It seems Josh Brolin passes on the Hal Jordan role within the upcoming Lanterns series on Max. The DCU role was offered to Brolin, and we covered that story as it hit. However, according to a report by THR, Brolin has passed on the offer and the role is therefore still up for grabs.
Here is what the trade reported;
‘Josh Brolin will not be wearing the ring, after all.’
‘The actor has passed on an offer to star in Lanterns, the DC Studios series based on the Green Lanterns superhero character, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.’
‘Brolin was eyed to play Hal Jordan, the cocky Green Lantern hero previously played by Ryan Reynolds in the ill-fated 2011 Green Lantern movie. According to multiple sources, the actor received on offer at the end of August. By the end of this past weekend, his mind was made up. No other details were available.’
One of the other names that had been brought up at the time was Matthew McConaughey. However, THR says it won’t be him wearing the ring either.

‘Speculation also arose around several other A-listers, but it’s unclear how valid those rumors are. Matthew McConaughey, for example, will not be donning the ring, according to sources.’
Another name out there at the time was Ewan McGregor, but perhaps we shall have to wait and see how this pans out now. My guess is that this piece of casting will happen sooner rather than later.
