Aside from a nude role, the kind of part we most like to see our favorite actresses play would have to be a slot in a superhero flick. Think about it. Scarlett Johansson's leather catsuit in Iron Man 2? Kirsten Dunst's nipples in Spider-Man? Nerdery and slight nudery is a match made in geek heaven.
Comic freaks of the world have a reason to celebrate today, because it's been confirmed that a Mr. Skin favorite, the very sexy Blake Lively, has been cast in the upcoming Green Lantern movie.
According to Heat Vision:
Blake Lively has nabbed the female lead opposite Ryan Reynolds in Warner Bros.' Green Lantern.
Lively will play Carol Ferris, who runs her father's aerospace company and hires cocky test pilot Hal Jordan (Reynolds), who later becomes the intergalactic policeman Green Lantern.
The search for the Martin Campbell-directed film's leading lady was almost as intense as the one for its title star. Keri Russell and Jennifer Garner were reportedly among those in the mix for the role.
The role called for a slightly older actress but Lively, who stars in the CW's "Gossip Girl," impressed the studio and filmmakers with her audition.
In the Green Lantern comics, Blake's character's alias, Star Sapphire, wears a get-up that resembles a high-cut one-piece with a skimpy breastplate barely concealing her boobs, accessorized with a pair of thigh-high boots. Sounds like a heroine more intoxicating than heroin.
