According to Comic Book Guy (we all got one in our neighborhood), at the San Diego Comic Con, the movie Deadpool was put on hold by Ryan Reynolds because the Green Lantern role he was holding out for was greenlighted. So, the main topic was whether RR would finish his Deadpool commitment before starting Green Lantern or go with GL and skip Deadpool altogether (rumor has it that because Gambit has got the greenlight for a feature film that Gambit might steal Deadpool's thunder); whereas, GL and Gambit do not compete for the same fans. When I threw into the mix the Beacon/RJ/RR story, Comic Book Guy said that that was not even discussed as an option at the SD Con. When I mentioned that Beacon was waiting to see how The Proposal did before moving forward with the RJ project, he said that the same thing was said about the GL project. So, we both shrugged, I paid for my comics (Tales Designed to Thrizzle Vol. One, and Captain Trips Graphic Novel), and went to work.
So, I saw The Proposal. It did above average money-wise, but it was Sandra Bullock's movie; RR didn't add much to the movie, so I don't see how anyone could measure which role RR is going to take based on this movie. But things don't sound too good for RJ--especially when Comic Book Guy doesn't know the haps on our main Man.
