SAN DIEGO — It's only been six and a half months since the world was introduced to the idea of Blake Lively as Carol Ferris, the romantic interest of Ryan Reynolds' Hal Jordan in "Green Lantern". But Lively used her time well, becoming well-versed in her character's mythology and backstory. Her enthusiasm over her role shone through at San Diego Comic-Con, where she shared some details about her character with MTV News.
"She's [Jordan's] boss and she's also a fighter pilot," Lively said. "She's only second to him. They're the [top] two pilots in the world. So she's also his rival, and so it creates a really interesting dynamic and a cool tension."
Lively, best known for her work on "Gossip Girl," is making her first foray into superhero films with the "Green Lantern" role. She has had Reynolds' support since she was cast, but her appearance at the "Green Lantern" panel on Saturday (July 24) should cement fan support as well.
One of the aspects of the film that most excited Lively was the way its setting moved between Earth and outer space. "That's what's so nice about it," she said. "Superhero movies, [you're] either in a specific city on planet Earth, or in space. But the fact that you get to go back and forth [in 'Green Lantern'] is a unique thing that you haven't seen in many movies."
