GreenLantern director Martin Campbell reveals the one good thing that came from his 2011 DC movie: Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively meeting.
Green Lantern director Martin Campbell has reflected on his critically maligned DC outing and has celebrated the film’s one true success. Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynolds as the test pilot Hal Jordan, who is selected to become a member of the intergalactic Green Lantern Corps.
Taking almost 14 years to develop, high expectations for the film were ultimately let down, with audiences criticizing the film’s writing, poor use of CGI, and departures from the original comic source material. Since its 2011 release, even Reynolds himself has constantly heaped scorn upon the film, even famously making Green Lantern jokes in his two Deadpool outings.
Reynolds and Lively would eventually go on to marry in September 2012, and the pair currently have three daughters together. While Green Lantern ultimately failed to achieve what Warner Bros. hoped it would, with the studio later scrapping plans for a planned sequel in response to fan backlash, it is great that such a positive still managed to rise from the wreckage of the film.
The future of the Green Lantern franchise is also far from being crippled by the legacy of the 2011 flop. While plans for the big screen Green Lantern Corps film set within the DCEU have been stagnating since 2015, Berlanti is producing a HBO Max Green Lantern series, which will focus on the Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz, and Alan Scott versions of the character. With these facts in mind, perhaps 2011’s Green Lantern film is not as big a failure as some would like to believe.
