Ryan Reynolds Talks Justice League Movie; Reiterates That He's Not Been Asked To Star In It!

First! Nice! I hope he is in it! :D

WB/DC seems like they're trying to fail on purpose.

@Fartpants: Totally agree with you man, it's a chance for DC to reinvent the iconic heroes.'

@prototype87: Cool! O.0

it would be nice if at least Ryan is in it.

but who knows?...

I hope the fans keep the pressure on for JLA and who knows maybe they will get it right .

Hoping that just because Ryan hasn't been asked YET that doesn't mean he won't be asked at all.

No matter who you prefer you can't deny this:


Avengers = A group of C-class up to A-class heroes that we may love but the general public know, or until recently have known nothing about. Hulk being the exception.

Justice League = A group of C-class up to un-rateable genre defining icons the whole world knows no matter what their interest.

That makes the Avengers movie a bold move but the Justice League movie a near impossibility. If we got it, and got it done right then our minds would be blown away!

I'm all for a JLA movie... but it will be difficult to do. In the Marvel movies, you can change the costumes and make them more real... it will be hard to make those same changes in a DC movie.

Can you imagine how silly Flash, Superman, GL (for example) all in the same room wearing their PJs. Not saying it CAN'T be done... but it will be a challenge.

Teabag - maybe I wasn't clear. I'm saying that JLA is a riskier movie. Let's face it, if Marvel wanted to they could have watered down the Avengers characters with putting some into the background as supporting characters and gone straight into the movie without needing to establish the characters first. The general public would just see it as an X-Men/GI-Joe type ensemble and it would sell. That can't be done with JLA. No matter who you are you have a basic knowledge of the importance of Superman and Batman. And most know who Wonder Woman and the Flash are. The general public know these characters aren't supporting roles. So in a way, the pressure is off for Marvel as they can present their Avengers characters whichever way they want while DC have to get each hero right.

Oh, and don't bad-mouth Scooby-Doo meets Batman! That's one of my favourite movies!

I'm still wondering what this means for The Flash and Green Lantern 2.

Berlanti, Guggenheim, and Green have been working on screenplays for these since last June - surely those would be likelier candidates for 2013?

@GRIF. well said. the cgi in the GL looks amazing and by now im tired of the transformers....i fell asleep during the second one. it was far too long of a movie. WB will be missong out on the cash flow they are desiring if they dont do the team up....its what the majority of us want.....so far as this poll goes:

@teabag I would say you are a little right but I would say that more of the general audience is aware more of the JLA then the Avengers also I believe it may me more so here in the states then in Great Britain. Almost every kid here grew up with them more because everyone watched them on Saturday morning line ups and weekday afternoons after school here. Also it explains why so many people on movie forums and youtube who were 90's kids and non comic book fans posted so much that they thought Green Lantern was a black guy.

Super friends and the JLA were very popular here in the states and on Ironman here very few people know about Ironman either. Both Super friends and the JLA were shown on a much longer run and more popular here then any marvel show with Xmen in the 90s coming very close

Regarding Snyder's Superman- he has commented that Cavill would not appear in a JL film but its ultimately WB's decision, right? There was an article alluding to that that appears to have been removed, was that an April Fools dealy?

I think you meant to say that he's not been asked to be in it...yet.

I will say that Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash are the most well known DC characters. At least til Green Lantern hits theaters. No "regular joe" knows who Thor is. People know Iron Man, Spiderman, X-Men, and Captain America (just the name of CA). But Spiderman and no X-Men of any kind are in the upcoming Avengers, so, with that being said, I think a Justice League movie would be a bigger hit is all. Besides, no one knows what the Avengers are either. Everyone has heard of Justice League (cause people make those funny video cartoons making fun of them like Southpark does and what not). JL would be more successful and hyped cause of the big hero names in the group.

I am not saying I don't like Marvel or DC or whatever stupid nonsense people make up out of nowhere, I'm just sayin JL would probably kick The Avengers ass in the box office if DC actual got the big actors together and what not. They know they could, if they wanted. And on the flip side, us Marvel fans are fortunate that we have a team film coming, and that Marvel REALLY cares about exposure (in a good way). If DC could just follow suit, the world would be a better place lol.

SO.......DC doesn't want my money?

SO.......DC doesn't want my money?

Now that doesn't mean that DC has to go according to the model defined by Marvel. They don't necessarily have to have a shared cinematic universe. They could completely throw that out the window and make a movie based on the presumption that the general public is already very familiar with these characters (mainly because of cartoons) and avoid having to tell any origin stories. It's just with Superman, Batman and GL all having movies coming out in the near future, it would be a lot to ask of the general movie going audience to embrace a movie that did not feature those respective actors reprising their roles. That being the case, it may be wise for DC/Warner to in the very least wait a few years until we are ready for a new Batman and we have an established Superman and GL and then perhaps give it a shot, possibly introducing a new Batman with JLA.
