Ryan Reynolds has jokes, especially when it comes to a joke of a movie he once made with his wife, Blake Lively ! Reynolds and his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star, Hugh Jackman , took part in Vanity Fair 's lie detector test series and Jackman couldn't help but bring up the sore subject that is Green Lantern . The 2011 DC Comics film, starring Reynolds and Lively, was a colossal flop. So much so, Reynolds has gone on the record to say the film was " pretty bad .
" And on the back of such disappointment, the studio scrapped a sequel. And with the Marvel Comics film already making a splash in theaters , Jackman wondered if Reynolds had watched Green Lantern with his family. Reynolds had not, and there's about a million other things he'd rather do than watch that film.
"I would actually, genuinely, rather watch just a f***ing 24-hour marathon of Paw Patrol ," he quipped. "But I have not watched it as a family. My kids have seen the trailer.
" That being said, Reynolds says he watched it during the pandemic -- after he blitzed through everything that every streaming platform had to offer. "During that time I'd finished Netflix, finished HBO Max, finished every streaming platform that exists. I had watched all the f***ing Bob Ross specials in backwards, even, by the way, which is a shot-for-shot remake of The Exorcist , and time to watch The Green Lantern , yeah," he said.
"I will say, a little drunk. That's also truthful." It's true.
The man conducting the lie detector test confirmed Reynolds was being truthful. By the way, the lie detector test got off to a hilarious start, when Jackman -- in an effort to test the lie detector's accuracy -- asked Reynolds if he's married to Blake Lively. "Yes," he answered, prompting Jackman to ask if the marriage is an arrangement.
"Well, it's a 25-year contract, so sure," Reynolds responded. But the lie detector test revealed Reynolds was "deceptive" about that answer! Deadpool & Wolverine 's official synopsis reads, "Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth, Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.
" The film is directed by Shawn Levy and also stars Deadpool newcomer Emma Corrin, as well as returning stars Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams and Karan Soni. Deadpool & Wolverine is now in theaters. RELATED CONTENT: Video Movies News News.
