News on the Green Lantern front has been a little quiet with all the Holiday buzz, but word comes from a fairly reliable source that there are five different actresses all lined up to take on the role of Hal Jordan’s girlfriend Carol Ferris.
El Mayimbe at Latino Review posted a list of five women who are in the running to play Hal Jordan’s girlfriend in the upcoming Green Lantern movie… and it’s pretty much the list you would come up with when listing all eligible 30-something actresses who come for relatively cheap.
The source seems solid, but lets review (and gawk at pictures of their hawtness)
|
#1 – Eva Green Eva has a haunting beauty, and even despite those almost droopy eyes, I can’t stop looking at her. Yes, she’s distracting like any superhero’s girlfriend should be – but is she a fit? This sexpot just oozes presence on screen. |
|
#2 – Keri Russell Keri has that very “girl next door” look down. Genuinely appealing, sweet and innocent with a tiny bit of a rough edge that says “I might be cute, but don’t break my heart” The very thing you might want from a sweet and approachable girlfriend figure for a superhero. Something to ground him to reality. A “real” girl to remind him of a real world. |
|
#3 – Diane Kruger From the follicking briany adventurer, to Helen of Troy, she has had her share of roles that don’t allow you to put her in a box and categorize her. She could play just about any archetype from vixen arm candy to shy sweetheart. |
|
#4 – Blake Lively This strikes me as far too young. Another unique beauty, this Gossip Girl might be trying to break out of the small screen (her previous attempts have been more or less unnoticed) but despite her “too mature for an 18 year old” personality on Gossip Girl, I still think Blake Lively is far too young to pair off with Reynolds. I just don’t see it. |
|
#5 – Jennifer Garner Garner is a hottie for sure, the right age to match up with Reynolds, and she has enough sass to keep up with Hal Jordan’s thrilling career choice. A strong bold girlfriend to continually challenge and support Hal might be just what the daredevil needs… (see what I did there?) |
So all in all, I could be happy with 4 out of the 5 above. I just don’t see Lively keeping up with the pack here. But it all depends on just what kind of portrayal of Carol Ferris they go with.
I just hope they dont have her taking on the Star Sapphire persona as a potential villain for GL.
Now this could all just be wild speculation. But if this was the short list, how would you like to see it go down?
