The latest big rumor surrounding who’s going to play Hal Jordan/GREEN LANTERN was Bradley Cooper. The info even made it sound like confirmation is just a matter of time, but the truth is nobody is locked in yet. Director Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) has yet to find his superhero. I just can’t see Bradley wearing the ring. He just doesn’t have that leading man charm, that name Cooper just doesn’t sound cool and like what Rama’s SCREEN reader moviebuff123 said, he’s more of a supporting actor..people would pay big bucks to see a movie depending on the star and I’m not sure audiences are willing to open their wallet for just one Bradley who?.

Latinoreview has heard another casting rumor, another possible candidate to play GREEN LANTERN. It’s the 25 year old actor Shawn Roberts. Not famous yet but he’s been in gigs like Diary of the Dead, the upcoming I Love You Beth Cooper and he’s actually in Martin Campbell‘s new thriller THE EDGE OF DARKNESS starring Mel Gibson.
Plus Roberts is way younger than Cooper. WB loves  young dudes.
The great El Mayimbe reported that “Roberts has auditioned for Campbell various times and has even taken a couple of meetings with Campbell concerning the Hal Jordan role”

So who’s it going to be? This has become the toughest casting search next to THOR movie.
Let’s do a recap shall we?!, there’s..
David Boreanaz.. yay or nay?
Brian Austin Green.. yay or nay?
Ryan Gosling.. yay or nay?
Sam Worthington… yay or nay?
Bradley Cooper.. yay or nay?
Shawn Roberts… yay or nay?

Let’s just forget that Anton Yelchin silliness ever happened.
