Ryan Reynolds Gets ‘Flash’ed

Batman, Superman, Thundercats, JLA, now we’re talking the Flash. Apparently, IGN has an exclusive interview with Ryan Reynolds from the debut of the movie, The Nines in which he, in no uncertain terms, makes clear that he is definitely involved… somehow.

The site also has a video in which Reynolds dances around like a coy little fairy because “he doesn’t know if he’s allowed to talk about it.” However, Reynolds does know that he attaches well to the alter-ego and the character Flash, and he’d be honored to play them. How he’d know that? Oh, Probably because they plan to shoot in the next year. That would insinuate he’d seen opening scripts for the movie, or at least been pitched.

Most of the time that’s industry code for “I have the part, but I can’t talk because my contract has me on lockdown like a little bitch.” I really hope they go back and watch Blade: Trinity really closely. They’d see an over the hill black vampire, one Man/woman, and the worst male super hero actor in existence. All compliments to Ryan Reynolds because he has played some quality parts, but he’s not THAT guy. Not to mention that once you date Alanis Morrisette your man card is immediately and unconditionally revoked. He might as well try out for Mystery Men 2, because Justice League would never let anyone who’s been inside that hippy onto their crime fighting team.
