The Ghost Rider actor has been in discussions to play the villain alongside Seth Rogen's masked crime fighter since July.
Filming began on the superhero project last week, but Cage was said to still be in negotiations for his role.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 45-year-old was not able to reach a deal with Columbia Pictures and the studio is now thought to be looking for a new actor to play the villain in the Michael Gondry-directed film.
Earlier this week, Cage signed on to play a vigilante in thriller The Hungry Rabbit Jumps.
The Green Hornet will be released in cinemas on December 17, 2010.
