Ryan Reynolds talks ‘Green Lantern’ issues, fallout from ‘Free Guy’ and his relationship with Hugh Jackman

Ryan Reynolds was the keynote speaker at London’s Just For Laughs comedy festival, where the ‘Deadpool’ star became the center of attention at a talk and subsequent Q&A where some fans raised various issues : the status of the ‘Free Guy’ sequel, the ‘Green Lantern’ fiasco, and her relationship with Hugh Jackman.

Far from cowering at the assistants’ thorny questions, the actor answered. The first topic he addressed was the situation of the various promised sequels to ‘Free Guy’, of which no other details are known a year after his announcement. This, coupled with Reynolds’ new statement, makes these movies seem hanging by a thread: “‘Free Guy’ has the potential to make a sequel, which would be fun, that’s something I’d love but I also think… Does everything have to have a fucking sequel?. I don’t know, sometimes it’s okay to make a movie, make it big, and everybody goes home.”commented the protagonist before voicing his problem with the sequels: “There’s a bit of a push and pull here, I’m feeling the urge to immediately say, ‘Oh, we need to do a sequel to validate the first'”which he quickly refuted: “It’s not that, the first movie validates itself, so you can leave it there, so I don’t know, let’s keep talking about it”says Reynolds confirming it new movies are still airing.

Continuing with the agenda and the punctilious questions, ‘Lanterna Verde (Green Lantern)’ also occupied space and time in the speech. Twelve years after its theatrical release, Reynolds talks about the bad drinking that happened to see the final result of his superhero for the DC Universe: “You know…sitting there at the premiere watching it…OMG that was hard […] I had a strange feeling, it’s not something I wanted to repeat.”, comments on his feelings watching the movie which only made $219 million at the box office according to Box Office Mojo, with a budget of $200 million. On the economic level, it is where Reynolds’ gaze focuses to discover The biggest mistake of this movie: “There were too many people spending too much money instead of saying, ‘Okay, let’s stop spending on special effects and think about character, how do we replace this great show, which doesn’t work at all, with something based on character?'”, He wondered. Despite everything, Reynolds did not leave the production with a bad taste in his mouth, the protagonist underlines the good synergy that occurred during the filming: “185 people worked on the film, they all had a great time, we really enjoyed filming it, the shooting was really fun”Reynolds points out the positive part.

The last of the points raised by the actor of ‘The Proposal’ was probably the one that intrigued the fans the most: her relationship with Hugh Jackman, with whom he plays enemies while being very close. As soon as the master of ceremonies’ name comes up in ‘The Greatest Showman’, Reynolds’ laughter sets in: “Everyone expects me to gut Hugh Jackman, but I will say he was one of the first movie stars I worked with in 2007, on an absolutely flaming piece of shit called X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where he was. impressed It’s his that was so kind, one of the first people I’ve seen, at that level, treat the supplier the same way as the director, producer or studio head, he treats them all the same”Reynolds pointed out.

Reynolds and Jackman meet again

Not to like the sequels, Reynolds is about to start recording the third part of “Deadpool”, produced by Marvel Studios and the actor’s production company, Maximum Effort. In ‘Deadpool 3’ Wade Wilson (Reynolds) will share the screen with Jackman, in the return of Wolverine to the big screen.
