Green Lantern: Ryan Reynolds Reflects On 'Green Lantern,' Uncertain About Sequel

MTV News caught up with the actor while he was promoting his next film "Safe House," and Reynolds opened up about how he looks back on his films, "Green Lantern" in particular.

For Reynolds, the key to working as an actor is the way he approaches completed films. It's more journey than destination. "I think it's very wise advice: never congratulate yourself too much, and never berate yourself too much. This is very sage advice," he said. "I look at moviemaking more as the experience than the outcome, which is by and large a pretty healthy way to look at it."

Reynolds described fixating on the final product as an ultimately unsatisfying activity. "If you're invested in the outcome of every single movie, you're bound to have moments where you aren't going to be as happy," he said. "I've had movies that were very successful that I wasn't happy with."

The actor's last superhero movie, "Green Lantern," was far from the out-right failure many paint it as. The film's decent opening weekend returns led Warner Bros. execs to recognize an audience for the film, and President Jeff Robinov has said he remains hopeful about a potential sequel.

Green Lantern: Ryan Reynolds Says 'Deadpool' Movie Is 'Coming Along

Earlier this week, Ryan Reynolds expressed some uncertainty that he'd be able to star in both "Deadpool" and "R.I.P.D.," two upcoming comic book movies in which he's attached to the lead role. With "Green Lantern" on the horizon and his new thriller "Buried" set to debut in a few weeks, the actor certainly has his work cut out for him — but does that mean we won't see him reprise his role as Marvel's mouthy mercenary?

"We'll see," said Reynolds when asked if the "Deadpool" movie was still in the works. "It's in development like the other films."

Green Lantern: Ryan Reynolds Talks 'Green Lantern,' But Who's The Mystery Alien?

"Green Lantern" star Ryan Reynolds is a magazine cover boy yet again — which is appropriate at a time when the actor’s charms are being utilized for critically praised and/or huge-profile projects as opposed to the under-the-radar comedy and horror films that formed the foundation of his early career.

One of those high-profile projects is of course, “Green Lantern,” which Reynolds just happened to be in the midst of filming when GQ visited the set for a profile of the actor. Describing Reynolds in the midst of a scene, the magazine may have revealed an alien guardian we could see at a vital point in the film.

The report also paints a picture of what Reynolds may be doing in that horrible suit — and the mysterious Lantern who joins him in the film.

“This afternoon a newly empowered Green Lantern meets two aliens who will train him in his new powers and role," reported the magazine. "Everything is shot against a blue screen with orange letters dotted over it. One of the aliens is played by a man on stilts. Reynolds cowers on the ground in his gray dotted one-piece as the man on stilts leers toward him.”

Who could it be? As the foremost trainer of new Lantern recruits, Kilowog could require a motion actor to simulate his towering size by standing on stilts. Or are the stilts meant to imitate something more stilt-like — possibly the long lanky appendages of Corps member Salaak?
