Ryan Reynolds Says He'd 'Totally' Cameo in HBO's Lanterns

The remark reframes his 2011 Green Lantern as a formative experience, signaling openness to limited DCU tie‑ins.

Overview

  • Ryan Reynolds told Entertainment Tonight Thursday that he would “totally” do a cameo in Lanterns and said he “owes [his] entire career” to the 2011 Green Lantern film.
  • Reynolds stressed any return would not replace Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, so a cameo would likely be a different, smaller appearance rather than a reprise of his original lead role.
  • Lanterns is airing weekly on HBO/HBO Max as a grounded, noir‑style take on the Green Lantern Corps that stars Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre and plans connections to the wider DCU.
  • Reynolds has long mocked the 2011 movie in Deadpool films but now describes the project as a learning experience that helped shape his career and approach to big studio work.
  • The actor is developing Deadpool 4 and is not listed on the Avengers: Doomsday cast list, so any Lanterns cameo would be a limited, standalone appearance dependent on scheduling and creative choice.
