And now the moment most fanboys were waiting for … Ryan Reynolds has been chosen to play DC Comics’ the Green Lantern, according to the Hollywood Reporter. It has been a long and arduous search, with actors such as Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake and Jared Leto also in the running.
So, that’s TWO comic-book heroes Reynolds will bring to life. Apparently, he is still set to play the X-Men: Wolverine character Deadpool in a spin-off movie. Well, the boy’s got the ripped abs for it, but he must also have a genuine love for spandex.
