Is Ryan Gosling the Green Lantern?
The amazingly accurate Latino Review is reporting that Warner Bros. wants Ryan Gosling to be their Hal Jordan. Let the fanboy revolt commence. Gosling doesn’t look like the guy you’d cast as the Green Lantern, but he fits Warner’s grand vision for their superhero franchises. He’s a deeply emotional actor, whose turn in Half Nelson established him as one of the best actors of his generation. And remember, the last time Warner made this bold a choice, they cast Heath Ledger as the Joker.
A Gosling Lantern shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has followed the project, though. The film was going to go in a slightly different direction after Greg Berlanti (Everwood, Brothers & Sisters) was brought on to direct. With Gosling under the direction of Berlanti, The Green Lantern may be the first superhero movie designed to make you cry.
Stay tuned for a release date if the Gosling rumor pans out.
