Ryan Reynolds Watched Green Lantern For The First Time And Live-Tweeted it
He got through it with a little liquid courage.
Ryan Reynolds has finally seen his superhero movie Green Lantern — 10 years after its release.
It’s no secret that Reynolds, 44, hated the Martin Campbell-directed movie, which was a hit with neither fans nor critics.
“Let’s call a spade a spade,” he once said during the Deadpool press tour in 2016. “That was a challenging movie to make because the studio said, ‘We have a poster and we have a star, we don’t have a script, but let’s start shooting [anyway].’”
Reynold’s disdain was so strong that he even threw in a scene in the end credits of Deadpool 2 showing the Merc with the Mouth travelling back in time to murder Reynolds as he read the Green Lantern script.
But on Wednesday (Mar 17), to mark St Patrick’s Day as well as the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Reynolds decided to give Green Lantern a chance — by live-tweeting himself watching the movie.
But he had some help from Aviation Gin, which is produced by the liquor company he owns.
“Excited to see the Snyder Cut,” he wrote. “But ahead of its debut — and with the aid of a good amount of #AviationGin — tonight at 6pm EST I’ll do something I’ve never done: actually watch Green Lantern. Happy #StPatricksDay”.He even added a recipe for Lantern’s Light, a drink specifically concocted for the movie.
