It is really hard to serve two masters at the same time and in Ryan Reynolds case, playing Deadpool and Green Lantern at the same time poses a lot of problems as well!
The Deadpool movie seemed to be getting off on the right foot with Ryan Reynolds starring, Zombieland scribes Rhett Rheese and Paul Wernick penning the script, and Robert Rodriguez in talks to direct the film.
Now it appears that the Green Lantern stint for Reynolds may end up silencing the merc with a mouth completely. Deadpool comic creator Rob Liefeld took to his Twitter account and hinted about the film’s future troubles in a few tweets:
“Warner Bros. just trying to protect their investment. They don’t want Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool AND Green Lantern. Interesting 2 watch.”
“Bottom line about Deadpool film is that if FOX doesn’t pull the DP film together with Ryan Reynolds between GL films-they should Hari Kari Ryan.”
“Reynolds is the new Will Smith, if FOX can’t maximize this window of opportunity with this star, this character, that script=MASSV FAIL”
Of course, Warner Bros. wants to keep Reynolds locked down for future Green Lantern installments, but if Fox can’t capitalize on Reynolds fast enough and get the ball rolling on Deadpool then he might get shut out from shooting the film next year. Last week Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix scribe Michael Goldenberg was brought aboard to write the script for the Green Lantern sequel.
Rumors are also swirling around that Warner Bros. is looking to turn GL into a trilogy. If Reynolds has to shoot Green Lantern sequels back-to-back next year then he won’t have any time in his schedule for Deadpool. Green Lantern is currently in post-production and is scheduled for a June 17, 2011 release.
If there will be trouble on this casting by Reynolds, he should give up one. What do you think is best for him, Deadpool or Green Lantern?
