2. Bradley Cooper as Hal Jordan

Imagine Bradley Cooper as an Older Green Lantern. One of the biggest selling points of Cooper as Hal Jordan is his ability to play a seasoned veteran. As an older version of the character, Hal would have been a member of the Green Lantern Corps for many years, and would have a wealth of experiences and battles under his belt. Cooper’s ability to convey the weight of those experiences, as well as the wear and tear that comes with them, would make him a perfect fit for the role.

Cooper is also no stranger to playing larger-than-life characters. He has already shown that he can handle big roles with his performances in films like American Sniper and A Star is Born. And just like those films, playing Hal Jordan in a DCU film would require him to bring a level of gravitas and command to the role.

Cooper’s acting range is versatile and he can play a wide range of characters. He can go from playing a charming, charismatic, and witty character to a brooding and intense one. In Green Lantern, Hal Jordan is a complex character. He is a test pilot, a leader, and a hero but also a flawed individual. Cooper has the ability to play all sides of the character and give him a unique interpretation.
