Speaking to
MTV, Ryan 'Hal Jordan' Reynolds says that the 'space-epic nature' of
Green Lantern is what attracted him to the film. He also yet again compares the film to
Star Wars (are there any other films it can be compared to?!), saying that he grew up with those kind of films.
When asked what separates his movie from the rest of the pack, Reynolds replied, “For me, what attracted me to it most was the space-epic nature of it. I just loved that you had this film that was an origin story, that’s not really starting in the third act like a lot of them do.”
Reynolds compared his upcoming debut as Hal Jordan with another well-known, space-based movie franchise, saying Green Lantern has "that Star Wars feel.”
“I grew up with movies like that,” he said. “I love movies like that. So just to be part of it was mind-boggling.”
Green Lantern hits theaters June 17th, a week from tomorrow!
