Ryan Reynolds Talks' Deadpool' Movie and 'Green Lantern' Joining Justice League

Ryan Reynolds has starred in two different superhero films (three if you count Blade: Trinity) for two rival comic book companies. Where most fans wish that those movies, Marvel’s X-men Origins: Wolverine and DC’s The Green Lantern, were never made, most agree that Ryan Reynolds wasn’t half bad either. After all, he was cast as two of the mouthiest superheroes in comic history (Hal Jordan and Wade Wilson). Now the actor is opening up about the current status of the solo Deadpool movie as well as whether The Green Lantern will be joining the Justice League.

A Deadpool solo movie has been in talks for years, ever since Ryan Reynolds played a version of the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Reynolds recently spoke to Total Film about the current status of the long awaited Deadpool movie:

"That movie is alive and kicking, and then it's dead as a doornail. Then it's alive and kicking and then it's dead…it's like the worst relationship I've ever had! The character knows he's a comic-book character, he knows he's in a film, he knows who the executives are at the studio making the movie. In the current iteration of the script, Deadpool is aware of the Wolverine movie. He doesn't say anything disparaging about it but he does at one point play with the Deadpool action figure with some curiosity."

Meanwhile, Reynolds other secret, DC Comic’s Green Lantern, AKA Hal Jordan, has many fans wondering if Reynolds will be popping up in the Justice League. Like X-Men Origins, The Green Lantern was panned by fans, however, Reynolds performance was one of the brightest spots of the film. Ryan was recently a guest on an Empire Magazine Podcast, where he dished about the GL joining the Justice League:

“Working on Green Lantern I saw how difficult it is to make that concept palatable and how kind of confused it can all be when you don't really know exactly where you're going with it or where you don't know exactly how to access that world. That world that comic book fans have been accessing for decades and falling in love with...So I don't know. At this point I have very little interest in joining that, but as always, a great script and good director could turn that around."
