Sources have it that Ryan Reynolds will not be caught in the Green Lantern suit until WB is good and ready to show it to us.
That’s because the “suit” he is wearing on set is a mocapture bodyglove which will be replaced with the suit later. So Reynolds himself will not be wearing the suit. Ever.
That’s right. No suit. When I was first told this info, I didn’t believe it. I actually didn’t even consider it as a real possibility. But the information I’m about to reveal has since been backed up by two other independent sources. I stand by this information 150% — this is legit. I risk my reputation on it. Ready for it? Okay…
The suit that Ryan wears on set is a grey tracking motion/performance capture suit with led lights.
This helps keep the fan shots from leaking to the internet, and the technology exists that will make it realistic enough that we wont get the Toon Lantern and Reynolds looking so obviously fake. And the transition from “real costume” to CGI guy flying in the air costume will be smooth.
I am intrigued that they did this, but considering they actually had a SUIT that Robert Downey Jr wears for his Iron Man appearances with the mask up, would it have really been that hard to put Reynolds in some Green Pajamas?
