Ryan Reynolds on 'Green Lantern's' CGI suit and the 'ultimate fanboy'
What the Deadpool costume may have on the ring bearers' vision
Ryan Reynolds at Comic-Con
Ryan Reynolds is paying attention to what the "Green Lantern" fanboys and fangirls are saying on the forums, but he often finds a wealth of inspiration from the "ultimate fanboy" on the forthcoming film's set.
Speaking to HitFix at San Diego Comic-Con, the leading man said comic writer Geoff Johns has been on hand throughout production helping to form the one, two, three and more Green Lanterns to appear in the flick.
Johns has surely been a help, too, in construction the Green Lantern's all-CGI suit, for what Reynolds calls an "iconic" comic book character.
"[The suit] is a physical manifestation of the ring bearer's will and his biology," he says, admitting that while he may not have a costume to hang up in his closet at the end of the shoot, he's willing to sacrifice it for the fans.

July 25, 2010 at 3:14PM EST Reply to CommentI don't mind a CGI suit. The concept makes sense to me and I'm eager to see it in action. I'm actually glad they didn't go with the original costume. It's not sacred and this isn't a comic book, it's a MOVIE.
