You don't have to settle for being the mercenary with a mouth if you can also be the hotshot with the power ring.
Actor Ryan Reynolds (Blade: Trinity, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) is reported to have been cast as Hal Jordan in the upcoming movie adaptation of DC Comics' Green Lantern.
And I don't mean to imply it's a better part for Reynolds by my use of the term "settle" in the first sentence there. I'm only saying that Lantern is a movie role from a script by Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim that I have heard more than a few positive things about.
Meanwhile, the "Deadpool" project is still a story under construction as a spinoff based on the character Reynolds played in Wolverine -- the notorious merc with a mouth.
Heck, if this estimated $200 million flick comes through, Reynolds will have portrayed at least three characters based from comics in the movies. Two of those characters could have lucrative film franchises.

And for those who wanna know, the comic characters are Hannibal King, Deadpool and Green Lantern.
