We were really lucky to work with them on this sort of project. They take these big films and they could just make a lot of money off of them and do a fine job, but they really - if you look at the Harry Potter or the Batman franchise - make movies that are actually really great films and not just big movies that make money. is a company that really makes their films with such integrity. So with that kind of attention to detail - if it was down to the shade of my hair - you can imagine how it was in the world of Green Lantern in the suits, in the Corps, in the world of Oa.

It’s also really exciting that I didn’t know anything about it because then, you know, my nephews don’t know anything about it. Very serious people who don’t geek out often. I’m on the set with a ton of New Yorkers. I imagined that no one else in the world knew anything about Green Lantern and, as soon as I got the role, I was quickly humbled by how naive I was. Lively: No, I actually knew nothing about Green Lantern. Q: Did you know much about Green Lantern heading into this project?
