It looks as if Justin Timberlake is trying to display that his and Jessica Biel’s relationship is doing well. I do feel he seemed happier together with his ex – Cameron Diaz however.

Well, he’s better than Jack Black. I think he may have some acting ability, but he doesn’t seem to have the stature to be GL.

Then, you look at how Batman turned out with Michael Keaton…and Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr.

I’ll keep an open mind. Just start making the movie.

I agree with you danny. However, when it comes to the best super-hero movie, it’s not even a competition. THE DARK KNIGHT!!!

The best of the 3 is Ryan Reynolds, but he’s already Deadpool and a potential movie for that AND I read everywhere that he’s the top contender to play The Flash. He probably would have got the Batman gig too if Christian Bale wasn’t around.

Have to wait and see what they do.

Justin Timberlake??? Is this a joke!? Man, does Warner Bros even take this stuff seriously??? It’s going to turn out the same way Steel did with Shaq, It can’t be takin seriously. Please cast Cooper. Give this guy some action limelight with a hero role. Lets try avoiding these ‘N sync songs throughout the film…

Dammit Campbell why didn’t you just cast Timberlake as James Bond?

I’m fine with this. He’s not the worlds worst actor and I think he has a little more charisma than Bradley Cooper (who must have a fantastic agent). As long as it’s not some overlong boring ass origin movie then I’m ok with it. Just some dude in a suit doing crazy shit.

This is going to be an overlong overblown origin story isn’t it?

Another one.

If it makes enough money I’ll watch the sequel.

if I had to pick one from that lot it would definitely be Cooper..canÂ´t stand the other two..but it should be Nathan Fillion, IÂ´m just ashamed that I didnÂ´t think of him before the fan trailer..love Fillion..but I would be happy to see Brian Austin Green as Lanter also, he was awesome on TSCC

I’ve heard of some pretty odd casting choices over the years, a few have surprised me by being actually good (Iron Man for example, best superhero movie to date). But so far, JT as Green Lantern is the single stupidest one yet! He can’t act, period! He doesn’t even look the part, come on! Anyone else could do it so much better. If this goes through, I will not watch this movie, ever!
One more thing, Martin Campbell, have you even read a Green Lantern comic?

JT doesn’t seem like he could be gruff enough to be Hal Jordan. He might be an ok Guy Gardner though.

Am I the only comic fan who hopes they go for a Jordan/Stewart/Gardner/Rayner ensemble?

They really seem to be going fairly young for this role. I’ve never been a huge Hal Jordan fan, but I’ve always pictured him as much older then what they are looking to cast. Michael Keaton would fit my ideal more then any of these guys.

i’m not a green lantern guy by any means. more of a bat man guy. But even I think this is rediculous. You can’t cast Justin. Yeah he has the acting ability but put him in a few other movies with some bigger rolls before rolling out the red carpet to being the star in a comic action flick. I’d actually like to see bradley cooper as the GL. But I also agree with Cap N. If he gets it he probably earned it.

Ha ha. I’d better start bulking up now in case they hold another set of auditions. I’ve always needed an excuse to get motivated in developing washboard abs. I might be more suited to play a non-speaking henchman/servant role, though.
