Ryan Reynolds Lands Lead Role In The Green Lantern

JUL 11, 2009 AT 07:49 AM

When I asked the question earlier this week about who you'd want to play the lead role in 'The Green Lantern', Ryan Reynolds was not the top pick. Sorry to disappoint - but the actor has just signed the deal.

I thought he was great as Deadpool in 'Wolverine' and seeing him shirtless on the big screen is like an early Christmas present isn't it? Slow motion please!

Before Ryan starts product with Warner Bros. on the DC Comic inspired film, he will first shoot 'Buried'.

The actor will next star in “Buried,” a dark indie drama that will begin filming shortly in Barcelona with Spanish director Rodrigo Cortes. Reynolds will play a civilian contractor who is kidnapped in Iraq and awakes in a coffin, struggling against time to coordinate a rescue even though he doesn’t know where he’s buried in the desert.

Sounds crazy!

I think he's definitely more versatile than the other two. I think they made the right choice.

I think he'll do ok. Bradley Cooper would have been my first choice, but he's ok too.
