James Gunn Addresses The Rumors Regarding Ryan Reynolds Returning To The DCU

A while ago, there had been rumors about the return of Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern in the DC Universe. These had been floating around before Deadpool 3 had been confirmed and had since then been disregarded. However, the question remained of whether or not he would return to the role. When questioned by the fans, James Gunn‘s reply was that the character would very much be involved within the franchise sometime in the future. Although, when that would happen was not stated.

Rumors even curtailed that Reynolds was going to come back for the role had Zack Snyder still been a part of the franchise. To this, Gunn very simply replied with the fact of how that was never going to happen and Ryan Reynolds is far from interested in returning as the character. Especially after he has openly mocked his role and the movie as well. He told the fans that Green Lantern is not a priority for him and neither for the actor, who is extremely happy to play the part of Wade Wilson successfully.
