Many actors have been rumored for the role of Green Lantern but none so far have turned out to be correct. Yet another actor today turns up for the role: Alias star turned comedy supporting actor Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, Midnight Meat Train) is now a frontrunner to don the ring and save the galaxy.

This comes from HitFix who insists that the casting rumor comes from several reliable sources, though a deal is yet to be signed between Warner Bros. and Cooper.

Other actors rumored in the past have been Ryan Gosling, Anton Yelchin and Chris Pine. Shooting begins later this year under Martin Campbell’s helm.
