Yet, with the i’s still waiting to be dotted and t’s crossed, along came that manufactured home known as Warner Brothers to scoop up the hot hero actor.

It was announced this week that Reynolds beat out Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper, among others, to land the lead in Warner Brothers’ upcoming GREEN LANTERN, to be written/produced/directed by Greg Berlanti, Mark Guggenheim and Michael Green. Martin Campbell will handle the behind-the-camera duties and shooting starts in January in Australia.

Did Reynolds oust himself from the Deadpool movie with this move? Or is the Green Lantern role a step up? It’s an interesting move, to be sure, and one that ensures Reynolds will have a premiere hero role in his future.
