Here is the recent video interview with the actor, courtesy of MTV Splash Page. Nothing too revealing here, but it's clear that Reynolds has a good grip on the do's and don'ts of successfully bringing a comic book character to life on the big screen.



"This one is particularly challenging because you want to get it right for so many people coming in with a built-in expectation. It's one thing to do it for a film when you're inventing a character that nobody's heard of. That's great. It's another when you're reimagining a character that people have known for decades. So that's not an insignificant challenge."

"You want to come in there and bring them something that is truly memorable and is exactly what they want blended with exactly what I want, because I am the guy that's got to do it. It's exciting. There are challenges."

"This is a guy that goes from a reckless, walking mishap to a guy with a higher calling, and he really rises to that occasion and experiences real humility and purpose for the first time in his life. That's a story I think a lot of people will gravitate toward."


With an all star cast which includes Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, Blake Lively as Carol Ferris and Mark Strong as Sinestro, director Martin Campbell's Green Lantern is set to be released in 3D on June 17, later this year!
