2. Dacre Montgomery

This guy is a fan cast favourite for any comic book movie role. Dacre Montgomery, known for his roles in Stranger Things and the Power Rangers reboot, has the perfect blend of charisma and grit to bring Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, to life on the big screen. As one of the few heroes in the DC Universe without any superpowers, Green Arrow stands out for his resourcefulness, determination, and willingness to fight for the little guy.

In the comics, Green Arrow’s tone is often darker and more grounded than other DC heroes, dealing with themes of social justice, corruption, and personal struggle. Montgomery’s experience in playing complex and troubled characters makes him a perfect fit for this role, able to portray both the charm and the inner demons that make up Oliver Queen.

A solo Green Arrow film could explore the character’s past as a wealthy playboy turned vigilante, as well as his relationships with characters like Black Canary and Roy Harper. And as part of the Justice League, Green Arrow’s sharp wit and unconventional tactics could provide a unique dynamic to the team.

With his piercing blue eyes, chiseled jawline, and rugged looks, Montgomery also fits the comic book-accurate appearance of Oliver Queen. His physicality and athleticism would also allow him to pull off the impressive archery skills and acrobatics associated with the character.

All in all, Montgomery has the talent, looks, and attitude to bring Green Arrow to life in a way that’s both faithful to the comics and fresh for modern audiences. A solo Green Arrow film and a team-up with the Justice League would be an exciting addition to the DC movie universe, and with Montgomery in the lead, it would be a sure-fire hit.
