James Gunnsays he jokingly asked Ryan Reynolds to return as the Green Lantern after he and Safran were put in charge of the new DCU.
“Ryan doesn’t give a sht [Laughs]. One of the first people I talked to after getting the job was Ryan Reynolds. I’m like, ‘You coming back?’ He’s like, ‘Get the f** out of here.’ I’m joking! I wasn’t really telling him to come back,” Gunn said on theHappy Sad Confused Podcast.
The Green Lantern is, of course, coming to Gunn and Safran’s DCU in the form of a TV show titled Lanterns. The upcoming series will be a “True Detective-style” take on the DC hero withKyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, who is tasked with mentoring a younger Lantern, John Stewart (Aaron Pierre). They find themselves investigating an earth-bound murder that has much…larger implications.
Lanterns does not yet have a release date. Creature Commandos, the first official DCU TV series, is streaming now on Max. For more, check out our guide to all theupcoming DC movies and showsyou need to know about.
