Ryan Reynolds will dawn the green tights in July 2011 to portray The Green Lantern and if you remember back in July we reported on the casting carousel that had many actors fighting for the coveted role. Well, it looks as if the carousel started again for casting Carol Ferris, the leading lady in the film. Among the riders on the carousel (I’m staying on this metaphor until the end) were Keri Russell, Blake Lively, and Jennifer Garner, and it’s being reported that Blake Lively of Gossip Girl fame has won the role.

Her character is described as “a woman who who runs her father’s aerospace company and hires cocky test pilot Hal Jordan (Reynolds), who later becomes the intergalactic policeman Green Lantern. In the comics, the romance became complicated when an alien race bestowed her the power of a crystal called the Star Sapphire.”

What do you think of this news? Comic Book guys, will she make a good Carol Ferris?
