    The Deadpool film is already approved. They'd be throwing their money away if they didn't make it.

    I don't know if the green lantern rumor is even true.

    This just means that the Deadpool movie might take a bit longer that's all.. Ryan is too passionate about Deadpool to just leave it.. Besides he has even done interviews about Deadpool and everything, it'll just take some time. By the time GL is done Deadpool will probably have the script and all those missing elements together :D

    Yeah i agree with Vance. Ryan should just stick with Deadpool, he is like a perfect Deadpool. I can't really see him as Hal, but hell, he might do a badass job.

    I'm just psyched that they are finally making movies about someone other than superman or batman. Come on theres like 6 batman movies and about the same for superman, and no flash, GL, wonder woman, or MM?

    I can see Reynolds as Kyle, but he's not who I'd pick to play Hal.

    Either way, he's contractually obligated to a Deapool film, is he not? If so, then that would have to happen at some point and under the timetable set by the agreement (if said agreement does indeed exist).

    How will him taking another superhero role affect the Deadpool movie?  It's just another job.  Would this even come up if it was another romantic comedy instead?  The studio will get the film sorted and it'll happen when it happens and if it doesn't happen then Ryan playing GL would've had zero impact on it.  Films get dragged into production hell all the time.

    @WWDD: I could still delay Deadpool. If he did take the role the film schedules could conflict also having him star in both films could stretch his fan base too thin.

    It's not the same as romantic comedies at all.

    Reynolds fits the Deadpool role like a glove.  I was hoping that perhaps Bradley Cooper would get a shot at a leading role like GL, but oh well.  Maybe the Green Lantern movie will slow things down, but I doubt it.  Deadpool's very popular right now in the comics, so why wouldn't Marvel want to throw a bunch of money at it and try to make a movie?

    Plus it's interesting to consider that he may or may not take the role.  James Purefoy was originally cast as V for the V for Vendetta movie, but later dropped out and was replaced by Hugo Weaving (who did a fantastic job).  So who knows if anything is set in stone.  We'll just have to wait and see.

    @Abnormally Warm Guy: Each studio has to get themselves in order.  An actor is not going to wait around while they figure themselves out.  The schedule is up to them, not him.  If he takes another movie them they'll just have to wait until it wraps.  It happens all the time.  I don't see how him taking the GL role will stretch his fan base too thin.  If you are a fan of Reynold's you go see all his movies.  If you are a fan of GL then you just go and see that movie or you boycott it and whine about casting choices. 

    If anything is impacting the Deadpool film it's Fox.  Do they even have a script yet?

    @WWDD: If you have too many movies with one person in it coming out to close to eachother the fan base f the actor might dwindle. It's happened to a lot of high end actors (Nicalos Cage with Wicker Man and Lord of War, or Tom Cruise with Minority Report and Collateral, the second of each of those listed movies should have done a lot better because people like those actors (or did at the time) but people didn't want to spend more money on someone they just saw).

    Also since it is a super hero movie people will associate Reynolds more tightly with the characters. Since Green Lantern will surely come out first many people will assocaite Reynolds with Green Lantern now (since he is a part in that movie then he was in Wolverine or even Blade a few years ago). But I don't know how exactly that would affect the box office gros of the film. It could help for all I know.

    Nothing is gonna be affected by the Green Lantern movie.  Robert Downey Jr. has managed to make two Iron Man movies despite Tropic Thunder, Sherlock Holmes, and The Soloist.  Anyway, the Deadpool film is in production--its gonna happen.
    This is a good thing.  It breaks all those stupid rules people say are there preventing people from playing two different comic book characters.

    The only thing that the Green Lantern movie will do to the Deadpool movie is push it back a year. Marvel isn't going to release another superhero movie staring the same actor on the same year...it's too much competition.

    I think Ryan should stick with Deadpool, I understand that he is a comic book fan and wants to star in a great comic book movie, and he knows that FOX won't make a GREAT comic book movie, if lucky only something good. Still he doesn't fit the role, I just can't see him as Green Lantern....

    he will do both movie i have no doubt about that, you have to realize though in deadpool he will be scarred up and have a mmask on the whole time , the most we will see of him is flashbacks and stuff like that, after a while into  the movie all we will have is his voice too. so if he does green lantern its ok with me , and yeah more movies he does more profit for him i would do the same haa

    that looks cool, he kind of reminds me of Ben Stiller in that pic for some reason.
    Maybe he'll get pumped up for Deadpool and GL..... maybe they'll have a cross over movie in 4 years where they're talking to each other about their movies...

    The Deadpool movie isn't even remotely at risk.  Warner will get cold feet like they always do and pull the plug during pre production. 
     
    Besides, there's already a movie called 'The Deadpool'.  And the quality of actors in it is rather surprising.

    If they go with this type of costume design for the movie. All though Photoshopped - it would still work out really well. Doesn't look to comic book-like. Ryan's big, but if they're going for 90's style kind of thing - they'd want a bigger actor, but put Ryan's voice behind it. Kind of like that they did with Power Rangers.

    Last i read Reynolds still wants to do DP, and that the studios are also letting him help with the storyline, meaning he will be watching for authenticity while simultaniously blending himself with DP, which shouldnt be hard since the role is almost tailored for him.
