'Green Lantern' New Actor Rumors: Chris Pine Tapped for Upcoming DC Comics Role?

Zack Snyder has slowly but surely been building his DC superhero cast and so far its been looking really strong, however fans have endlessly been speculating on who will be taking on the role as Green Lantern.

Latino Review's El Mayimbe has offered some fairly bold news in revealing that actor Chris Pine could be taking on the role, based on rumors he's heard from the studio.

In a recent Instagram post, the insider captions:

"HOT RUMOR! #GREENLANTERN UPDATE! The name I keep hearing & floating around, is Chris Pine for Hal Jordan. Yes, Captain Kirk. Again, this is still just a RUMOR hence UNCONFIRMED. Been hunting this one for a while so the search is still ongoing. How do you guys feel about it, IF again a big IF, it is indeed true?#HalJordan #JUSTICELEAGUE #DC #DCCU#batmanvsuperman #Warners."

While there is no confirmation, and Mayimbe has not revealed his sources, it is true that Pine was in the running to take on the role in 2011's 'Green Lantern' before it went to Ryan Reynolds.

There is still a lot of time between Snyder's 'Green Lantern' solo film or 'Justice League', and the director hasn't been shy about revealing the actors he plans to use in DC Cinematic Universe.
