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.
