They chose Reynolds.http://www.mania.com/ryan-reynolds-green-lantern_article_116221.html
Reynolds has already played 2 different characters in the same universe.. He was in Blade Trinity (teh sucky one) and Wolverine Origins. And let's not forget his absolutely scrumptilicious wife Scarlett Johansen is the Black Widow in Iron Man 2.Movie has a great director, Martin Campbell (he did Vertical Limit, Goldeneye, Casino Royale etc).Reynolds may have won because he was probably the most proven big screen actor of the lot, and he's also a proven comic book nut, i do not mind seeing him as Green Lantern.ORIGINAL TITLE OF THREAD MODIFIED
