Zack Snyder’s Justice League
is well underway in its production, with the director hinting at its progress by talking about
Superman’s role in the film
and its positioning
as an “Elseworlds” story
in the DCEU. One of the looming questions coming out of the initial release of
Justice League
was the inclusion of a brief Green Lantern cameo and how this may have related to
the phrase “Unite The Seven”
used in some marketing materials. New rumors seem to suggest that this may be addressed in the Snyder Cut.
Several rumors have also circulated about the possibility of Ryan Reynolds making appearances in the DCEU, either by returning as a familiar character or taking on a new role altogether.
One of these rumors
indicated a possibility for Reynolds to reprise his role as Green Lantern in a cameo appearance for
Zack Snyder’s Justice League

A recent rumor then claimed that
Ryan Reynolds would be appearing as the Carter Hall incarnation of Hawkman in the upcoming
Black Adam
. It was also stated in this rumor that Charlie Hunham and Michael B. Jordan were being considered for the role, should Reynolds not take it.
Reynolds has now addressed these claims on Twitter, denying one and seemingly teasing the other…

Ryan Reynolds has
taken to his social media
to deny the rumor that he would be playing Hawkman in
Black Adam
.

The
Green Lantern
actor followed this up by stating that he would like to play a part in
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
, and also acknowledged his awareness of rumors that he may be in the film. This is likely in direct reference to his rumored appearance as Green Lantern.
I’m not playing Hawkman in Black Adam. Although I generally do whatever the hell @TheRock tells me to do. I would however love to be in Zack Snyder’s Justice League movie and I’ve heard I may already be in it? #SnyderCut
WHAT THIS MEANS
Ryan Reynolds is known for joking around on his social media platforms, often using his Twitter to poke fun at his other celebrity friends or make other humorous remarks. Therefore, it is very possible that Reynolds could be commenting on these rumors as a joke to keep up this persona.
However, the fact that Reynolds did not outright deny the claim that he may be making an appearance in
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
is telling, given the context of the rest of his statement. It would be unusual to deny the Hawkman rumor in seriousness and not to deny the other, so it is possible that Reynolds is subtly hinting that fans can expect to see him in the film in some form.

Even though Reynolds is seemingly uninvolved in the
Black Adam
project, this does not completely deny the initial rumor. Reynold’s lack of involvement does leave room for the other actors listed to take his place, if the rumor is to be believed. Alternatively, this extra piece of information may have been included to safeguard the rumor’s supposed legitimacy, so it is best to take it with a large grain of salt.
Fans will have to wait to see whether Ryan Reynolds suits up as Green Lantern when
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
releases on HBO Max in 2021.
