In case you haven't heard, Ryan Reynolds has been cast as Hal Jordan in the upcoming Green Lantern movie to be directed by Martin Campbell and written by Marc Guggenheim. He beat out finalists Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake.

Thoughts, comments, picture for legality?


Silence, Gar! Never interrupt a Dick-hug until it has reached full maturation!

Garfield Logan; professional cock blocker.

Nothing can cock-block Kory. Nothing.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Judging by the hug, he's too late for cockblocking.

[hyperactivator.insanejournal.com]

At least it's not Timberlake. And hey he'll be scared up for Deadpool anyway.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Thank God I read Justine Timberlake had been considered. I ain't buyin' that...

The Return of Deadpanpool

I hate Reynolds, but I've only ever seen him as "Deadpool"

Is he actually a good actor or is my beloved Hal doomed to critical mockery?

I've always liked the guy and from what I've seen..He's a pretty good actor and all around good guy..Now he's playing two of my favorite funny book characters.

Reynolds actually is a pretty good actor. It's the Wolverine movie that sucked donkey balls.

He's actually a pretty good actor and I like his type of humor.

Also, he's married to Scarlett Johansson. And that is a MAJOR plus in my book!

Ryan Reynolds is literally the only reason why I would ever go see a Green Lantern Hal Jordan movie.
Somebody up there either loves me or hates me, and I absolutely can not tell which it is.

[goodbye_horses.insanejournal.com]

Ditto x 1000 to everything you said.

This.

He was the best thing in Blade Trinity, believe that.

Hell yeah! I always fast forward through that movie until his scenes come up.. and then hit pause once he's chained down in that dungeon. Hoo..boy. :D

*fans self *

Whooo, tell it. Tell. It.

*looks at icon* Wow, Neil Patrick Harris is awfully muscular, isn't he. And the sword gives him a nerdy Conan vibe.

[ian_karkull.insanejournal.com]

Dude is hella fine. Though "nerdy" isn't exactly the first thing that popped into my head seeing that huge phallus sword, especially considering NPH is stark naked in that scene.. :D

[scottyquick.insanejournal.com]

Mootto

[kagome654.insanejournal.com]

I anticipate many shirtless Hal scenes...and I approve.

[kenn_el.insanejournal.com]

Indeed! Actually, Ryan could fill the suit quite nicely AND look good as a test pilot! Cannot wait to see him smirk at the Guardians! Now who to play Carol?

[kagome654.insanejournal.com]

Now who to play Carol?

If dreams came true? Me. Though I'd be satisfied with any mature and strong actress (a curse on those who suggest Megan Fox!).

[aaron_bourque.insanejournal.com]

Now who to play Carol?

Jennifer Connelly?

[filbypott.insanejournal.com]

It could work. To be honest, though, I'd hoped they'd follow through on the rumors that he'd play Wally West in the Flash movie that never happened.

[darklorelei.insanejournal.com]

Now THAT I could see.

[seriousfic.insanejournal.com]

Now that that won't work out, I'm pulling for Michael Rosenbaum to get the part.

[jasper_stars.insanejournal.com]

I would have preferred Bradley Cooper, as he definitely reminds me of Hal, but at least we're not having Justin Timberlake.

[kd_the_movie.insanejournal.com]

Motto. Cooper imo would pull off the arrogant swagger of Jordan better than Reynolds would.

[ashez2ashes.insanejournal.com]

WTF is he DOING?? He's supposed to be making a Deadpool movie!

And fuck, that was supposed to be Nathan Fillion's role...

[ashez2ashes.insanejournal.com]

I'm aware Fillion wasn't even a canidate for the role. It's just my pipe dream. But damn... the longer a Deadpool movie doesn't happen the least likely it will be made at all. :(

Well both are set for a 2011 release date it seems. What baffles me more is...this guy's going to be working for both marvel's and DC's films at once?!?!?! Can that possibly end well?

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

I can see that.

[jedd_the_jedi.insanejournal.com]

This man gets to play two comic book characters and is married to Scarlett Johannson. There is no justice in the world.

[seriousfic.insanejournal.com]

That's what you think, but in a past life, Ryan Reynolds was Gandhi.

[jedd_the_jedi.insanejournal.com]

Ah, now it all makes sense. Bless you, Ryan Reynolds!

[aaron_bourque.insanejournal.com]

Actually, he's a pretty cool dude. I like to think karma isn't selective.

[aaron_bourque.insanejournal.com]

I would've preferred Cooper, but Reynolds does have the "all-american" look that Hal embodied.

Really glad it wasn't Timberlake. I don't think I could have taken the fandom bitching.

[erlgirl_9.insanejournal.com]

Reynolds does have the "all-american" look

Ironic, because Reynolds is Canadian :P
