10 DC Heroes Who Deserve Movie Deals (And Who Should Play Them)

6. Green Arrow - Liam Hemsworth

The CW€™s Arrow TV series has proven that there are modern ways to tell stories about the Green Arrow (real name Oliver Queen). The show has presented DC Comics€™ premiere archery-based superhero as a gritty street-level vigilante with a dark past and a mostly-grumpy personality to match. Based on the success of this series, and the enduring popularity of the comic book character, it€™s only a matter of time until DC try to incorporate the Green Arrow into their movie universe. Whether he becomes the star of his own standalone series, or takes an ensemble-movies-only role like Jeremy Renner€™s Hawkeye on the Marvel side of the fence, you can guarantee that we€™ll see Oliver Queen on the big screen eventually. Liam Hemsworth seems like the perfect choice for the role. Like his brother Thor, Liam Hemsworth has the square-jawed good looks necessary to tackle an alpha male superhero like this. He€™s also proven in the Hunger Games franchise that he can flit between brooding and romance with ease, which is a handy skill for a cinematic superhero to have. Liam Hemsworth is only 26 years old, as well, which would allow Warner Bros to squeeze plenty of movies out of him, in the event of his Oliver Queen becoming popular with audiences.
