Whether you know Jon Hamm best from him playing Don Draper in Mad Men or other projects like Baby Driver , Top Gun: Maverick , The Morning Show or Fargo , the man knows his way around various genres. One that he has yet yo contribute to, however, is the world of superheroes, though you certainly won’t have any trouble finding people fan casting him for upcoming Marvel movies and upcoming DC movies . That said, Hamm has now revealed a DC role he had no interest in doing, though I’m hoping he’s still game to join the forthcoming DC Universe franchise being spearheaded by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
In an extensive interview with THR , Hamm mentioned that he continues to have “conversations” with “the guys that run Marvel and DC,” and also clarified that those past talks weren’t anything along the lines of these executives wanting him to play Iron Man (though he did end up voicing that very character in the animated series M.O.D.
O.K. ).
He then said the following when interviewer Lacey Rose asked for confirmation that he’d passed on 2011’s Green Lantern : That was one I definitely didn’t want to do. Jon Hamm didn’t elaborate on why he turned down Green Lantern , but considering how the movie ended up being a critical and commercial disappointment, missing out on that superhero movie worked out for him. Even Ryan Reynolds , who ended up playing lead protagonist Hal Jordan, has poked fun at Green Lantern numerous times over the years.
Maybe Hamm just got a.
