Ryan Reynolds on Green Lantern and Deadpool

November 25, 2009

MTV talked to Ryan Reynolds, who said that a highlight of 2009 for him was seeing the prototypes of the Green Lantern costumes. "It was a moment when I was like, 'This is happening, and it's happening in the right way.' That's a pretty cool, definitive moment for me." Here's an excerpt from the interview:

I've known about "Green Lantern" my whole life, but I've never really followed it before. I fell in love with the character when I met with [director] Martin Campbell. When I sat down with him, I really got what it is that this guy is all about. When you have a guy like Martin Campbell, part of his charm is that he has ba--s of titanium, and the other part is that he's slightly crazy, and you have to be to take on something with the scope of "Green Lantern." He's less of the director and more of a general. He just really knows strategies, he knows the intricacies, and his attention to detail! It's infectious. I sat down with him, and I could not even believe what he was saying. When I went to the meeting, I was entirely cynical. I thought, "What the hell, I'll see what they have to say," and I left the room with a completely different perspective.

He's a horrible actor. He's a one trick pony---but Martin Campbell is a really good action director---so he may be able to hide Ryan's weaknesses.

Green Lantern is going to sound a wee bit strange with Ryan Reynolds' lisp:

In brightetht day, in blacketht night
No evil thhall ethcape my thight
Let thothe who worthhip evil'th might
Beware my power, Green Lantern'th light!

I would have prefered him in the role of the Flash, but I will still enjoy seeing him in the role of Green Lantern
