Another actor is rumored to join "Justice League". After DC Entertainment president Geoff Johns followed Armie Hammer on Twitter, fans have speculated that "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." actor will take the role of Green Lantern, which was previously reported to appear "in a key sequence" in the superhero team-up movie.
As pointed out by Cosmic Book News, Joe Manganiello, who will portray the formidable Deathstroke in Ben Affleck's "The Batman", also followed Hammer on the social media. It's unclear whether the 30-year-old actor will appear in "Batman" solo movie or "Justice League" should he take the role of Green Lantern.

It's not the first time that a certain actor was rumored to join DC movies. Monty Python star John Cleese was recently said to take an unspecified role in the DCEU after he was followed by "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and DC Films photographer Clay Enos on the same social media.
"Justice League" follows Affleck's Caped Crusader who enlists the help of his newfound ally, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, to face an even greater enemy after he is fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's [Henry Cavill] selfless act. Together, they work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat.
Coming to U.S. theaters on November 17, 2017, the DC movie also sees the return of Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Joining the cast are J.K. Simmons, Willem Dafoe, Amber Heard and Kiersey Clemons, who will play Gordon, Vulko, Mera and Iris West respectively.
