NFL's Ahman Green: I Got Cut From 'Batman v Superman' ... For Now

Former NFL running back Ahman Green has been cut again ... this time it's from the upcoming 'Batman v Superman' blockbuster ... but don't fear, you could still see the Packers great on-screen.

Green is a huge DC comics fan and 'BvS' director Zach Snyder is a huge Packers fan so when Green hit him up and asked for a spot in the movie ... all things were a go.

Ahman shot his scenes as "Thug No. 2" a few months ago but he tells TMZ Sports his hopes were crushed recently when he got a fateful call from a honcho on the film.

"It’s all a part of Hollywood, but I got a call from the casting director explaining that my scene was cut from the theatrical release of the movie."

All bad right? Not so much ... Green tells us he will still indeed make an appearance in the movie (kinda) ... and actually hopes to make a return to the series in the future.

"I’ll still be in the Director’s Cut when that comes out ... I have a good relationship with Zack Snyder, so we’ll definitely stay in touch for future releases like 'Justice League.'”
