Speaking to MTV, Green Lantern director Martin Campbell dismissed rumours that Jackie Earl Haley was in line to portray the role.
"In fact, we're in negotiations with Mark Strong to play Sinestro," Campbell said.
He added: "If you look up old pictures of Sinestro, he's (Strong) very like him. The Jackie Earle Haley thing, somebody told me about it this morning; I had never heard it before in my life."
The helmer also offered a list of DC Comics characters that will appear in the superhero film, including Kilowag, Tomar-Re and Abin Sur.
Peter Sarsgaard is attached to star as villain Dr Hector Hammond.
