Ryan Reynolds. He works out. 

MTV named Ryan Reynolds the “actor they’re most thankful for.” Okay. While I certainly appreciate the many charms of Mr. Reynolds, I might go with another choice, but fair enough. The good news is that they talked to him about his upcoming projects, including “Green Lantern” and “Deadpool.”

Here’s Reynolds on whether his Deadpool cameo in “Wolverine” and whether it worked:

I think the initial moment of the sequences that involve Wade, I think it did. It’s always difficult to fully embrace something that isn’t perfect, in terms of staying true to the source material. So it was a little bit frustrating. I really wanted to play Wade, and I really wanted to play Deadpool, and it would kill me to see someone else play them. I had a kind of ham-fisted attitude that it had to be perfect, but it doesn’t. The movie’s called “Wolverine,” it’s not called “Deadpool” or “Wade.” I thought it was a nice little wink and tip of the hat to things to come. Finding the tone of that character alone is such a difficult prospect. I’ve been in so many meetings lately about “Deadpool” and meeting all these writers. Everyone is always looking for that one line, “What is that character?” and for me it’s kind of like, “There’s a guy, and he’s in a highly militarized comedic fame spiral.” That’s not an easy thing to write — an entire screenplay, let alone a franchise. I had a blast playing Wade. Every line I had in that was stuff I thought he would say. It wasn’t something that a writer said to me. It was fun to really create that character, including everything he spits out of his awful mouth.  

Well, there’s nothing better than a wink and a tip of the hat. And about Green Hornet?

I think, seeing the prototypes for the Green Lantern costumes was a huge moment. It was a moment when I was like, “This is happening, and it’s happening in the right way.” That’s a pretty cool, definitive moment for me.

I imagine that is one thing that must be a wow moment for an actor, seeing that you actually are getting to be a superhero with a real costume and everything. He does say a more, actually, about Green Hornet, but I can’t paste it all. Fair use and all that. So check out the rest of the MTV interview here.
