Next 'Green Lantern' Movie Could Star Tom Cruise, Bradley Cooper or...Ryan Reynolds Again?

We're more than three years away from DC's Green Lantern Corps, so get ready for a lonnnng stretch of rumors, news, teasers and Pop! Dolls. Today's story, via "multiple people with knowledge of the project" chatting with The Wrap, is intriguing: Tom Cruise, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joel McHale, Bradley Cooper and Armie Hammer are reportedly on the shortlist for Hal Jordan, a.k.a. Green Lantern himself.

Oh, and.Ryan Reynolds. Which has us questioning this whole thing, because he's already Marvel's Deadpool, and he trashed 2011's poorly received, CGI-littred Green Lantern plenty in the lead-up to his 2016 debut as the much more foul-mouthed antihero.
