If him being King in Blade Trinity was any indication, he'd be one of the awesomest Deadpools ever conceived. :D

Deadpool all the way. The Wayde moments in Wolverine to me were some of the best. Not only does Deadpool deserve his own spotlight, but I think Ryan Reynolds can do him excellently.

I would say Deadpool.

One, he has already played the role in the Wolverine movie. He hasn't played Hal Jordan/Green lantern.

Plus in more recent TV shows when the Green Lantern is played, he is now black. This trend is fine for me even though I remember when he was white.

For the green Lantern I see this guy being a better pick. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0252230/

BTW, Hal Jordan is the white Green Lantern. John Stewart is the black Green Lantern. Both of them are Green Lanterns ... at the same time. They even have a Green Lantern fight.

ummmm that's not Hal Jordan, that's Jon Stewart, they are both Green Lanterns. there is also Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner and Alan Scott

Ryan is playing Hal Jordan who is white.

i think Ryan will do great in both roles as both of them are cocky assholes. if you read a bunch of stuff with Hal, he's rather cocky, so Ryan will fit the role quite well.

i just hope they don't mess up Green Lantern

Deadpool for sure. Although I always felt Deadpool would be better off as a live action HBO series than a movie.

Oh and by the way, that guy you mentioned was awesome in Serenity, he could pull of Green Lantern easily

Ryan Reynolds is made for Deadpool. His every other acting bit was Wade Wilson in different settings anyway.

I'd agree, except that it wasn't his fault. He was a great Wade Wilson, but he couldn't stop the studio/script/etc's bad choice of making Deadpool into... that.

FOr what he had, he did spectacularly. Give him better material, and he'll probably do better.

I apologize if I was rude, as it was not my intent.

Deadpool. I never had much interest in Green Lantern, and Ryan Reynolds is a badass, just like Deadpool.

No, no, no! I totally understand that it was the studio that fucked Deadpool up. I was just saying that he shouldn't have to leave that image of Deadpool in the minds of the movie-goers.

Thanks for the corrective info that there is a difference between black/white Green Lantern. I did not know this. I never read the comics. I rely on my knowledge of the 1970's vs. more recent Justice League cartoons.

Either way the black one is fine (if not prefered by based on what I have watched). Would anyone disagree that the actor I pointed out from the IMDB link would be a good Green Lantern. He was awesome in Serenty. A very good actor in general.

To others that have pointed out the black/white diff. I will let this post speak for the reply of the others.
