Geek Out: Ryan Reynolds Signs On To Play Green Lantern

Ryan Reynolds- Greenlantern

As if the upcoming Deadpool spin-off wasn't enough for him, hottie actor Ryan Reynolds has beat out both Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper for the title role in the upcoming Green Lantern film. If the costume designers are smart, they'll reinterpret the hero's costume as a tight green jockstrap. A boy can dream, right?

  1. Dude, I nearly creamed myself just hearing the GL movie was finally in production (or at least cast).
    Haven’t seen much of Ryan Reynolds’s acting since Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place came out (reminder, need to rent Wolverine), but he’s got a great body for Hal Jordan. Hopefully the producers will incorporate a little tasteful but full-frontal nudity into the storyline.

  2. Didn’t he already fuck up one superhero? At least this time it’s a DC character so there’s no love lost here really (gee, can we tell I prefer Marvel in the rare instances I shift my geek blood towards comics?)

  3. as hot as Ryan Reynolds and oooooh he is so hot, the current green lantern is black and we need an black superhero.

  4. Not to burst your bubble, Drew, but Hal Jordan IS one of the current Green Lanterns (and the current focus of the GL title). He’s also the most well-known (and my personal fave).
    John Stewart (the black guy) was supposed to be featured in the Justice League movie, but it’s looking doubtful that will get made anytime soon.
    Anyway, I do agree there is a shortage of minority superheroes well-known enough to reach the general public (unless you count aliens and Amazons as minorities).
