which Stephen Lang eventually played.<\/p>\n He further showed excitement for Lanterns, saying, \u201cI heard Green Lantern\u2026 I know it\u2019s Kyle Chandler and Paula Patton, who I did a pilot with\u2026 I\u2019m super excited to see it\u2026 I can\u2019t wait to see it, because I love Kyle Chandler, I think he\u2019s solid. He\u2019s fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n DC Studios approached several actors for Lanterns before casting Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan. While the actor mentioned Paula Patton as part of the project, no official casting announcement has confirmed her involvement. DC Studios has not released additional details about her potential role, but speculation points to a possible casting as Carol Ferris.<\/p>\n During the interview, Brolin also addressed<\/a> his past and future with Marvel, expressing his willingness to return as Thanos. \u201cIf they called me in London right now, and said, \u2018Let\u2019s do this,\u2019 I\u2019d be like, \u2018I\u2019ll be there tomorrow,\u2019\u201d he said. The actor recalled Marvel\u2019s secrecy during production and how the Thanos role expanded beyond the initial cameo pitch. \u201cIt turned into this whole thing,\u201d Brolin added.<\/p>\n He clarified that his experience on Deadpool 2 as Cable was less fulfilling, stating, \u201cI was glad it was one experience.\u201d His remarks have fueled speculation that he is unlikely to return as Cable in the reported X-Force movie.<\/p>\n Although Lanterns is part of James Gunn and Peter Safran\u2019s DC Universe slate, Brolin appears more interested in continuing his collaboration with the Russo Brothers on potential future MCU projects like Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Josh Brolin Is Happy To Turn Down Lanterns but Not This Movie<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Josh Brolin recently opened up about turning down the role of Hal Jordan in DC\u2019s Green Lantern series, Lanterns.
