Make all the double entendres you want about Ryan Reynolds flashing people or apparently being as quick as a flash. Whatever the case it now seems set, the DC comics character "The Flash" is definitely making a comeback and the man behind it wants his "Blade: Trinity" star in the part. Move over John Wesley Shipp it seems.
In an interview with Moviehole, Director David Goyer confirmed that "Warner Bros, and they came to me and said ‘You did a great job on Batman [Goyer wrote the "Batman Begins" script], the next big one we want to get up and running is The Flash or Green Lantern – are you interested?’. I said I would love to do The Flash. I think there’s a lot of cinematic possibilities that nobodies ever done. I’m interested in really pushing it, and dealing with relativity, so near the end of the story he’s going to be like arriving before he left, and all sorts of weird and cute little stuff"
Goyer confirmed its going to be a lot lighter than his work on "Batman" or "Blade" and will be using the character of Wally West. Casting wise "There’s nobody yet, I’m just writing it, but I would love to have Ryan [Reynolds] play Wally West".
Reynolds himself was asked about the possibility to which he replied "If that were to come to fruition it would depend on a lot of things, but one of them wouldn’t involve auditioning. Wally West is a guy that likes to have a bit of fun in his life, he’s a little bit sarcastic, a little bit acerbic, but I’d love to inject a little bit more heart into Wally. I think it’d be really cool. I mean David explained the story to me –wow, Holy Shit. His rough story for The Flash is just fucking mind-boggling. I hesitate to say its one of the best script stories I’ve heard for a long, long time. So yeah, if it were to come to fruition I’d be very excited".
