While on the red carpet last night at the MTV Movie Awards, Ryan Reynolds - who portrays Hal Jordan in the close-to-release
Green Lantern film - took some time to (sometimes jokingly) explain the props of Abin Sur and the Lantern that were displayed last night at the event. While it's mostly stuff that we fanboys are very familiar with, it's pretty interesting (and sometimes funny) nonetheless.
MTV has the following...
"That's Abin Sur," Reynolds said of the corpse of Hal's predecessor, the purple-skinned Green Lantern whose ring finds its way to Hal's finger. "I don't think he's going to make it."
"I can give you an exclusive right now: under this blanket he's going commando," joked Reynolds.
All funny business aside, Reynolds offered a quick refresher course for anyone wondering about the other Green Lantern prop on the red carpet.
"In the movie Green Lantern, this is in fact the lantern," he explained. "This is the lantern my character Hal Jordan uses to power his ring, which in turn powers his suit and allows him to make feats that are beyond human understanding..."
Green Lantern soars into theaters June 17th!
