The superhero comedy stars Seth Rogen as Britt Reid, a bored playboy who becomes a masked crimefighter when he inherits his father's crusading newspaper.
According to a blogger at the Los Angeles Times, at least two industry sources have confirmed The Wedding Singer star's involvement.
"Adam Sandler has a brief but key role in the movie as a certain surprise superhero," he wrote. "I heard which one, too, but I don't want to ruin it."
Sandler and Rogen are currently working together on Judd Apatow's Funny People.
Earlier this week, Rogen denied reports that Hornet had been axed, saying: "[The studio heads] have every intention on making it, and assuming we're able to hire a new director in the upcoming weeks, which seems like a distinct possibility, it should still hit the release date."
The Green Hornet is scheduled for release on June 25, 2010.
