Ryan Reynolds
Thank God for Wade Wilson. I love Ryan Reynolds, but he has the worst luck with comic book adaptations.
2011's Green Lantern almost shuttered the DCEU in its infancy and killed off any Warner executive's desire to make a fun movie. It was also awful. And while he did his best, Reynolds was the wrong choice for Hal Jordan, and no CGI costume was gonna save him.
He also co-starred in the graphic novel-based R.I.P.D., another critical flop and box office bomb that you probably don't even remember existed. He played Nick Walker, a dead NYPD officer who becomes a ghost cop with his cowboy ghost cop partner.
Reynolds also popped up in the least-liked Blade movie, Blade Trinity, as vampire hunter Hannibal King. Even his first turn as Deadpool was in the dreadful X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a movie that, to quote my girlfriend, "Nobody asked for, but everybody got."
But all was redeemed by 2016's Deadpool, a movie that was awesome and let Reynolds finally have some fun in the performance he always deserved to give.
