Meet Your New Green Lantern!

Filed under: Film Flickers > Ryan Reynolds

atrio_boys__opt.jpg

Thank goodness!!!!

Ryan Reynolds has been officially cast as the Green Lantern in the upcoming Warner Bros.' film adaptation of the DC Comics legend!!

Shooting for The Green Lantern is scheduled to start up in January with Casino Royale and Goldeneye director Martin Campbell in charge of the flick.

We wouldn't have minded Bradley Cooper as the green-masked hero, but if Timberpuss had snagged the role as originally speculated???

No thank U!

  21. 21

    Yes! Yes! Yes! Best six-pack in Hollywood!



  22. 22

    Re: St00p!d Bitchassness – Agree!!! Did you see him shirtless? He's RIPPED. No body-painting for Ryan Reynolds! hhs six pack is the real thing! And his delicious face…… Scarlett's chosen the pick of the litter!



  23. 23

    How's he gonna be the Green Lantern when he's already gonna be Deadpool?! I like Ryan, but I think Bradley Cooper would've been a better choice.



  24. 24

    uM He is already DEADPOOL. this will upset many fans… they wanted ryan for THE FLASH.



  25. 25

    WTF isnt he suppose to play Deadpool from wolverine in a spin-off??



  26. 26

    he's cute, but he cant be two superheroes!
    i didnt see why halle berry becamse catwoman when she was
    already storm.
    its like saying hugh jackson will play superman or something



  27. 27

    Will he take off his underwear in this film too (Note: I have not seen "The Proposal" yet) ?

    Would you sniff his underwear, PEREZ ? That's a gay thaang, right ?



  28. 28

    AWESOME, bradley and ryan were my favorites and i'm so happy i will see ryan as my favorite superhero…..i would love to see him in tight pants hehehehe.



  29. 29

    Ryan Reynolds — would you run your tongue "up and down and all around" his excellent nekkid booootay (body), PEREZ ?

  31. 31

    i like ryan for comedies, not for dramas or adventure



  32. 32

    yes! i was hoping it was him! i love him. he's so hottt



  33. 33

    bradley cooper makes me wet.



  34. 34

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! (L)



  35. 35

    sooooo hot



  36. 36

    amifirst is obviously fatboy's retarded sister.



  37. 37

    as much as i love me some Ryan Reynolds, he shouldnt be Deadpool AND Green Lantern!!!! get someone new for a superhero (and deadpool is a much more awesome character, he should concentrate on that)



  38. 38

    Reynolds is the hottest star in Hollywood. A body to die for, a great sense of humor, a fantastic timming for comedy and a decent married to an equaly beautyful star…I wish him the best…



  39. 39

    WOO HOO!! I LOVE ME SOME RYAN REYNOLDS.



  40. 40

    Were they seriously considering Justin? F$5ker doesnt even have a manly voice nor can he act.



  41. 41

    still upset that justin isn't licking your ass like gagag, perez? aww.. those feelings will pass soon.



  42. 42

    YES!!!!!!!!

    Love Ryan (:

    Scarlett who?



  43. 43

    yum to the yum! I'm already sporting a woodie.



  44. 44

    He's fucking hot!



  45. 45

    i have so much more respect for you knowing you dislike justin timberlake as much as i do

    will never forgive him for disrespecting britney like he did…asshole



  46. 46

    Ill pass. I dont care about Green Lantern and I find Ryan VERY annoying. If he kept his mouth shut during the whole movie maybe id see it. Hes a hottie though!



  47. 47

    wait, i thought seth rogen was supposed to be the new green lanturn and thats why he dropped all that weight.



  48. 48

    OH MY, THIS IS COMPLETE FABOUSHNESS!!! I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO GET PICKED TO PLAY THIS ROLE…GOOD JOB BY THE EXECS FOR ONCE…



  49. 49

    Re: love me tender – #23 *Shiver* Gawd I almost went crazy in the theater when I saw him shirtless in Wolverine. I was like "OMG YYEEEESS!!!!" So fucking hot. I'm so jealous of Scarlet. I WANT to hate her. But she's awesome and beautiful and an amazing actress and they actually make a good couple. Damn her.. lol



  50. 50

    Re: cinamae – #27 Uhm they're actors they can play how many roles they want how often they want as long as they do it well. Plus Catwoman sucked anyway. Pft. He would have been great for Flash because he can put across an amazing sense of humor and we all know Flash is the joker and it would have been good if they used the black version of green lantern but since they're using the white one he was a great choice. I think he'll do good in this and as a huge fan of the DC comics and Marvel and all of those I support the choice 100%



  51. 51

    Re: ProfTruth – Don't forget about Static Shock. xD Loved that cartoon.



  52. 52

    The hotness.



  53. 53

    Re: obbie doobie! – I think he is doing the Green Hornet…..so many superheroes so little time :)



  54. 54

    Re: St00p!d Bitchassness – ohkay, well im an american and i can say and think whatever i want.



