Warners and Campbell chose Reynolds, who vied for the superhero role along with “The Hangover” star Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto. The momentum built for Reynolds in the last week, as he was the only actor whose option was extended.

    meh…

    not my first choice but way better than it could have been – remember when the highly overrated jack black was going to be GL and it was going to be “comedy”

  3. Dol

    buh buh buh, that means the awesome Deadpool movie will be delayed!

    I dunno, we’ll have to see if Reynolds can pull of a decent Hal Jordan. Since they’ve spent a few years making the character in the comics really good.

  4. Energyone

    I can see it. Still wish this was about Kyle instead of Hal.

  5. Cerv

    Wade Wilson is the green lantern, that makes absolutely no sense at all……. if he is gonna be someone from DC is gonna be Deathstroke.

  6. Hadgi

    hmmmm, it could work..

  7. Ransom

    Because it’s not like the same person can play two different superhero roles.

    I will always have Nathan Fillion as my pick for Hal Jordan. The fan-made trailer was perfect casting. Oh well, I just wonder if they’ll get the go-ahead and finally make a Justice League film after everything is supposed to be made.

    @Ransom: Probably not the best example, I mean, I’ve literally NEVER heard anything good about Catwoman, and I really didn’t like Storm’s character much in any of the X-men movies (though I’ll have to admit that Storm likely was poorly written to begin with)

  11. Micah Benson

    Aww I think Jared Leto would have been cool

  12. Acedian

    This + Deadpool movie make me excited for superhero movies for the first time since Dark Knight

    …also hes hot :D

  13. Carl

    I’m a little torn on this. I like Ryan for certain types of roles, but I’m not sure Hal is one of them. But they could have made much, much worse choices, so I guess I’ll give him a chance and see how he does.

    /?

    Didn’t I see a trailer on this freaking page with Nathan Fillion in it???

  15. PaperEffigy

    He’s a better choice than Justin Timberlake. *shudders*

  16. Ian

    hrm…. He’s a good actor, so I’d think he’ll do a good job.
    On a side note: Up until now I’ve always thought the Green Lantern was black. Then I googled, and found myself sorely mistaked.. D=

  17. Lex

    @francke That trailer was fan made. It was pretty good though wasn’t it?

  18. Erich the Mad Bassist

    Hmm. Justin Timberlake – with Kevin Smith directing. You know it would be good.
    ::Laughs evilly::

  19. Francké

    Fanmade??? That stuf was the s#it. How on earth did they made a thing like that?

  20. Atlantis

    I think he’ll be better as the Flash.

  21. Nakoma

    *Sigh*

    One thought – Amazing. Bradley Cooper is too serious, and Jared Leto can’t act his way out of a paper bag. Even as popular as he is, Ryan Reynolds is still underrated.
