When Ryan Reynolds took the stage for Green Lantern at Comic-Con last week, he seemed a comfortable sort in front of 6,500 fans. However, now that he’s back in New Orleans filming next summer’s big comic book movie, he’s also back in a motion-capture suit that is not overly fun to be running around in or to be wearing while getting thrown into harnesses for on-screen flight sequences. “Really, if I were wearing anything, it’s going to be pretty uncomfortable doing an action movie at his time of the year in the Deep South. I can’t be too hard on the suit,” Reynolds says. He’s already been dinged up a smidge, but that’s to be expected. “You want to be able to stay out of the hospital for as long as you possibly can during the shoot,” he quips. “But it is a Martin Campbell movie, so you’re bound to be there once or twice. Martin once described it as a knife fight in a phone booth, and that’s a really apt description: It’s rough, it’s dirty, it’s fast and you’re got to be ready for it.” Check out a clip below of him describing his “Cinderella element” having to do with his Green Lantern facial accessory, and click here for his description of his character, pilot-turned-superhero Hal Jordan.
