"To go on a great wide open set like Green Lantern, run around for six or seven months playing a superhero was pretty great," he told
The Press Association while being interviewed about his new movie,
Buried. (the story of a US contractor in Iraq who wakes up to find himself buried six feet under, with a cell phone, a lighter and nothing else.)
"It's a real classic kind of guy," Reynolds went on to say when quizzed about portraying a character like Hal Jordan in contrast to a darker character like Batman.
"It's the guy who can throw a punch, kiss the girl and tell a joke. That's something I'd love to see on screen again, and I hoped it's embraced for that kind of spirit."
The actor finished by saying that,
"You can't be intermittently clenching your jaw muscles in place of emotion. You've got to be having a little fun with it, too."
Green Lantern is set to be released on June 17, 2011!
