Ryan Reynolds Does Not Rule Out Deadpool
Fri, July 17, 2009 
When Ryan Reynolds accepted the proposal from Warner Bros. and chose to take their ring, many -- if not most people -- assumed the fact that playing Green Lantern would mean the end of Reynolds' involvement in a Deadpool movie.
Now, Deadpool received some pretty lousy treatment in "X-men Origins: Wolverine," but fans of the character were confident (or at least hopeful) that Reynolds, himself a Deadpool fan, could make things right.
However, the left field plucking of Reynolds to play a character in the DC Universe (Green Lantern) left many wondering what that meant for his character in the Marvel Universe (Deadpool).
Apparently, Reynolds is not ruling out a return to Deadpool, telling Entertainment Weekly: "There's no rule that you can't play two different characters in two different comic book universes."
In fact, he added that he might not be done, saying, "There are so many interesting comic book characters out there. I would love to do others."
Personally, I would be shocked to see Reynolds play Deadpool in a solo movie for a vast number of reasons, but at least Deadpool fans still have some hope.

I'd be up for him playing Deadpool. He was wasted in "Wolverine." What was that?
I know nothing about Green Lantern or Deadpool but he does look hot in the mask. How does it stay on anyway? I hope Clark Kent AKA Brandon Routh makes a cameo. Otherwise I might wait for the DVD.
Thanks Sean. Your articles are always interesting to follow.
More characters? Now you're just being greedy, Mr. Reynolds.
The more Ryan Reynolds, the better, I say.
And to quote that pimp in Superman: The Movie - "That is one bad outfit!" (meant in the good way).
I think he is more suited to Deadpool than Green Lantern in truth, but it's at Fox so he probably shouldn't waste his time.
ryan reynolds played a good startoff dead pool then they just messed him up at the end but did leave an opening they played the character well in the movie he never shut up and ryan you have the perfect acting for (the merc with the mouth) wouldve liked to see a ^spin off in the movie though. <(^_^<)
