Columbus Short Turns Down Role of Green Lantern in Justice League

Add one more actor to the list of those who have been considered for a role in George Miller's Justice League of America. Chroeographer-turned-actor Columbus Short (Stomp the Yard) told MTV News that he was up for the role of Green Lantern in the film about DC Comic's premiere superhero team.

Shockingly, although he may have been considered for the role, he has apparently already turned it down. "Justice League of America is going to be dope, it's going to be huge," Short said, "But it's not the movie for me."

Short said that he ultimately decided the script was too much popcorn for his taste."I think there comes a point in an actor's career when he decides what type of actor you want to be, [Each actor] decides: I want to do commercial movies, but do I want to go this way? Or do I want to go that way?"

Justice League of America casting is still ongoing, with no actor being absolutely confirmed for any of the roles.

Justice League of America is in development .

    this is going to be very off movie. everything about it sounds terrible. the script and the actors and who could forget th director chosen for the film. yeah i agree the movie will be huge tho, a huge piece of crap and huge mistake to make and a huge waste of my time. scrap justice league and wait for a better date to make one and get someone who can direct this kind of film and not get someone who is going to make the film even more childish and moronic than Happy Feet

    This movie is going downhill already. They will probably go all CGI eventually. Either that or make it like the sh*tty Beowulf that's coming out soon. That should have been live action. Thank God, respectable actors are steering clear from this mess.
