Green Lantern 2020: 10 Actors Would Could Play Hal Jordan

5. Timothy Olyphant

Timothy Olyphant would make for a less comedic, more intense Green Lantern than any other actor on this list. His portrayal of Deputy Marshal Raylan Givens on the series Justified has shown that he has no problem playing a cowboy who is not afraid to buck the system (just like Hal Jordan). He also has a loyal fan base from his turn as the video-game inspired Hitman. His presence on the film would fill the theaters simply because of his reputation as a no-holds barred semi-vigilante on TV. While this would be a serious departure from the portrayal of Hal Jordan in the previous movie, Olyphant's presence could breathe new life (and dollars) into a possible mega-franchise.
