Ryan Reynolds cast as Green Lantern
According to Reuters, Ryan Reynolds has been casted as Green Lantern.
If you’re unfamiliar with Reynolds, go see X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He’s Deadpool. Actually, go see Origins anyway, just for fun. He does a decent Deadpool and is getting a spinoff movie. Then he’s also Green Lantern? Others were up for the role: Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto, even Justin Timberlake. I gotta be honest I see all of those guys as Hal Jordan before I see Reynolds.
What do you think? Will he make a good Green Lantern? Will Ryan Reynolds really became “that guy who does the superhero movies”?
Elliot Stabler is the Green Lantern!

The above article includes an interview with Chris Meloni, or as I like to call him angry Elliot Stabler. You may also recognize his name from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle - yes, that was him!!
He sounds all excited about the prospect of voicing a superhero, “You become a kid again. I’m doing what my five-year-old son does in his bedroom. Only I get paid for it. That makes it even more fun.”
I think Meloni is a great choice. He’s got a strong voice but it isn’t too deep (think Batman) or too unsure (think Superman) or too high (think Spiderman).
Green Lantern is certainly getting a lot of attention. I read the beautifully illustrated and mythos heavy Sinestro Corps War. I was confused, it’s true, but enjoyed it none the less.
