Inspired
Brolin as Hal Jordan is an inspired choice. Test pilots are not 23-year-old hotshots. And he can project the menace and tinge of arrogance I’d expect from this character. He shouldn’t be played clownishly the way he was in their recent animated films.

Other Options
I still rather prefer Glen Powell or Bradley Cooper as Hal Jordan, John David Washington as John Stewart, @JamesGunn @DCOfficial @wbpictures
I ‘d rather see Brolin continuing playing Thanos and Cable #LetCableJoinTheMCU pic.twitter.com/zxOw6kKzyE

Future Founder?
I hope Josh Brolin's Green Lantern (if he accepts the role) is going to be treated as a founding member of the Justice league. Because that is who Hal Jordan is. pic.twitter.com/YB39v0VQDi

Dig It
An older experienced Hal Jordan having to team up with a young John Stewart to solve a murder.
Lethal Weapon/True Detective inspired space cops.
I just need Brolin to say "I'm too old for this sh*t"
I dig it. https://t.co/EwXUWVOjvl

Wrong Role
If you want a 50s Hal Jordan, he's RIGHT HERE
If you want Josh Brolin in the DCU, he's RIGHT HERE

Can't See It
I love Josh Brolin, and he was as superb as Thanos, but I'm sorry, I cannot see him as Hal Jordan.

He's usually a more serious actor, and while Im okay with an older Hal Jordan, Hal being 56 in the DCU feels wrong.
I mean, there are so many better choices#Lanterns #HalJordan https://t.co/eCtSdpcqie pic.twitter.com/27ZyD4vvz1
