Every Ryan Reynolds Movie You Can Watch On Netflix

Reynolds has quite a storied history of playing complicated military veterans who are unexpectedly recruited into superheroism. In addition to becoming Wade Wilson for "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and the smash hit "Deadpool" films, Reynolds also took on the title role in the 2011 superhero action film "Green Lantern."

Based on the eponymous DC comics character, "Green Lantern" features Reynolds as Hal Jordan, an arrogant test pilot who's chosen by a power ring to join the Green Lantern Corps as a guardian of his sector after the demise of his alien predecessor. Not only does he struggle with the training process for this strange new gig, but he also faces a particularly deadly new foe in the fear-harnessing villain Parallax, who threatens to destroy Earth with the help of a possessed human who has some powerful connections. Hal must not only become the Green Lantern, but he'll have to convince the others of his ilk that his home planet is one worth fighting for.

In addition to boasting Reynolds' signature charms, the film also features an all-star cast, including Reynolds' future wife, Blake Lively, along with Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, Tim Robbins, Geoffrey Rush, Taika Waititi, Michael Clarke Duncan, Clancy Brown, and more.
