According to Reuters, Ryan Reynolds has been casted as Green Lantern.

If you’re unfamiliar with Reynolds, go see X-Men Origins: Wolverine.  He’s Deadpool.  Actually, go see Origins anyway, just for fun.  He does a decent Deadpool and is getting a spinoff movie.  Then he’s also Green Lantern?  Others were up for the role:  Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto, even Justin Timberlake.  I gotta be honest I see all of those guys as Hal Jordan before I see Reynolds.

What do you think?  Will he make a good Green Lantern?  Will Ryan Reynolds really became “that guy who does the superhero movies”?

I was surprised to see him attached to this movie. I think Bradley Cooper would have been a better match and better that Reynolds not get spread too thin.

I agree, Bradley Cooper would have been awesome!

I’ve been thinking about this, and I think the problem is I tend to associate Reynolds with some of those goof-ball comedies he did early in his career. I’m going to switch to positive mode, and be optimistic about this possibility!

That’s what I associate him with too! He seems goofy to me, which worked with Deadpool…
