With Green Lantern steaming straight ahead, they still hadn’t picked who would play Hal’s girlfriend Carol Ferris.
I am sure they knew, they just were not talking. Now it looks like Blake Lively will be snogging with Ryan Reynolds in the film.
Current info says that the shortlist for Green Lantern’s primary female character Carol Ferris — an aerospace company exec and the woman who hires test pilot Hal Jordan, who becomes Green Lantern — included Keri Russell, Jennifer Garner and Blake Lively. The gig has gone to Lively, and she’ll prep to shoot the film in March in Louisiana.
Blake Lively sure is a pretty girl, so we wont have any problem thinking that he would fall head over heels for her. And even on Gossip Girl where this 22 year old actress is trying to pass off as 18 she still looks far more mature for her age (might have something to do with the fake breasts you don’t often see on girls so young – that are not adult media stars) so I am no longer worried about her age.
Yeah there will be a gap since Reynolds won’t be passing as 25. But she’s serious eyecandy so the fanboys will love her. As long as she has dark hair.
For me its not THAT big of a deal. But I suspect she will be a brunette for this film. The fanboys will go absolutely crazy if she is not. Yeah she makes a pretty tasty blonde, and I am sure she will look classy as hell in an Ally McBeal pantsuit even with dark hair.
I will wait to see her “in action” before I pass judgement, but in the previous post about the Green Lantern’s girlfriend shortlist I would have picked anyone BUT Lively.
If they decide to spinoff with the Star Sapphire persona Ferris eventually adopts (a super powered opposition to GL) I wouldnt mind seeing lively in spandex.
Just sayin.
