Reynolds will do RIPD or Deadpool – Not likely Both

With Ryan Reynolds rapidly filling dance card, he was asked during an interview about his current film Buried that once Green Lantern was in the books would he hit up RIPD or Deadpool next. His answer is not what fans wanted to hear.

io9 quotes:

Neither [is] next. I shoot a movie called The Change-Up next. It’s kind of like an R-rated comedy, and right after that I start on a thriller called Safe House with Denzel Washington. And then, after that is where one of those two movies will hopefully fall.

But you don’t know which one yet?

People sort of ask this question, like I have any say in the matter. They’re both movies I’m interested in, they’re both movies that are in fast-track development. But I never say I’m doing a movie until I break for lunch the first day. Because it’s such a crapshoot, this industry. Everything’s so fickle and so contingent on so many factors, aside from just an actor. And because it has an actor, and because these films have interested directors, it’s obviously likely that they’ll both get made. But I think it would be more likely that only one of them gets made with me.

I was worried something like this was going to happen.

This guy’s plate is just a little too full. Like the chubby guy at the all-you-can-eat buffet who doesn’t seem to grasp the concept that you can come back and get more food.

Something has to give. RIPD looks like a great concept, but if he has to sacrifice one for the other I hope he doesn’t do that one, and does Deadpool. He was perfect as Wade Wilson and would be a perfect Deadpool.

If he doesn’t do Deadpool, I worry about the guy they DO pick for the role. That guy is going to have some really funny and charming shoes to fill.
