Nerds! Assemble! The first look at THE GREEN LANTERN we’ve all been waiting for is here! Today, on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, sits Ryan Reynolds (or a CGI copy of Ryan Reynolds, anyway) clad in green. Originally Mel Gibson was to be on the cover, but thanks to his latest “tantrum” we’re all getting an early look at what we’ve been waiting for. Thanks Mel!

According to Reynolds, Hal draws his power from “will and imagination”. “We need a circus of Timothy Learys to think of things Hal would invent with his ring.” Hopefully, later pictures and eventually, footage, live up to that description. Check out the photo below, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly.
