Still, Green Lantern was Reynolds’ first starring role as a superhero, so despite not being well-received, it still was more prominent compared to the previous two Marvel appearances.
The first Deadpool movie threw in a dig at his time as the Emerald Knight when Wade Wilson asked that his super suit not be made green or animated.
Obviously this is just a little fun being had between two competing companies, but if we really want to get into the finer details, then let’s not forget that Ryan Reynolds was affiliated with Marvel long before he boarded Green Lantern.
First he appeared as Hannibal King in 2004’s Blade: Trinity, and though we try our hardest to forget it, he debuted as Wade Wilson in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
