I don't think Ryan is the right guy I mean he already played wade wilson(Deadpool)in Wolverine sometimes I would imagin myself in his place. So why would they have him as Green Lantern, the best superhero he should be playing is wally west also known as The Flash that would've been the right role for him trust me.
