Ryan Reynolds has long been the rumored front runner to play the popular DC Comics superhero The Flash in a big screen adaptation. But the project quickly fell to the wayside. Reynolds now tells MTV that he might put on the red tights for the Justice League of America movie:

“‘The Flash’ isn’t dead at all. There’s talk of it being a JLA movie, the Justice League having them all together. And then there’s other talk of doing a ‘Flash’ movie with [director] Shawn Levy,” Reynolds told MTV. “[it] might, yeah. I don’t really know how much I’m allowed to talk about that stuff. But I’m sure they’ll figure out something. It’s no secret that they have a JLA script and it’s a project that’s in development – the contents of which, who knows. We’ll see. I’d love to see a full on Justice League movie done, the scope of which is just enormous. I think it’s something they can pull off.”

So maybe the project is being fast tracked into production after all…
