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

Honesty, the movie wasn't that bad. I don't see why people hated it so much.

I could see Gunn making it work - he did with Suicide Squad

"Ryan, you should revive the Green Lantern! Hahaha jk... Unless...".

I didn't find it all that bad. Regular popcorn movie, however, I'd be all in if Gunn is involved.

Same. Plus it had one of the best lines ever in a superhero movie

I've known you my whole life! I've seen you naked! You don't think I would recognize you because I can't see your cheekbones?

Same. I don't get why it's so hated.

It holds up better that his first Deadpool appearance.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that IF Ryan Reynolds were to reprise the Green Lantern role, it would probably be way too close to being a noble Deadpool variant in green. That said, (hot take / spit-balling and probably dumb idea incoming) maybe what both comic universes need at this point to spice things up is more crossover events that aren't just jokes. What if one of the Deadpools actually got a lantern ring somehow?

Yeah, it's hard not to think of Deadpool every time I see his face. Lol
