Now actor Ryan Reynolds has won the title role in Warner Bros.' film adaptation of DC Comics' Green Lantern.
According to both Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, the 32 year-old Canadian beat out the likes of Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake and Jared Leto for the part of pilot-turned-cosmic hero Hal Jordan.
