Josh Brolin has been in a bunch of comic book based movies. Besides Thanos, Jonah Hex and Cable, he was title character in Oldboy, K in MIB 3, and Dwight in Sin City 2.

[DMKelly]

Pine and Olyphant are my two top picks (Pine has been my top pick, but I’m starting to like the idea of Olyphant more and more). I’d be perfectly happy with either one as an older Hal Jordan.

[OldManLogicPBX]

Chris Pine got my vote! I was trying to think a little outside of the Duhamel, Thomas Jane, or Bradley Cooper. John Stewart should be Aaron Pierre or Stephen James. thoughts?

[djwilliams]

Chris Pine or John Krasinski as Hal Jordan. Jay Ellis as John Stewart, Walton Goggins as Sinestro...

[ScarletPhantom-gvrg]

Chris Pine should be Hal Jordan John Boyega or Michael B Jordan for John Stewart. Luke Evans needs to be Sinestro. Matthew Mcconaughey should be Two-Face. Jon Hamm should be Mr. Sinister

[MarkStark-dxdm]

I completely understand him. I would not want to play yet another superhero role.

[gloriathomas]

Josh Brolin irobably wants to concentrate on his feature film roles rather than TV.

BTW I would cry if Matthew McConaughey started doing superhero movies or TV shows. His talent should not be wasted on them

[ericwaldron]

Looks like Chris Pine. He'd do a good job.

[hassangbolahan]

I think they are also looking for someone with a big stature for hal

[JesseVBuddyTV]

I think most couldn’t see him in that role. I’d say he’d be better for Sinestro funny enough

[vandeleonxto]

I'm not suprise if Pedro Pascal will be offer the role))

[devonleaston]

Am I the only one who was like c'mon don't be green lantern I think it's a force even if it ok to be multiple comic characters

[bloodredrobot]

Wasnt Ewan McGregor's name also thrown around

[JohnDoe-rhst]

Damn I really wanted Brolin to play him

[wickedjester]

My perferred role for him would be Bruce Wayne, but if that is not possible, I vote Jensen Ackles for Hal Jordan all day, everyday!!! Just saying!

[RodrigoMartinez-wpyk]

Chris pine is great pick. Here my pick I like, Leonardo DiCaprio and Glen Powell

[benm]

Like I said before I love Josh Brolin and think he kills it in everything he’s in, but I feel like he’s a little too intimidating to be Hal Jordan, his characters are always more grizzled and hard edged and that doesn’t seem right for Hal Jordan, I feel like you need to cast someone a little more charming and charismatic for the role, because Hal Jordan is supposed to be a cocky, wisecracking daredevil, and Josh Brolin, for as awesome as he is seems a little too hardcore for that role

As for who I would cast I have a pick, I don’t know how people are gonna take this because I have seen some people say he’s a little overexposed in the movie world but I honestly think he’d be a great choice, Glen Powell

[josephdeluca]

I hope they don’t make him the comic relief, that’s not who he is

[Superman.no]

If all cast of the DCU are young then for Hall Jordan to be this old, doest not make sens...

[DXDONMEGA]

Matthew McConaughey is not a good hire at all. Obviously he’s very talented but he is notHal Jordan. I would not dig that at all and I’m hearing the rumors and it scares me lol
