Green Lantern Corps Movie: Everything You Need To Know

8. Apparently, The Studio Wants A Major Star

The Wrap recently reported that Tom Cruise, Joel McHale, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Armie Hammer and Jake Gyllenhaal are on DC Entertainment's wish-list for the role of Hal Jordan. That's a lot of star power on one list.

If The Wrap's report is accurate, it's particularly interesting that the studio are open to Ryan Reynolds reprising the role of Hal, the test pilot turned intergalactic hero he played in 2011.

Having seen the difference between X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Deadpool, they obviously know that Reynolds can resurrect a screen superhero with unprecedented success when given the material to do so. However, it's fairly doubtful that he'd be keen to attempt the trick for DC, unless that script really is special.

Bradley Cooper is an interesting choice after reportedly making it down to the final three for the part in 2011 (the other being Justin Timberlake who had cred post-The Social Network, but that has long since ran out).
