Much before Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds starred in the Superhero flick, Green Lantern, but was reluctant to return to that character again.

&#8220;When you don&#8217;t really know where you&#8217;re going with it&#8221; &#8211; Back When Ryan Reynolds Explained Why He Was Reluctant to Star in &#8216;Justice League&#8217;

Ryan Reynolds [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/] may now have learned
the ways of the big screen, but he was once a student and did make a few
mistakes and a few other poor decisions. Along the lines comes his 2011
superhero flick, Green Lantern. The most Warner Bros could make out of that
movie is a beautiful couple Hollywood boasts about till the very date. But apart
from that, it was seemingly a bad decision from both ends.

Notably, some two years later, news surfaced that Green Lantern is one of the
heroes Warner Bros has shortlisted for their upcoming (going to be a blockbuster
hit) movie, Justice League. They had already confirmed the return of Superman,
Batman, Wonder Woman, and Flash. The actor behind the superhero in concern was
reportedly contemplating, rather he was reluctant to return to the character.

The reason you ask? Well, it was a very genuine one indeed. Reynolds told Empire
Magazine [https://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=36899] that there is
no point in returning to a character if one cannot click with him the way comics
fans do. “Working on Green Lantern, I saw how difficult it is to make that
concept palatable, and how sort of confused it can all be when you don’t really
know where you’re going with it.”


And although Reynolds did not appear as this superhero, he did take up the role
of Deadpool and that went on to become a grand success.

After the third installment of the superhero flick, the two will reportedly work
on another comedy, Boy Band. It seems like the two cannot stop working with each
other. If time allows, Levy will both produce and direct the movie. The Canadian
actor has notably penned the movie alongside Jesse Andrews and will probably
start working on it after the shooting for the upcoming Deadpool flick is done.
