Gossip Girl's Blake Lively is reportedly among the five candidates to play the love interest in Warner Bros's Green Lantern movie.

According to Latino Review, Lively, Jennifer Garner, Keri Russell, Diane Kruger and Casino Royale's Eva Green are the frontrunners to star opposite Ryan Reynolds in the superhero picture.

The actresses are allegedly being targeted for the role of Carol Ferris, the 27-year-old daughter of Ferris Air chief Carl. The character begins a romance with Reynolds's pilot Hal Jordan in the DC Comics adaptation.

Green Lantern is expected to begin production next year under the direction of Martin Campbell. The movie will bow in cinemas in summer 2011.
