Warner Bros. considering dumping Ryan Reynolds for next Green Lantern movie?

I say go for it.  Like Dave said in his blistering review, Ryan Reynolds was the weakest part of the entire film.  He just doesn’t come across as anything other than a sleazy good looking guy who’s only interest really is in hooking up with every chick on the planet.  Honestly, that doesn’t really say Hal Jordan.

Actually, now that GL is out of the closet, that might make Reynolds an even worst cast, if that were possible.  I’m not saying you have to cast a gay actor, but Reynolds seems to have a certain straight typecast going on.

Something else mentioned in the article I read is about Warner wanting to work with creative talent that “gets” the character.  I couldn’t be more pleased to hear that.  I honestly think this movie really missed the mark, and based on how poorly it did worldwide I’m not the only one.  They need to stop hiring guys who know how to write movies for the general population and hire guys who know how to write comic book movies.

Anyway, I’m sure Ryan Reynolds will do fine in his next movie.  Maybe Van Wilder II, since that is pretty much the only movie he seems capable of doing.
