News on the Green Lantern front has been a little quiet with all the Holiday buzz, but word comes from a fairly reliable source that there are five different actresses all lined up to take on the role of Hal Jordan’s girlfriend Carol Ferris.
El Mayimbe at Latino Review posted a list of five women who are in the running to play Hal Jordan’s girlfriend in the upcoming Green Lantern movie… and it’s pretty much the list you would come up with when listing all eligible 30-something actresses who come for relatively cheap.
The source seems solid, but lets review (and gawk at pictures of their hawtness)
 | #1 – Eva Green Eva has a haunting beauty, and even despite those almost droopy eyes, I can’t stop looking at her. Yes, she’s distracting like any superhero’s girlfriend should be – but is she a fit? This sexpot just oozes presence on screen. |
 | #2 – Keri Russell Keri has that very “girl next door” look down. Genuinely appealing, sweet and innocent with a tiny bit of a rough edge that says “I might be cute, but don’t break my heart” The very thing you might want from a sweet and approachable girlfriend figure for a superhero. Something to ground him to reality. A “real” girl to remind him of a real world. |
 | #3 – Diane Kruger From the follicking briany adventurer, to Helen of Troy, she has had her share of roles that don’t allow you to put her in a box and categorize her. She could play just about any archetype from vixen arm candy to shy sweetheart. |
 | #4 – Blake Lively This strikes me as far too young. Another unique beauty, this Gossip Girl might be trying to break out of the small screen (her previous attempts have been more or less unnoticed) but despite her “too mature for an 18 year old” personality on Gossip Girl, I still think Blake Lively is far too young to pair off with Reynolds. I just don’t see it. |
 | #5 – Jennifer Garner Garner is a hottie for sure, the right age to match up with Reynolds, and she has enough sass to keep up with Hal Jordan’s thrilling career choice. A strong bold girlfriend to continually challenge and support Hal might be just what the daredevil needs… (see what I did there?) |
So all in all, I could be happy with 4 out of the 5 above. I just don’t see Lively keeping up with the pack here. But it all depends on just what kind of portrayal of Carol Ferris they go with.
I just hope they dont have her taking on the Star Sapphire persona as a potential villain for GL.
Now this could all just be wild speculation. But if this was the short list, how would you like to see it go down?
Garner was Horrible in Electra and has no ass, Kruger won me over in Basterds and has sex appeal..
isn’t Kerri Russel like 40 yet?
Kruger for sure.
now by “girlfriend” are we talking carol ferris? or is there also cowgirl? cause keri russell would work there. and without knowing where they’re going with carol (boss, girlfriend, star sapphire) it’s kinda hard to say. just hope that DC knows(for once) where the character, and franchise, are going, so they can plan ahead and cast correctly. but i like Eva Green based on these pics, even though i’m not familiar with her work
Blake lively is hot,an would be my 1st choice from the list but what u said rodney is true.so i would have to say jennifer garner.
I’ve heard the names before but the only one I am familiar with is Jennifer Garner. I would have thought that she would be in a list of people with bigger names.
Of the choices listed I would choose Russell or Eva Green.
Russell doesnt seem to get the A-List roles but I think she has always been a capable actress and really attractive.
Megan Fox for Carol Ferris… but she can’t act.
There’s the problem.
eva green….God i love the way this woman speaks and looks..but i never found jennifer gardner attractive, at all. sorry
Gwyneth Paltrow.
Gwyneth Kate Paltrow AKA God*
I always liked the Bradley Cooper Green Lantern rumor. But could you imagine if Bradley Cooper was Green Lantern and Jennifer Garner was the girlfriend? Brain. Explode.
yeahh, it’s like watching Alias re-run. I can see where the story go: It turn Carol Ferris, is an operative for certain secret agency, as she has been assigned to infiltrate/protect Hal Jordan from the beggining……. (feel free to fill out the blank)
My choice would be, by a mile:
Jennifer Garner, I mean nothing against the others but she’s just way too perfect. If not her, then Green or Lively. Just don’t see Russel or Kruger as the character.
