"Neither is next," the actor revealed when asked about whether he’ll be filming
Deadpool or
R.I.P.D (the story of a recently slain cop who joins a team of undead police officers working for the Rest in Peace Department and tries to find the man who murdered him) next.
"They're both movies I'm interested in, they're both movies that are in fast-track development."
However, Reynolds was quick to tell
iO9 that nothing is definite yet:
"I never say I'm doing a movie until I break for lunch the first day. Because it's such a crapshoot, this industry. Everything's so fickle and so contingent on so many factors, aside from just an actor. And because it has an actor, and because these films have interested directors, it's obviously likely that they'll both get made."
"But," he added in what will surely be worrying news for those of us hoping to see him play the Merc with a Mouth,
"I think it would be more likely that only one of them gets made with me."
And as for
Green Lantern 2 being filmed in the near future, he laughed:
"Oh, yeah, we got to get that cart well in front of the horse, I guess!"
Green Lantern is set to be released June 17, 2011!
