Ryan Reynolds has embarked on something he’s never done before – watching Green Lantern.
The 44-year-old actor decided to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by viewing the movie in its entirety, all while sipping on a new drink he’s dubbed Lantern’s Light, that’s made with his gin brand, Aviation gin.
“It’s apparently the only f***ing movie in existence that’s not streaming anywhere so you’re SOL if you want to watch along,” Ryan shared with his fans before the event took place. “But I’m going deep. #GinnerAndAMovie #AviationGin.”
“I only ever read my parts of the script so this is genuinely exciting for me to watch,” he started off, just moments of the movie getting started, and added that the “protagonist seems reckless but likable.”
At one point in his viewing, he even poked fun at his now wife, Blake Lively, being part of the movie before complimenting the entire cast, calling them incredible.
Hey @BlakeLively is in this movie!!

Ryan also dedicated his watching Green Lantern to recent Grammy winner, director and co-star Taika Waititi.
I swear I’m drinking to Grammy winner and international ambassador of joy, @TaikaWaititi. Not to numb any pain I might be in.

HBO Max has officially given the greenlight to a Green Lantern series!
The television series will be based on the popular DC Comics property, which was previously turned into a 2011 movie starring Ryan Reynolds.
The series will be co-written and executive produced by Seth Grahame-Smith and Marc Guggenheim, with the former serving as showrunner. Marc co-wrote the 2011 movie and he previously was the showrunner of DC shows Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow.
Variety reports that “the show will depict the adventures of a multitude of Lanterns, including Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz and Alan Scott — Earth’s first Green Lantern, who, true to the comics, is a gay man — and many more.”
The series will also “introduce new heroes to the ranks of the Green Lantern Corps.”

“Rumor has it that,” one photo is captioned, while another reads, “I am fully committed to suiting up for this adventure.”
There has been no casting announced for the Green Lantern film, which is set to be released by Warner Bros. in 2020.
