Ryan Reynolds, Tom Cruise, And Bradley Cooper Among Those Eyed For Hal Jordan In GREEN LANTERN CORPS
Six actors are on the shortlist to play Hal Jordan in Green Lantern Corps, and among them is Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds. Wait, what? Hit the jump to find out who else is being considered...
After returning to the A-List thanks to Deadpool, could Ryan Reynolds return to the role of Hal Jordan in 2020's Green Lantern Corps? According to The Wrap, he's one of six actors being considered and Warner Bros. is said to be considering bringing him back. However, the site points out that he's not in talks as of yet and neither are any of the other stars said to currently be on the studio's shortlist.
Other names being considered include Tom Cruise (The Mummy), Joel McHale (Community), Bradley Cooper (Guardians of the Galaxy), Armie Hammer (The Lone Ranger), and Jake Gyllenhaal (Southpaw). Casting is in the early stages, but with David Goyer and Justin Rhodes writing the screenplay, it makes sense that the studio is considering some actors for the role. Still, take this with a pinch of salt for now!
This isn't the most reliable source, and this reads more like a fan's wishlist than a legitimate list of names who are in serious contention. I mean, can you really see Reynolds returning to the role or Cruise - who will be nearly 60 by the time Green Lantern Corps is released - reciting the oath? Still, this makes for interesting reading and you can let us know who you would like to play Hal Jordan below.
