Reynolds himself has spoken out about his dissatisfaction with themovie but has also suggested that the experience perhaps indirectly led to his far more successful role as Wade Wilson inDeadpool , with the renowned " leaked " test footage being film onthe very same weekendGreen Lanternwas releasedin theaters .

Since theDeadpoolfranchise is produced by a rival studio , it would be easy for Warner Bros. to stand up by their own product and ignore the outflow of hate towardsGreen Lantern . As such , it ’s somewhat refreshing to see the studio apartment embrace the gag , as they did withanother tweetback whenDeadpool 2first hit theaters which state " we tried to put a ring on it . "