  55. 55

    Re: obbie doobie! – I think he is going to be the Green Hornet



  56. 56

    loooooooooooove him



  57. 57

    YEEEEESSSSSSSSS I love RYAN! So two comic books heroes for RyRy huh, he's gonna be a superstar!

  58. Low says – reply to this


    58

    NO!!!! They can't go this to Green Lantern. Bradley Cooper was MUCH better.. he looks a little like Hal Jordan. But Ryan Reynolds?? With his voice and his tiny little body. It's a horrible, horrible casting and a step back for the movie.



  59. 59

    yes my sexy man!



  60. 60

    Re: DRAMA PRINCESS – omg i wish i have that nickname and that pic lol



  61. 61

    Mmm. I look good.

    I mean, really good.

    Hey, everyone!
    Come and see how good I look!



  62. 62

    I love ryan reynolds!! He's an excellent choice.



  63. 63

    hottie with a body



  64. 64

    YES!!! HE'S PERFECT FOR THE ROLE… not to mention he just a complete hottie!



  65. 65

    Re: Low – "his tiny little body"??? What are you talking about? Ryan Reynolds is a gorgeous 6'1" hunk of a ripped muscle!



  66. 66

    Re: cinamae – =/ What exactly does being American have to do with anything? I didn't go 'Well I'm a Trinidadian and I think your opinion is a little bit off kilter and possibly reflects on your stupidity and closed mindedness' Now did I? Just saying someone who ACTS as their career, that is, playing characters in movies, something that isn't based on reality can play multiple roles. Kinda retarded to think or even assume that they can't it is after all their job. Like going "Jonny Depp played a Pirate how can he be a barber now???" =/ Srsly



  67. 67

    Re: ProudParentof6Re: ProudParentof6 – Ohhhh ok!! thanks guy, got my greens mixed up!!!



  68. 68

    YAY!!! I love him!! He's so beautiful! I love Bradley Cooper too though. They are both gorgeous…. sigh….



  69. 69

    Perez — would you "rim" Ryan Reynolds ? Would you stick your HOT TONGUE UP HIS FIRM TIGHT BUTTHOLE ?

    Isn't that the gay Hollywood way to fame and fortune ? He's hot now, but in another ten years, FORGET IT !

    WOULD YOU, PEREZ ? TELL THE TRUTH NOW, GIRL !



  70. 70

    omg omg omg thank GOD!!!! ryan reynolds is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and hot… :D i loved him in the proposal :)



  71. 71

    PEREZ — USE THAT 'TALENTED TONGUE' OF YOURS FOR SOMETHING BESIDES SILLY AND MEAN GOSSIP !

    RYAN REYNOLDS ! PLAYTOY, BOYTOY LUST TIME !!



  72. 72

    PEREZ !

    UP and DOWN, and ALL AROUND !

    UP and DOWN, and ALL AROUND !

    UP and DOWN, and ALL AROUND !



  73. 73

    That's ironic cause Green Latern has an appearance in Iron Man 2 with his wifey ScarJo!



  74. 74

    Ryan Reynolds playing my first hero that I picked up in comics before I picked up Superman and Batman???? YES YES YES and Fuck YES he's the right guy to play Hal Jordan or Kyle Rayner for that matter. I hope its Hal Jordan because he's more intense than Kyle and he's also a test pilot with alot of demons.



  75. 75

    yay for a canadian!!!



  76. 76

    Re: St00p!d Bitchassness – the freedom of speech, american constitution, first ammendment BS is what she's talking about. you're welcome.



  77. 77

    hotness! love him



  78. 78

    sorry.
    ):

  79. gott says – reply to this


    79

    Should have been Nathan Fillion. I would have gone to see it then, but I may download it at a later date. I would have paid to see Nathan though.



  80. 80

    Ryan said he was going to be the green latern weeks ago when he was on Regis and Kelly. This is old news.



  81. 81

    BRADLEY COOPER would have been a better choice



  82. 82

    yumm!!!



  83. 83

    yo FUCK THAT!
    the green lantern is black.



  84. 84

    Isn't marvel comics going to be like.. pissed off by this? remember what they did to the guy who played Cyclops for appearing in the Superman movie (and he wasn't superman lol)



  85. 85

    Can Ryan Reynolds Be More Sexxier Damn he is Hot. & Cool he is a good actor :- ) Lucky Scarlett Johanson…….! I think i misspelled her name, well watever, ;-)



  86. 86

    hot



  87. 87

    The green lantern? talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel, I guess all the good superheroes were taken.



  88. 88

    He sucked in that wolverine movie, he sucked in the wesley snipes vampire movie, he just plain sucks.
    In interview's he reminds me of mathew perry's style of humour, dry and bland.



  89. 89

    WOOT! Freakin love Ryan!



  90. 90

    perfect choice!



  91. 91

    great choice! hes a cutie :]



  92. 92

  94. 94

  95. 95

    It amazes me how ryan reynolds has been years in the spotlight and noone could care the less and now he is a Sex symbol and it all.Bye bye jake gyllenhall.Easy to say those 2 men's careers have been profoundly affected by their love stories…



  96. 96
