Warner Bros. Pictures has hired X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Proposal star Ryan Reynolds to play the title role in the anticipated Green Lantern, scheduled for a June 17, 2011 release.

Based on the DC Comics hero, the action-adventure will be directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, GoldenEye) and produced by Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti. Berlanti wrote the script with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green.

The Hollywood trades say that Reynolds and his camp entered negotiations for the part Friday, after the studio held two rounds of screen tests, along with actors Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto. Justin Timberlake also did a screen test. The studio had holding options on the actors, but, except for Reynolds, those expired Monday. Reynolds' option would have expired end of day Friday.

Production is expected to begin in January.

Isn't he also supposed to be in another X-Men Origins movie?

I think they'd have been better off with Bradley Cooper.  He's hot now after "The Hangover".

Well, I like the choice and yeah, he's supposed to be playing Deadpool in a spin-off movie. Cooper is fine but there's something about Reynolds.

Dang it. I suppose we'll be getting this instead of Wonder Woman. Ryan Reynolds is an oddly young choice for Hal Jordan.
