Which actress plays the titular character's love interest in "Green Lantern"?

Blake Lively plays the titular character’s love interest in Green Lantern.

In the 2011 superhero film Green Lantern, Lively portrays Carol Ferris, the longtime love interest of Hal Jordan, played by Ryan Reynolds. Ferris is not simply a romantic subplot: she is a capable aerospace executive and the vice president of Ferris Aircraft, the company founded by her father.

The character comes from DC Comics, where Carol Ferris has been part of Green Lantern’s mythology since her debut in Showcase #22 in 1959. In the comics, she eventually becomes Star Sapphire, a powerful figure connected to the violet emotional spectrum and the force of love.

The film presents Carol primarily as Hal’s childhood friend, romantic partner, and professional equal, while setting up elements of her future comic-book identity. Lively and Reynolds later married after meeting while working on the film, a real-life connection that often draws attention whenever the movie’s cast is discussed.
