Ryan Reynolds and Warner Bros. unveiled a new poster and an extended trailer for “The Green Lantern” at the WonderCon movie convention this weekend.
Reynolds plays the role of Hal Jordan, an Air Force pilot turned superhero, and the second person in the DC Comic book’s history to wear a power ring which is one of the most powerful weapons in the universe, granted to worthy wearers by the Guardians of the Universe.
Reynolds says he wasn’t too familiar with the character going into the role, but what drew him to it was the transformation. “It was having this guy who is arrogant, cocky and reckless and could be given a higher calling and really rise to that purpose and, in that process, find it humbling. I though that was really, really interesting. That transformation that happens early on in the film is really great. This guy that really has to make the effort. He has to do something with his life in a huge way and, in turn, saves countless other people’s lives.”
The Green Lantern helped found the Justice League of America, along with Superman and Batman, a plot which works well for Warner Bros. plans for a film version of the team of superheros.
