Justin Timberlake Playing Green Lantern?
Thursday, July 9th, 2009
News has been spreading like wildfire across the web that man who brought sexy back will also be playing Hal Jordan.
Now, the rumors say that Timberlake is currently in the screen testing process and is one of the main contenders for the role. Now, I know this sounds crazy at first, and there’s a small pocket of fanboys on hunger strike until Nathan Fillion gets cast, but the more I think about it, the more I like it. Timberlake is one of the few stars around that everyone likes. Girls like him for his looks and dance moves (Generally speaking) and the guy also has a lot of man-cred for his legendary work on Saturday Night Live. Plus, he was the only guy in Southland Tales that looked like he had his shit down. But, whoever gets the part, Director Martin Campbell and Warner Bros. have until the film’s September launch date to decide. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make the big announcement at Comic Con.
What do you guys think?

I’m having flashbacks to the Justin plays Anakin Skywalker rumors from 2000.
Mon dieu… the flaming… oh the flaming…
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the casting for Hal Jordan has been narrowed down to three people: Justin Timberlake, Ryan Reynolds, and Bradley Cooper. Personally, I would love it if Bradley Cooper got to do a big role like this. I’ve really liked the guy ever since I saw him in Alias.
I’ve only seen him act in Black Snake Moan and I thought he was alright in that but I haven’t seen him act enough to think he would be right for this role.
I want Ryan Reynolds to be Deadpool not Green Lantern
I didn’t think Bradley Cooper would be right for this role either till I saw him in Midnight Meat Train and saw the fight scene he was in at the end. The guy can handle action. Out of these three Bradley Cooper is my top choice. (though Nathan Fillion is my top choice overall)
I actually like Timberlake, despite not wanting to like him. But I think Cooper would be a much better Green Lantern.
