Ryan Reynolds: Nerdage’s # 6 actor
Ryan Reynolds lands at No. 6 on Nerdage’s list of actors with geek appeal. He’s currently filming “Green Lantern,” based on the DC Comics hero, in which he will play Hal Jordan, the fearless test pilot who becomes intergalactic guardian Green Lantern.
That’s not Reynolds’ only comic book movie role; he’s set to star in RIPD, based on the Dark Horse Comic, and he played Deadpool in 2009’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” It’s been announced he would reprise the Deadpool role in a film based on that character.
In 2004, he played another Marvel Comic character, Hannibal King, in “Blade: Trinity.”
In between all the comic-book films, he also found time to co-star with Sandra Bullock in the romantic comedy hit “The Proposal” in 2009. He’s also the “imaginary” superhero Captain Excellent in the film “Paper Man,” which opened in limited release in April.
