Jamie Dornan finally has a chance to shed his ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ Stigma and Christian Grey image with a new Green Lantern movie role. There are several reports that say the Irish-born actor is looking to nab a role in the upcoming Green Lantern movie. Jamie became a household name thanks to his role as Christian Grey in ’Fifty Shades of Grey,’ and the upcoming ’Fifty Shades Darker,’ which is set to be released on Valentine’s Day next year.
Reports indicate that Jamie Dornan is being tipped to play Hal Jordan. Both he and fellow Hollywood actor Zack Snyder are up for the role. If he does indeed win the role, it would be Jamie’s first in a major superhero blockbuster film. The role was last played by actor Ryan Reynolds back in 2011. Because of the film’s negative reviews, Warner Bros. canceled their plans for a sequel, and instead opted to reboot the character for the DC Extended Universe franchise.
Jamie Dornan has made it no secret that he wants to become an A-list start in the entertainment industry. Even though ’Fifty Shades of Grey’ has helped make Jamie Dornan the household name that he is today, he is desperate to move past it. In fact, sources say that he only signed on to play Christian Grey in hopes that it will give him the exposure he needs so he can take part in bigger and better projects.
After all, the last thing he wants is people remembering him as a character who is sex-addicted narcissist. That’s why he’s doing whatever it takes to win roles like Hal Jordan.
In fact, sources close to the actor say Jamie Dornan would love for the public to stop associating him with the ’Fifty Shades of Grey’ franchise. Of course, joining The Justice League is just one way to do it. That’s why Jamie is hoping he’ll win the lead role in the upcoming ‘Green Lantern’ movie as it will give him an opportunity to show fans that he’s more than just Christian Grey.
Of course, Jamie Dornan has not made any comments about the report yet. What do you think?
