GREEN LANTERN: The Sequel

[Hirogen]

Bring Reynolds back, make Sinestro the villian, don't throw out everything from the first movie. Glad to hear that WB is interested in a Green Lantern 2.

Pretty good place to start.

Pretty good place to start.

Sure is! It's where they left off.

That's why it's a good place to start, but you know as well as I do that doesn't always happen.

Unless they're introducing another Lantern, not sure it could be Green Lantern 2 without Reynolds as Hal.

Ever since Ruffalo endeared audiences with his turn in The Avengers, all the studios are talking recastings like they are no big deal, even Marvel Studios.

Recast Hal, make Sinestro the villain, throw out 80% of the first movie. Glad to hear the WB is interested in a Green Lantern 2!

 

[CelticPredator]

NOOOOOOO!!! Don't make this movie until 2020.

Deadpool first!

In this case I think they could get away with it since Reynolds didn't really endear himself to many as Hal.

With RDJ as Tony Stark, recasting there would be catastrophic. He is that character in the public consciousness.

The interesting thing is Reynolds is still in the sequel clause for GL2 under his original contract so if they make this then he'll have to bow out of Deadpool unless 20th Century Fox decides to delay that film (although Liefeld claims it's further than even the studios says) but if they drop him, he'll have that block open which was contained.

That has to do a lot with the fact that 1: People love RDJ anyway and 2: He is the only one who has played him. People have the same knee jerk reaction to Hugh Jackman being recast. It'll happen sooner or later, as long as Feige is studiohead he is more interesting in recasting and continuing ala James Bond than rebooting.

It's too ____ing bad they don't see that as the one-in-a-million winning lottery ticket it was.

 

[The Mike]

Absolutely.

Although given how many people Reynolds has NOT endeared himself to (I thought he was fine in it) it might be a lightning strikes twice deal there.

Yup, the film made $238mil at the box office. That's not chump change. So he endeared enough people to pay that much to see him as GL.

 

[CelticPredator]

You guys will probably get this GL2 flick. I will never get my Deadpool movie.

I think both movies will definitely happen. Most likely Deadpool first, with GL piggybacking off of it's success.

Don't get me wrong, I liked him as Hal, having seen him in multiple films past, he was toned down definitely in this flick compared to the others but the biggest complaint of the film I saw was him so knowing executives they might simply blame him.

I remember reading that he was so booked up that it was either GL2 or Deadpool and that when the recasting of Deadpool talk started. I remember Seann William Scott was even being shopped around as a possible replacement by a lot of outlets.

Yeah, I know you agree. And you're right. Hollywood tends to blame the talent. God forbid they have to hold themselves accountable for their own actions.

Yeah, I don't think I could buy Stiffler as Deadpool. Reynolds is THE perfect star. He wants to do it. If they have to wait, in the end, it'll be well worth it.

He definitely has the smart ass part of the role down pat. For one of his more serious roles I thought he did a decent job in stark raving mad.

Actually, I think the comedian from the Mad Men episode who made all the fat jokes toward the executive's wife would be the perfect Deadpool.
