Since a Green Arrow movie would likely be set earlier in his career (pre-Mia and Connor), the casting would only really require Ollie and Dinah, maybe Lieutenant Cameron and Roy... possibly Shado.

I wouldn't mine Ewan McGregor as Ollie. He'd better have the beard though. Beardless Ollie is unacceptable. Generally, I'd rather not have them cast a huge name for Dinah. Reese Witherspoon is alright, but I'm not a fan.

Actually, one of the reasons Green Arrow will never work in a movie in a way that will please fans is because he and Dinah have always been older heroes since the Crisis. He's always been in his 40s and early 50s since Longbow Hunters. Any movie would likely cast a 20-something or early 30-something, and ignore any big story like Longbow Hunters as a basis for plot.

For example, the GA movie that is supposedly in production right now: 'Escape from Super Max' uses a non-canon prison, doesn't feature Black Canary, and is basically... well, it doesn't seem like a good idea.
