Green Lantern = Deadpool?

So, apparently according to Variety, Ryan Reynolds will be playing Green Lantern. This by itself is great news, however those of us that want to see Reynolds play Deadpool again might have some hesitation about this casting.

Reynolds has proven that he can pull off a myriad of roles with his parts in Blade Trinity, Smokin’ Aces, Waiting, The Amityville Horror, The Proposal and Van Wilder, but his portrayal of Deadpool in the beginning of X-men Origins: Wolverine was extremely well received (not so much the end though).

Deadpool is officially getting his own movie and Reynolds is attached to it. With it having a projected release date of 2010/11 and Green Lantern targeting 2011, what does this mean for the casting? Does his casting as Green Lantern (an argueably bigger role) prevent him from playing the Merc with a Mouth again?

Personally I would rather see him in a full length Deadpool movie. If he gets to play both that would be fantastic, but I wouldn’t be surprised if DC and Warner forced him to pull out of the Deadpool movie to allow the Green Lantern casting.

No news has surfaced yet, but being a big fan of Reynolds really has me wishing the best for all parties involved (I.E. Give me a Deadpool movie).
