Reynold Goes Green With New Superhero Role

11 July 2009 7:41 AM, PDT

Ryan Reynolds has beaten off competition from Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper to play superhero the Green Lantern, according to industry reports.

Reynolds, fast becoming an action-hero following roles in the Blade trilogy and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, has been chosen to take on the comic creation, reports Daily Variety.

The Green Lantern tells the tale of a group of protagonists who can control the physical world with an all-powerful ring.

It will be the first time an actor has appeared in films by rival comic giants DC and Marvel.

Reynolds as Hal Jordan? Not my first pick. Maybe as Guy or G'Nort(lol) but not Hal. Ah well, he's still better then that Jack Black GL rumor that was around a few years ago. Wonder if they're going to keep the fighter jock/test pilot origin...

John Stewart > Hal Jordan.

Maybe get Richard Jones to play him. I really liked him as James Ellison in the Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Oooh, that's a good choice. Honestly, Hal is my least favorite out of the Green Lanterns... he's just boring.

Gah, he was my last choice of the 3.

Ditto. Four if you count Kyle Rayner, and five if you count Alan Scott, though Jordan's still at the bottom.

Honestly, Hal is my least favorite out of the Green Lanterns... he's just boring.

Ditto again. Jordan's the Green Lantern's powers on a stereotypical silver-age character.

If u had asked me before i got into DC properly, I would have said Kyle was my favourite. Then Geoff Johns started writing Green lantern, and now Im totally sold on Hal.

ryan Reynolds....eh. I wouldnt have picked him. but we'll see, I've been surprised before.

??? I meant last choice out of the actors, not last choice out of the various GLs.

Oh. My bad.

...You thought JT would have made a better GL than Ryan Reynolds? I mean, I'm not saying that Reynolds is a good choice for Hal Jordan, but (and this is coming from someone who wishes JT would just permanently join the S&L cast already, because I like him as an actor better than a singer) when I think of Hal Jordan I definitely do NOT think Justin Timberlake.

Heh, for an instant I read the thread title as 'Burt Reynolds is Green Lantern'.

That's... well, I guess that's better than Ryan Reynolds...

Hmmm, deadpool and green lantern? That's just weird, was really looking forward to deadpool too (FOX produced though, so how great could it be?). I am a Martin Campbell fan though, Goldeneye and Casino Royale were bad ass.

I hope they let him be funny. I love that guy.

QFE...he's awesome. Full range of acting skills...Goof off in Van Wilder & Waiting, Psycho Husband in Amityville Horror, Action hero in Blade & Wolverine...I think they scored a TD picking him for the role. Really looking forward to this movie...considering what Marvel is doing "so far" with Thor...

Costume's not bad, I like how they kept Hal's classic GL logo and not some of the more modern looking versions from the comics. His hair's too poofy for my taste though in that shot. Looks like a GL Mr. Kotter. :blink:

Damn I can't wait for this to come out. The cast looks amazing so far. Carol looks hot, and I think Angela Bassett will make an excellent Amanda Waller. They mention a possible trilogy, I hope it will follow Geof Johns run in GL. Which I highly recommend. It has been one of the best DC comics put out over the last several yrs.
