If it's crap... We'll tell you

cinematical reports

In a very surprising move, Ryan Reynolds has won the much-coveted lead role in Warner Bros. live-action version of Green Lantern. We reported earlier this morning that Reynolds was up for the role alongside Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake, but thought he'd be a long shot considering the fact that he was also gearing up for a solo Deadpool spin-off. But Green Lantern is definitely a better (and more popular) role for him, and Warners probably liked the fact that Reynolds comes with a nice healthy package full of good looks, charisma and physical force. Dude is huge, he's proven he can handle the superhero stuff (ie: Deadpool in Wolverine), and he's at that sweet spot in his career where something like this could turn him into the next Christian Bale.

Lantern fans will probably agree that he's the best choice, though I'm not crazy about actors who double-dip in the comics world, and I can see people wanting the actor to stick to either one or the other. Production on Green Lantern is set to start in January, with Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) at the helm. The Green Lantern is currently scheduled to hit theaters on June 17, 2011.

So what do you think of Reynolds in the role? Can he pull off both Lantern and Deadpool?

Don't like the double dip but if you try to forget the shit fest that was Wolverine he is a good actor and has all the correct physical features such as brown hair right height..

ohh and the way you wrote every sentence seemed to refere to reynold package, sweet spot, how huge he is and how up for the role he is. just pointing it out

I'm going to give Reynolds the benefit of the doubt.
Every bone in my freaking body is responding negatively to this, but he's a good actor.

I like Ryan Reynolds but I think this is a bad choice. I hope they don't make the Green Lantern a wise cracking smartass, that just doesn't fit the character.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean Reynolds is a good actor, but not good for the Green Lantern. Just pick this guy already.

No, because a lot of people wanted him, and I'm one off them, cuz he's a good actor, and he worked perfectly in that fake trailer, so who knows. Oh and the GL and Deadpool movies are being released in the same year.

I think he's better set for Deadpool. I mean, I like what he did for all ten minutes (if even) of screentime in Origins, but I don't know if he can do Hal Jordan. of course, I know nothing of Hal Jordan or the Green Lantern mythos, so I wouldn't know. we shall soon see.

Nothing against him, but I was hoping for the black Lantern.
