After much ado, it appears that Mr. Scarlett Johansson will be taking the coveted role of The Green Lantern in the upcoming flick based on the DC Comics hero.
Reynolds and his camp entered negotiations for the part Friday, after the studio held two rounds of screen tests, along with actors Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto. Justin Timberlake also did a screen test.
The studio had holding options on the actors, but, except for Reynolds, those expired Monday. Reynolds’ option would have expired end of day Friday.
One reason for the long search was De Line, Campbell and the studio each had a different favorite among the finalists, making it difficult to come to a consensus.
Oooh, I definitely would have liked to see Bradley Cooper in this role. I’d like to see Bradley Cooper in any role. I didn’t really understand the fuss around him, and then I finally got around to seeing The Hangover last week — which I thought was funny, but not AS funny as everyone else seemed to find it — and now I’m completely in love with Bradley Cooper and I want to marry him. Did you guys know he used to be married to Jennifer Esposito, the chick from Spin City? I actually love her too. So I’ll feel a little guilty when Bradley and I get married, but I think I’ll get over it once we start consummating our marriage over and over and over again.
Anyway. Congrats, Ryan. You still bore me, though.
When I saw this I got excited because I thought he was going to be the green lantern in The Great Gatsby. I was like, ” How are they going to do that.” My AP English teacher would be so proud
zOMG such good news<3 Absolutely adore Ryan! But Jared Leto would’ve been an amazing choice. Jared is soooo talented.
wow. he looks really good here. yum.
I just can’t believe Scarlett Johansson snatched him up before any of us really knew that much about him. Bitch. ;)
I love Ryan!
Seth Rogan was up for that part too, I heard it was his motivation for losing all that weight, I’ll never see the movie so I don’t care either way. Wasn’t there something very odd about that marriage to Jen Espisito, they were married for a very brief amount of time, and got a really quick quiet dissolution?
No, Rogen is in The Green Hornet.
Easy mistake!
I love Ryan Reynolds – ever since 2 guys, a girl and a pizza place. He’s hilarious!! I highly recommend Just Friends for a Ryan Reynolds comedy showcase.
Thanks for clearing that up because I was very disappointed for Seth Rogan, lol.
