If cast, Reynolds will have beaten fellow candidates Tom Hardy, Zac Efron, James McAvoy and Shia LaBeouf to the coveted role.

The project, which has Daniel Espinosa attached to direct a script by David Guggenheim, is housed at Universal and will join Reynolds’ list of upcoming projects which currently include Green Lantern, R.I.P.D and Deadpool.
