Ryan Reynolds has had his fair share of experience when it comes to super hero movies. He’s appeared in “Blade: Trinity” as Hannibal King, he played a weird version of Deadpool that we’d all like to forget in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and he played the title character in DC’s “Green Lantern” film. Now finally he’s doing Deadpool the right way and Reynolds feels more comfortable than ever.
IGN recently caught up with Ryan Reynolds to talk about the release of “Deadpool” next week and they asked him about his super hero past and future. Reynolds was asked if he would ever be interested in reprising his role as Hal Jordan for another go as a Green Lantern, but Reynolds made it clear that he’s really all set.
“I never want to play another comic book character again; Deadpool, I would like to play for the rest of my life – that’d be fun. No, I’ve done a number of them, and I think it’s time for other people to do them now. You’ve got to share the wealth on that one.” Reynolds said.
If this film is successful, and there’s a pretty good chance it will be, Reynolds likely won’t have to play another super hero ever again. Super hero movies are all the rage right now and everyone is hyped for Deadpool. Everyone also unanimously agrees that Ryan Reynolds was the right choice to bring the character to life on the big screen.
With all of those things in mind it’s not hard to imagine Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool for many years to come. If this thing does well at the box office Fox is going to be more than willing to throw money at sequels and spin offs. Which means if you buy a ticket to “Deadpool” next week you’re bringing us all one step closer to seeing Deadpool team up with the bloodless ghost of Benjamin Franklin on the big screen.
Something Ryan Reynolds has totally said he’s down for.
