![]() Only one obstacle remained-telling his parents. Day by day, the numbers were whittled down, until just thirteen of them remained-the cast. On the first day, there were 4,000 hopefuls. Ryan wasn't chosen, but he took the bus after school to the cattle call anyway. It was a Canadian production, and each local school picked its best four drama students to put forward. It was so acute that I really was able to jump into other people's skin." From vulnerability, opportunity: "When I was 13, I parlayed that passion into a means to escape."įifteen was a Nickelodeon series about 15-year-olds. I would watch people-looking for signs of danger all the time. I mean, when I was a kid, I felt like I was this skin-covered antenna. I hope this doesn't come off as corny, but it really helped me be an actor. I think I was very keen to preempt anything that didn't feel good. (Even as he set himself upon paths that inevitably would do so.) "I was a really nervous kid. "I feared disappointing my father more than anything in the world," he says. You know, get the fold exactly right on the bed, make sure there's no speck of lint anywhere." Ryan says that the punishments were rarely physical instead his father would use "silence as a disciplinary measure-very old-school."Īll of this had consequences. Sometimes it felt a little like a military barracks. After leaving the police force, he became a food broker: "I think he carried a great deal of stress on his shoulders, and he carried that stress home with him, too. Though Ryan describes his mother as "extremely present, incredibly caring, and ready to listen," his father clearly set the tempo and tone of family life. ![]() But the acting world, that whole stuff was just so foreign to him. Even if he was upset with me for a month at a time over some trivial bullshit, I would still see him standing in his trench coat over there at my football games in the rain. "Even if my father wasn't speaking to me, he would never, ever miss a baseball game. When Ryan started acting at school, it was not something he chose to advertise when he came home. "My family is as far from a stage family as you could ever possibly find," he says. This is a joke that contains within it something that is not a joke at all-not his failure to be a daughter, but his failure to always be the kind of son a Reynolds boy was expected to be. ![]() Krona already appeared in Green Lantern as the unnamed Guardian who was controlled by Parallax, but for Green Lantern Corps, he needs to be properly identified and implement a revenge plan against the Guardians for banishing him long ago and interfering with his experiments."For me," says Ryan, "they thought, Wow, it'd be great if we could keep trying and have a daughter." He pauses with intent. Whether he's relying solely on his intellect, is manipulating the emotional spectrum or has the powers of Entropy, Krona is not only one of the Green Lantern Corps' most dangerous enemies, but also a threat to the entire DC universe. For instance, remember that glitch that caused the Manhunters to wipe out Sector 666? Krona was the one who programmed in that glitch. His obsession with learning the origins of the universe, along with embracing all emotions unlike the stoic Guardians, resulted in his turn to the dark side to commit horrible acts. ![]() Krona is an Maltusian, the same species as the Guardians of the Universe, but while the Guardians usually look after the well-being of all life, Krona is focused on gaining more power for himself. Using the Sinestro Corps in Green Lantern Corps also opens the door to adapt Parallax, the fear entity, correctly this time around. So in his eyes, he sees his Corps as a force for the greater good, making them the perfect foil for the next Green Lantern movie. While most of the Corps are filled with despicable creatures, Sinestro sees his Corps as the only way to instill order throughout the universe, something he believes the Green Lantern Corps failed with. Using the same Qwardian technology that Sinestro has been using for years, the Sinestro Corps members' rings are powered by fear, and only individuals who are capable of instilling great terror into others are selected to wear such a ring. But why stop there? For the last decade, the Korugarian has been leading his own army of ring-slingers: the Sinestro Corps, a.k.a. Mark Strong's Sinestro never had the opportunity to fully cross over to the dark side, so Green Lantern Corps shouldn't wait on making their Sinestro a villain.
