It's Official: Ryan Reynolds Is the Green Lantern!

finaly some good news in the movie world bro

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Deadpool movie will not be made. It's been put into development hell.

Same thing I said... Everybody laughed when i told them.

Am I dreaming or did I read that they actually considered Justin Timberlake? You've got to be kidding me.

Deadpool will be decent. Ryan Reynolds will be worth the ticket price alone. What they did in Wolverine was stupid, but the Deadpool movie won't be linked to it in anyway. It wuill be a stand alone movie, and dare i say.... better than Wolvie!

As for Le-Beowulf playing the Flash,... mmm, well i suppose. Only because im not sure who else could play the role. I'd like to see Richard Harris, i think he's really funny on the showm How i met your Mother. But he wouldn't be a big enough name.

SHIT!!!!!! Agent dude I agree with you, Shia needs to shave (look younger) and play flash, he could probably pull it off.

Ultron?... Anyway Ii think this dude is gonna be good, Rumor has it he'll play flash but I dont see how thats possible with him playing green lantern.

Ultron should be the villain in the Avengers movie

DP will suck anyway, Rad :P Did you see Wolverine?

I'm gonna throw something out there, I was thinking about it yesterday. It's a little off topic, but GL and Flash are both DC characters so...I think Shia LaBeouf could play the Flash...Wally West, preferably. He's no Barry Allen, but he has that wit to him that's perfect for Wally. He's a likable guy and I can actually see him in the uniform. Since Reynolds is now GL there's no way he can be Flash, so...there ya go.

I wonder what Marvel think of this. I don't mind that Reynolds is the Green Lantern, i think he will be pretty cool actually. But with signing on to play Deadpool also, it just seems very strange.

If Sinestro is in this, he'll most likely be a Green Lantern who mentors Hal. By the end of the movie, something will happen that turns him against the Corps setting him up as the villain for the sequel.

Geoff Johns' "Secret Origin" arc in GL is a good starting point.

Come on Ryan kick Sinestro' Ass

Word. Lol

In any case, I'm excited for them to start shooting Green Lantern.

Well, technically the second suit doesn't come into existence until after Steve Rogers dies (That's Captain America II), but I get what you're saying.

Lol well I meant body wise, and that picture is kinda over the top his chest isn't THAT big lol. I was more thinking this is how most people see Captain America: http://i32.tinypic.com/2he8y1j.jpg
Btw that actor's face looks perfect (Jason Lewis?)

I would like to see newer upgraded versions of him too if they don't go with the old school look. Here are some interesting costume designs I think would make him look more modern. Like maybe have him in the old school costume back in WW2, and then have him change into something more modern more "Tony Stark"-ish lol like these two images below

Except pro wrestlers can't act, and what you're decribing would end up looking like this: http://www.sequentialtart.com/archive/july00/images/0700/bb_1.jpg.

Look, characters like James Bond are open to interpretation, because it's about the attitude less than the looks. Captain America has been, for his entire life as a character (longer than most others, including Bond) depicted as the stereotypical "All-American, Blonde-Haired, Blue-eyed, patriot". If they were going to break that mold, they might as well go with Will Smith, and really make this Avengers movie something original. Other than that, The guy needs to look like this:http://www.imnotobsessed.com/files/legacy/2007/11/jenaniston-jason-lewis.jpg

Though I'm not saying Jason Lewis should do it, but he has the look.

While I would love to see Brad Pitt, he really is too old at this point (youthful as he still is at 45), and would look a little ridiculous with bright blonde hair.

Sam would be good appearance wise cause he could bulk up, but his accent kinda throws off the "american" part lol. It would be weird to see some guy kicking ass who's named after America then all of a sudden have a strong non-american accent when he spoke lol. That'd be like having some british sounding guy play Captain America, it'd be weird and people would make fun of it and Cap America wouldn't be taken seriously. It'd be a joke to people.

Captain America is huge. He is a big fucking guy, Brad Pitt wouldn't work, yeah Brad is toned but he's too skinny to play such a thick bodied character. They need to get a unknown with a body of a professional wrestler to match Captain America's physical appearance. Also need a strong chin, that guy Delgren named Scott Porter I think it was? Anyway, his chin matches, but if I had to look at that guy's face throughout the movie I'd hang myself in the theater, I don't know why, but that guy's face bugs me lol. He looks somebody who would play a "villian" in a movie, like the asshole jock or something. He also isn't that big. I don't remember what this guy has been in but he isn't the worst choice, I just would look for a better match. Cap looks old to me, like in his 30s, at least that's how I see him in almost all the pictures I save to my computer. He's older looking than a lot of the other Marvel characters in his costume. It might just be that broad chin who knows.

ohh man...in how many movies are we gonna see him playing? he is burning himself.

Reynolds is gonna be awesome for this movie. He's a great actor.
Those who think he wasnt right for the part will probably be surprised at how well he does.

He already looks like a superhero, and GL(Hal Jordan) without trying

Im definitely a happy camper with this decision

I think I would have rather seen Sam Worthington as Green Lantern than Captain America. I can see as Martian Man Hunter for DC now that they are winding down possible super hero candidates for movies. I can also see him as Punisher if they took the time to really give the story the attention it needs like DC did with the Batman revamp. But then again that depends on the Writer and Director.

sam worthington would be awesome... i just dont see that happening

I can't see Brad Pitt either VIS. Thomas jane would have been good when he was younger, and the dude cast for Thor would have been great as well. I think this guy Scott Porter has the look down, as well as the all american personality, and would be a good pic. Honestly, I'll cry if they pick Channing Tatum to play Captain America, that guys a serious fuck face.

I don't understand Newkill why you think Sam Worthington can't do it cause he's not american, but you don't have the same problem with Daniel Craig being blonde hair, blue eyes, when James Bond has been iconically depicted as being dark hair dark eyes, from the books to the movies until this recent revamp.

Jeremy Renner face is too squishy, another reason why Matt Damon wouldn't make the cut, he's got squishy face.

im officially putting Jeremy Renner's name out there for Captain America!

Oh, and you spell "douche" like that...not dooch

I don't agree because just because he played Bourne doesn't mean he can play fucking Captain America. You really think he'd be able to pull off blonde hair? Maybe, but he's just not Captain America, and people only think that because he was a good Bourne. That's like saying Daniel Craig should be Cap because he was a kick ass Bond...but he's too old. Brad Pitt is perfect. I don't know why people debate that. Maybe because he's too big of a celeb

Bet this story gets to 600 comments.
