Ryan Reynolds has been chosen over two other finalists for the role of Hal Jordan in "Green Lantern", as reported by Variety. This newest casting report came less than a day after he is listed alongside two other potential candidates for the lead role, Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper.
According to Variety, the deal is yet to be finalized since the actor's representatives are working out the deal for the project. The publication also mentioned that while Warners' holding options on Timberlake and Cooper's expired Monday, they extended their option on the Deadpool of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine".
Meanwhile, on Timberlake speculation, Us magazine claimed the 28-year-old singer is not among the top three finalists for the lead role. A source had informed the publication that the former NSYNC member did not even pass the preliminary screen tests for the role of the Green Lantern's alter ego. The mags further noted that instead of Timberlake, Jared Leto is the one in the mix for potential Green Lantern depicter.
"Green Lantern" is a superhero movie based on fictional character who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. Martin Campbell is set to direct the film which is scheduled to be released on June 17, 2011.

He is better suited to play wally west. Think of van wilder with powers and that's the flash.
I agree with the first poster, RR is suited to play the younger Kyle Rayner. There's absolutely no freakin way Van Wilder should get near a Hal Jordan Green Lantern. It'll be interesting to see who they have as Alan Scott.
While I like Ryan Reynolds and most of his film work, I think that he would be better suited if he was playing the role of the younger Green Lantern Kyle Rayner. The character of Hal Jordan is more of a mature role and Ryan seems more suited to the younger tastes.
He will be amazing! He definately has the body for it, and the acting skills as well.He can pull off drama and comedy very well. I have no doubt he was the best choice. I like Justin.....but as a super hero? no.
WAYYYYYY better then justin ...green lantern is my favorite and if he'd gottn the role i would of gotten pissed and not even watched it...but in all i think ryan would make a good green lantern
In the end it's all about having a good agent! The studios are always trying to go with what they think will be the most profitable. Ryan Reynolds may or may not be the right guy. Only time will see!
Not Ryan Reynolds! He'll have to do the best work he has ever done to substitute for fan-favorite Nathan Fillion (who apparently was never considered by the producers). See the amazing fan trailer for a hint at what an excellent GL Fillion would have made.
