Ryan Reynolds speaks on the future of The Flash!

The Flash was way back in February on the weekend I dubbed "Black Saturday" when not only did David Goyer leave The Flash but Joss Whedon also gave up the reigns to Wonder Women. Both guys had spent years trying to get those respective projects off the ground and they both claimed it was because of differences with Warner Brothers that they had to pull out. A couple of days later Night at the Museum helmer Shawn Levy was said to be on board for The Flash and the indications were the film would be go quickly into development. Since then it's come to light what is really going on over at Warner Brothers. As first reported three weeks after Goyer left The Flash and now it's recently been confirmed... a Justice League of America movie is in development which could and probably will begin production early next year and be released as soon as the summer of 2009. Back when Goyer was handling The Flash, there was one name who was constantly attached to the project... Ryan Reynolds. A fine actor, who has recently shown his chops in Smokin' Aces after a couple of years stuck in the romantic comedy flux. Personally, I think he's perfect for The Flash just as I think he would make a damn fine Captain Kirk. IGN have a little clip from an interview he did promoting his upcoming flick The Nines when the question of The Flash and the JLA movie came up. He sounds very keen. If I were WB, I would snap him up straight away, it's very rare you get an actor who is perfect for the role and one that absolutely loves and knows about the character who wants to do the part...
