James Gunn Reveals Ryan Reynolds’ Answer To Potential ‘Green Lantern’ Return


With 'Lanterns' coming to HBO, DC boss James Gunn commented on the possibility of Ryan Reynolds reprising his 'Green Lantern' (2011) role Hal Jordan.

“Ryan doesn’t give a s—,” said Gunn of the 2011 Martin Campbell-helmed DC movie on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. Reynolds’ response should come as no surprise after the credits scene of Deadpool 2(2018) saw his titular mercenary go back in time to shoot the actor in the head before he had a chance to accept the starring role of Hal Jordan in Green Lantern. Although Green Lantern flopped critically and commercially, with a 25% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes and $237 million at the global box office, Reynolds ultimately met wife Blake Lively on the film, so it wasn’t a total loss.
