When it comes to superheroes, there are certain actors come to our minds without
thinking too much about it. However, the interesting part is that almost every

of the DC Universe, Ryan Reynolds wishes to play another iconic character that
everyone loves dearly.

THESE ARE THE CHARACTERS RYAN REYNOLDS WISHES TO PLAY

During the panel discussion of Deadpool 2, amongst everything, Ryan expressed
his will to portray an exemplary character, Wally West aka The Flash. However,
there are different versions of The Flash that already exist. The Deadpool actor
also wanted to be the poster boy for the character. In 2011, the actor joined
the DC Universe as the lead in Green Lantern

At the discussion, expressing his wish, Ryan said he would like to play
Wolverine, but it would be terrible. “Honestly, I wanted to be the Flash, the
Wally West version, but I think all of those ships have sailed,” said the actor.
No matter what character he plays, Ryan Reynolds will always be amazingly
remembered as our favorite Deadpool.
