Cast : Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan: A test pilot for the United States Air Force who becomes a Green Lantern and the first earthman ever inducted into the Green Lantern Corps. In an interview with MTV News Reynolds revealed; "I've known about 'Green Lantern' my whole life, but I've never really followed it before. I fell in love with the character when I met with Martin Campbell". About the film Reynolds stated; "It is an origin story to a certain degree, but it's not a labored origin story, where the movie begins in the third act. The movie starts when it starts. We find out Hal is the guy fairly early on, and the adventure begins". Alternatively Chris Pine and Sam Worthington had been in discussions for the role. Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake screen tested, while Brian Austin Green, a Green Lantern fan, campaigned for the part, but ultimately did not audition.
Mark Strong as Thaal Sinestro: A Green Lantern and Hal Jordan's mentor.In an interview with USA Today Strong affirmed that the film will follow the origin story, "the film closely follows the early comics. Sinestro starts out as Hal Jordan’s mentor, slightly suspicious and not sure of him because obviously Hal is the first human being who’s made into a Green Lantern. He’s certainly very strict and certainly unsure of the wisdom of Hal becoming a Green Lantern". About the character Strong stated; “He is a military guy but isn’t immediately bad. It’s the kind of person he is that lends himself to becoming bad over the course of the comics being written, but initially he’s quite a heroic figure.” He also revealed that the outfit and other aspects of the character very closely follow the character’s early days, “That widow’s peak and thin mustache was for some reason originally based on David Niven, and Hal Jordan was based on Errol Flynn. In the ‘30s and ‘40s, they shared an apartment together in Hollywood when they were making movies and they were great friends. Obviously at the time, whoever was doing the original comics must have looked at them as guys doing very well in the film industry, and based those characters on them. So I would like to do justice to the Sinestro that was conceived for the comic books”.
Cast of Green Lantern at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International.

I'm 40 feet in the air, spiraling around. That's the best workout you can ever do because it's all core... You do that for ten minutes and you should see your body the next day! It's so exhilarating, so thrilling—and nauseating".

Taika Waititi as Thomas Kalmaku: An Inuit engineer at Ferris Aircraft.In an interview, Waititi says he was cast after a Warner Bros. casting agent saw his performance in Boy, which he also wrote and directed.
