    Surprisingly we haven't heard very much about Green Lantern lately. SuperheroHype is reporting that Jon Tenney (The Closer)  has been cast to play Martin Jordan, U.S. Air Force test pilot and father to Hal Jordan.
     
    Tenny revealed that he would have time off in June from The Closer.

    "The Closer's' letting me shoot off in June a little bit, and I'm doing a little picture called 'Green Lantern,' and that will be fun!

    "Ryan Reynolds is the Green Lantern, and when he is a young boy, like 11, I'm his father. I'm Hal Jordan's dad. I'm very excited – it's incredible company."

     
    I have a feeling he won't have a large role in the movie, if you're familiar with the character, you know why. It is good to see that they are getting an experienced actor rather than hire just anyone. My only concern is that the movie won't focus too much on Hal Jordan's origin. I understand why they would want to and have to show who Hal was before becoming a Green Lantern. We did just have the animated Green Lantern: First Flight last year. Unfortunately not all movie goers will have seen that movie before going to see this Green Lantern movie. Let's hope they make the origin brief but informative for those unfamiliar with Hal. I just want to see as much of Hal as a Green Lantern as possible.

    If you ask me, he looks a little young. But then again, he dies when Hal is a kid so it doesn't matter. 
    All in all, he seems good for the role.

    I think the best person that would be Hal's mom would be Lynda Carter, the person that played wonder woman in the original TV show.
