Empire says:
Though DC diehards will no doubt be eagerly anticipating the big screen arrival of Green Lantern come June 17, there are still millions of us just as excited about the potential of Marvel’s “Merc With The Mouth” getting his chance to shine in his own lead role.
So as we were on set to speak with Mr. Reynolds himself for our feature on the willpower-wielding cosmic cop (see the current issue), we took a bit of time out with him to talk about Deadpool, beginning with the obvious question… what’s the deal there then?
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I know very little about Deadpool outside of what I saw in X-Men Origins but Ryan Reynolds appeared to portray the character really well. Would be a shame if they were to go with a different actor.
Sad thing is that I wish he had done Deadpool over Green Lantern. What I've seen so far of GL kind of scares me. His attitude in general is perfect for Deadpool, but I think he gets carried away with it big time in GL when he's supposed to be a more earnest. I hope to be proven wrong.
If this movie ends up happening I have a strong feeling Reynolds won't be in it. After GL he's got RIPD (possibly) and if GL does good, he's already locked in for more sequels to that. His plate will be incredibly full and it'd be hard to sneak Deadpool in there. I like the character and think a film on his own could be good...but who knows.
