Ryan Reynolds Talks Superheroes & Googling

Ryan Reynolds is anxious to get to work on both of his upcoming superhero roles. He'll star as DC's Green Lantern and also as Marvel's Deadpool. He shared some limited information with Jimmy Fallon:

“[We’re] four, five months away from beginning shooting,” he said of “Green Lantern.” “It’s the only job I’ve ever had that I’m not allowed to talk about. I think there’s a representative from Warner Bros. who I’m sure is following me around, ready to blow-dart me if I say a single word.”

It must be hard to not be able to give anything away. I would slip up at some point! All he could share is this tidbit:

“A lot of it is a space epic, some of it is on planet Earth,” he said, explaining the abilities of his character, Hal Jordan, come from a potential-filled power ring. “The ring can create anything his will or imagination can conjure up.”

I wonder if there's any superhero rivalry going on at home? LOL Since he'll be doing these two and Scarlett is also jumping into her own lycra costume as the Black Widow in Iron Man.

Ryan also talks about looking himself up online and shares a few sites he found:

“I found a couple of Web sites that are real – one was, ‘Make Ryan Reynolds your beyotch.’”

Can you imagine finding a site like that about yourself? He also found BeatingRyanReynolds.com, which is dedicated to beating Ryan's New York City Marathon time.

“He’s basically running the marathon only to beat my time, but the kicker is, he’s doing it for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, so he’s actually a stand-up guy in my opinion,” Ryan said, explaining that he had also run the marathon for the charity.
