Is Justin Timberlake the Green Lantern?
I’m going to confess that I’m a big comic book fan. Laugh all you want but it’s true. Anyway, it is with some trepidation that I write that Justin Timberlake is in consideration to play the Green Lantern. The Green Lantern is a DC superhero with a magical, alien ring that gives him super human abilities. He’s pretty awesome. Nothing’s confirmed. All that’s been told is that JT has done a screen test, meaning producers are sizing him up and seeing how he would look on screen and in a costume. While that’s not a confirmation, it’s a pretty good sign that he’s under serious consideration. But, again, this is still a lot of rumor. I don’t know how I’d feel about JT playing Hal Jordan (the Green Lantern’s alter-ego). Sure he’s a pop star but he’s also got some fairly solid acting chops and, under the right direction, could really bring life to the character.
