I don't think of Muse as being the type of band that could sell out.

They've always been a populist commercial stadium rock act.
I don't see how putting a few movie clips in one of their videos changes a thing.

As for Green Day they were putting out commercial pop songs even before they were signed to a major label. It's not as if their music has made any great changes since then that can't be attributed the the members of the band reaching middle age.
