Comic-Con 2010: Green Lantern – Ryan Reynolds Recites The Oath


With three weeks of principal photography yet to go, director Martin Campbell revealed the first teaser trailer for Green Lantern at Comic-Con (as soon as it’s online we’ll have it for you). During the panel, Ryan Reynolds said that he saw Hal Jordan as a mixture of Chuck Yeager and Han Solo, which seemed like a guy that he really wanted to play in a movie… or two or three. Check out some video of the Green Lantern panel and an interview with Reynolds on the carpet at Comic-Con below.

Comic-Con Panel: GREEN LANTERN

Comic-Con: Ryan Reynolds Interview

Synopsis:

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris, if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Tim Robbins, Temuera Morrison, Angela Bassett, Taika Waititi, Jay O. Sanders and Jon Tenney.

Green Lantern is slated to hit theaters on June 17, 2011.
