Key Takeaways
- Ryan Reynolds declined James Gunn’s joke offer to reprise Green Lantern, responding with humor.
- Gunn’s new Green Lantern series features different actors and is focused on Earth.
- Characters from past DC projects like The Suicide Squad are moving to the DCU, upsetting some fans.
As a long-time fan who has witnessed the rollercoaster ride that is DC’s cinematic universe, I can’t help but appreciate the humor and wit displayed by none other than Ryan Reynolds in this latest development. The man, who once donned the infamous Green Lantern suit, had the perfect comeback when James Gunn, the new creative mastermind of DC Studios, jokingly offered him another chance to reprise his role.
An actor from one of the worst DC movies had the perfect response to James Gunn’s tongue-in-cheek offer to reprise their role in the DC Universe (DCU).
Ryan Reynold’s portrayal of Green Lantern remains one of the most notorious failures in the DC Universe. A disaster both with viewers and financially, Green Lantern continues to be a source of humor, even joked about by Reynolds himself. Consequently, it’s understandable that Reynolds wasn’t enthusiastic when Gunn reached out to him following his appointment as the chief creative mind behind the revamped DCU franchise.
In a chat on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Gunn and host Josh Horowitz discussed the lack of successful live-action Green Lantern adaptations while promoting their animated series Creature Commandos. Horowitz humorously warned Reynolds he might face retaliation for stating this, but Gunn shared that Reynolds was one of his initial contacts after becoming co-CEO of DC Studios. Gunn recounted how he asked Reynolds if he’d be interested in reprising his role as Green Lantern, to which Reynolds reportedly responded with a blunt, “Get lost,” though Gunn emphasized that the invitation wasn’t genuine.
Ryan seemed uninterested [Laughs]. One of the first individuals I spoke with after landing the job was Ryan Reynolds. I playfully asked, “Are you returning?” To which he responded, “Scram!” I should clarify that I wasn’t genuinely asking him to return.
Instead, the DCU’s Green Lantern series features Aaron Pierre as John Stewart and Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan. As stated by Gunn, this Lanterns series is rooted in reality, taking place on Earth, a choice that has sparked some discontent among fans who hoped for an exploration of the cosmic aspects of the DC Universe. However, in conversation with Horowitz, Gunn justified the creation of a grounded Green Lantern series, pointing out that many stories from the Green Lantern comics also unfold on Earth.
As a dedicated gamer diving into the DC Universe, I’ve got some exciting news! Although James Gunn may have been joking when he suggested Ryan Reynolds could reprise his Green Lantern role, it seems characters from past DC projects like The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker (previously part of the DCEU) are now officially a part of the DCU reboot. That’s right, Xolo Maridueña is set to return as Blue Beetle in an upcoming animated series!
