Green Lantern: Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan
Casting is always a tricky bastard to pin down. With the success of Marvel Comics movies, maybe it’s DC’s turn to earn some box office huzzahs by getting real actors to play their comic book legends. Coming soon is the Green Lantern movie and who did they finally get to play Hal Jordan? It used to be a three-way toss up between Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake, and Ryan Reynolds.
