Being considered for Hal Jordan


C'mon Tom, you're better than that. And even if a new Green Lantern movie WAS even any good, he's not right for the role IMO.

reply

Being considered doesn't mean he's interested, it means the studio wants him.

Considering he doesn't seem at all into the comic book movie trend, I don't see him even entertaining it.

I think he's way too old for it. Would a woman in her 50s be cast as Wonder Woman?

The biggest issue here is his age. By the time the new green lantern movie comes out he is going to be close to 60. And I'm sure that WB is going to want a trilogy. So I'm not how that would really work out.

If the script is pretty good it would probably be a decent move for him career wise.

So much fkn ageism in Hollywood that even the sheep adopt that philosophy. How you look and the shape you stay in is what matters most. Tom could handle this role and do it convincingly I have no doubt.

He'd crush that role, I hope he gets it.
