Ryan Reynolds is Still "The Flash"

Since 2005, Ryan Reynolds has been rumored to play the DC Comics superhero, the Flash. Unfortunately, Reynolds has stated that the film "isn't something that I can imagine happening."
Now, MTV News got the chance to catch up with him, and apparently the film is still on. "No, the Flash isn't dead at all. There's talk of it being a [Justice League of America] movie," Reynolds admitted. "And then there's other talk of doing a Flash movie with ['Night at the Museum' director] Shawn Levy."
As far as his interest in playing the character: "I'd love to do it, it's just making it feasible," he contended. "It's a lot of money and it's a very difficult character to represent. You can't just have [the Flash] be a blur running by. These days people need to see more than that."
Granted superhuman speed, the Flash was a masked identity assumed by four different fictional characters in the comic canon, the most famous and longest-running of whom were Barry Allen and Wally West. Of the two, Reynolds seems most a match for the sarcastic West, but the 30-year-old actor says that his ideal "Flash" movie would have both.
"I'd like to see both Barry Allen and Wally [in a film]," Reynolds said. "I think they're really interesting characters, both cut from the same cloth."
