Ryan Reynolds Says 'There's No Rule' Against Playing Deadpool And Green Lantern

[cerealkiller182]

Ryan Reynolds isnt going to stop making movies after and between green lantern flicks. No reason Deadpool cant be one of them.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well yea its possible he could still do deadpool after he is finished with GL1. though it all counts on if it can get into development really, he likes the script and isnt boggled down with any other roles. Or if wb doesnt slap him into an agreement to not do any marvel films while he is currently onboard with gl films.

Hugh Jackman was both Wolverine and Van Helsing and I thought he pulled it off. I think RR has more acting talent than HJ personally.

And also, Ian McKellen was both Magneto and Gandolf with no problem.

Sticking with the X-Men theme, Patrick Stewart was both Prof X and Capt Picard.

Not all "super heroes" per se, but similar characters in the nerd universe.

 

[Webhead2006]

true their but its all about whats in his contract with both wb and marvel/fox and then if he likes the script or passes on it and all that. Sure i hope he does both and they are sucesses but we will just have to see if deadpool actually gets off the ground, heck fox is still trying to get that magneto film off the ground past few yrs and that hasnt gone anywhere yet. So it could be awhile before deadpool is even ready.

noone said you can not be in other movies. we are talking here about the comicbook character deadpool and green lantern. marvel and DC.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

People still think that a Dead Pool movie is going to see the light of day?

 

[Octoberist]

to be honest, I don't think so. Or anytime soon.

Fox is gonna sit on it, like how they're sitting on the other so-called spin-offs. And the sad thing about the X-Men franchise is that it's going backwards instead of progressing forward. Now it's full of spin offs galore, with no direction in sight. It just seems like Fox doesn't know what to do with the property. Deadpool included.

I was talking about the "can he pull it off convincingly" side. Whether or not he is allowed to do it is something the studios can worry about.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea its a mess with fox's hands on xmen/dd/ff and its to bad fox will likely not give the rights back to xmen to marvel any time soon. DD/ff i believe are close to getting back to marvel's hands in the next few yrs if fox doesnt get something going with either of them.

 

[Octoberist]

the main problem with Fox is that they micro-manage their films like crazy. As if they don't trust the writers and directors that they friggin' hire. It's stupid.

I, for one, am against actors playing more than one comic book character. That's because, once they've played one, they've put their face and style into that character. To do another would kind of make the second the same as the first.

Actors would never work more than once with this mentality.

 

[zeptron]

If GL was Marvel then I would have a problem with it. I'm not a fan of the same actor playing different Marvel characters. Besides Deadpool before he became Barakapool only had like five minutes of screentime in XOW. So I don't think many people are gonna remember Reynolds in that role.

And I wish fanboys would stop suggesting ScarJo for Black Cat. She's already Black Widow. Another Marvel character with a similar name and not only will she be in Iron Man 2 she will most likely be in The Avengers and whatever sequels it may have.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Ryan Reynolds is...

THE JUSTICE LEAGUE!

Best....team....ever.

I'm glad he can play both. But the only other hero I can see him playing is Flash & if WB wants a JL movie then that won't happen.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well we can probably pretty much rule out ever getting a supes in a jl film with the new siegel court ruling.

 

[Octoberist]

no, becasue I'm sure the trial is hyperbole. It doesn't mean Superman is gonna leave the DC universe or the WB.

 

[greenlantern248]

yeah the WB can't show the orgin anymore, which is fine cause I think everyone and their grandparents knows Superman's orgin by now.

 

[I Am The Bat]

I would really have preferred him as Flash because that is what he always really wanted to do, but oh well...

I think he can because you know Halle Berry pulled off Catwoman and Storm, right?

James Marsden pulled of Cyclops (not really - I hated Cyc in those movies) and Lois Lane's husband

Sam Jackson is playing off Nick Fury and Octopus (The Spirit is a DC comic)

Eva Mendes was in Ghost Rider and The Spirit
Scarlett Johansson will be in IM2 and The Spirit

I know there is a couple more, but I can't think of them right now...

 

[BULLITT]

Ryan Reynolds is...

THE JUSTICE LEAGUE!

 

[Webhead2006]

Well i was speaking in the wrost case deal if come 2013 if the families decided to take their half away from wb/dc and both are left with the elements they have.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well i was speaking in the wrost case deal if come 2013 if the families decided to take their half away from wb/dc and both are left with the elements they have. I do really hope that wont be the case and wb/dc could continue to use the character fully in comics/tv/movies with all elements and then with just the stuff the families owe wb/dc just have to pay license fee.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Thank God the righs to Supes origins are gone from WB. Now we can move on from that.

 

[Infinity9999x]

I agree 100%

Mal'Akai, I know you're not meaning to, but by stating what you said above, you're inadvertently insulting Reynolds, or any actor who plays multiple roles.

It's an actor's job to portray different characters, and appear to be a completely different person in each role. Now, granted, there are some film stars who get paid very well to play essentially the same character in each film they are in, but a good actor will take on a variety of roles, and seem like a completely different character in each movie.

Did Depp seem like the same person in Finding Neverland and Pirates? Did Ledger seem like the same person in TDK and A Knight's Tale? Did Tom Hanks seem like the same person in Big and Saving Private Ryan?

It's their job to play different roles, and I for one don't think playing DP and GL would be a problem, especially since the two characters are vastly different. Now, do I think a DP movie will be made? That one I'm not so sure on.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Well we can probably pretty much rule out ever getting a supes in a jl film with the new siegel court ruling.

Superman is still owned by WB/DC though. We don't even need the origin anymore, everyone knows Supes' origin just like Batman's & Spidey's.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well we will just have to see how things will go in next few years and all that. As for origin if we are to get a reboot i would enjoy seeing a new origin so we can clearly get away from the donner take of the origin and all that. Its all just a guessing game to see what happens come 2013 and all that. Hopefully in the end it stays fully intact at wb/dc comics and wb/dc are just charged reasonable license fees over the elements the families own with is clark/supes/lois/jorel/lara/infant kalel/krypton/its desctruction.
