Although fans of the Justice League may have been discouraged earlier this week after Christopher Nolan expressed his concerns with the proposed movie, newly surfaced rumors concerning "Justice League of America" have given fans new hope. The movie has yet to be made official, but it looks like Charlie Hunnam of "Pacific Rim" could play the role of Flash.
Warner Bros. President Jeff Robinov has mentioned that the Justice League movie has been brought into discussion, but there are still many kinks that need to be worked out. It's been hinted that Henry Cavill would reprise his role as Superman, but new actors will likely be cast for the other characters. There's a slim chance that Christian Bale will return as Batman, however Nolan says it could compromise the continuity of his Batman saga. It's also been rumored that Ryan Reynolds could return as the Green Lantern, but as of now, nothing has been confirmed, not even the movie. Sigh.
Warner Bros. is very pleased with Hunnam's "Pacific Rim," which is directed by Guillermo Del Toro and will be released this summer. Hunnam and Del Toro got along swimmingly, and the director has already cast Hunnam for a role in his next movie "Crimson Peak" (can we get more cliché on these movie titles?). Oh, and in case you didn't know, Del Toro is set to direct the "Justice League" movie, so Hunnam's chances are looking pretty good.
According to CHUD.com, Warner Bros. has already developed conceptual art for the Flash with Hunnam in mind, however, fans have yet to see any hard proof. Regardless, all signs point to Hunnam's role in the Justice League. Hopefully Warner Bros. and Nolan can come to an agreement concerning Batman's role in "Justice League of America" and potential production can move forward. In the meantime, we can look forward to this summer's superhero blockbuster, "Man of Steel." After all, Cavill's Superman could also appear in the Justice League movie, if it ever happens that is.
