When Ryan Reynolds was cast in Green Lantern, he was a hot commodity and could have chosen any number of superhero roles. Unfortunately, that movie nearly killed his career but he rebounded with Deadpool and has earned back his A-List status as one of Hollywood's most must-see actors.
At Comic-Con this weekend to promote the upcoming Blu-ray release of Deadpool 2, the actor was asked about if he'd like to play any other comic book characters and he made a perfect suggestion.
"I would say Wolverine, but God, I would be terrible," he admitted before mentioning the superhero he would actually be an amazing fit for. "Honestly, I wanted to be the Flash, the Wally West version, but I think all of those ships have sailed." Sadly, Reynolds is probably right but it would have been a lot of fun seeing that version of the Scarlet Speedster brought to the big screen by him a few years back.
Once upon a time, it was said that we might see Reynolds' Green Lantern team up with Bradley Cooper's Flash in a movie but the DC Extended Universe has changed a lot since those rumours first surfaced and it's now Ezra Miller who will race into a solo movie as the Fastest Man Alive one day.
