MTV is reporting that Columbus Short has turned down the role of Green Lantern in the upcoming Justice League film. A former choreographer for artists such as Britney Spears, Short has been building his acting resume with roles in films such as Accepted and Stomp The Yard, as well as a recurring role on the short-lived NBC drama, Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip. Other actors being considered for the role of GL include rappers Common and TI (both appear as father and son in the upcoming Denzel Washington/Russell Crowe drama American Gangster), as well as Tyrese Gibson (Transformers, Waist Deep).

“‘Justice League’ is going to be dope, it’s going to be huge. But it’s not the movie for me.”

Short is the second actor to turn down a role in the George Miller-helmed superhero film, following Jessica Biel, who had been in talks to star as Wonder Woman.

While the search for Justice League’s Green Lantern continues, Warner Bros. has tapped TV writer/producer Greg Berlanti to direct a solo Green Lantern film, according to Variety.
