Understandably, the rumors have some spectators nervous, with "Deadpool" co-creator Rob Liefeld already announcing on Twitter: "Bottom line about Deadpool film is that if FOX doesn't pull the DP film together with Ryan Reynolds between GL films-they should Hari Kari" and "Ryan Reynolds is the new Will Smith, if FOX can't maximize this window of opportunity with this star, this character, that script=MASSIV FAIL."
It's hard to disagree with the guy, really - Reynolds as Deadpool is a pretty ideal scenario for Fox and for fans. But for now, the possible death of Reynolds as Deadpool is just a rumor - and while it's certainly a bit more heated with a few extra warning signs to boot, this rumor is really no different than what many of us initially considered when Reynolds was announced as Hal in the first place. In other words, let's take a breath and relax. Maybe Reynolds will get to play Deadpool again and maybe he won't? For now, let's try and enjoy the "Green Lantern" ride and see where that takes us.
And, hey, the fact that people are worrying that an actor of Reynolds' caliber might end up starring in one instead of two comic book franchises is a pretty high class problem given where comic book cinema was a decade ago.
