Justin Timberlake Not Considered for Green Lantern Role
by admin in Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Reynolds, Scarlett Johansson
This time fans will not see Justin Timberlake in the upcoming Green Lantern flick.
Despite a report in Hollywood Reporter that claimed the singer was in the running for the lead role in the DC Comics adaptation, he didn’t make it through preliminary screen tests.
Instead, Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto are the three finalists for the part.
And the three actors being considered have something besides the potential part in common.
It is also said that… the character of Hal Jordan — a role producers have been looking to fill for five months — will likely go to Ryan Reynolds.
"Ryan Reynolds is going to be cast," the source says. "He’s as good as got the job. They are literally just waiting to sign contracts and get all the final details tied up, but the role is his."
A spokesperson for Timberlake had no comment.
Green Lantern is scheduled to hit theaters in June 2011
