We all know that Green Lantern wasn't exactly the highlight of Ryan Reynolds' career - and he's certainly taken the piss out of himself for it.

However, in a new clip, he gets teased about the 2011 superhero movie by his new Free Guy co-stars – and honestly, what's better than being ripped by Villanelle and Steve Harrington?

In a new promotional video for the upcoming movie, Reynolds is joined by co-stars Jodie Comer (Killing Eve), Joe Keery (Stranger Things) and Taika Waititi (Thor: Love and Thunder).

As they talk about working with each other, Ryan and Taika say that this is the first time they have collaborated, quickly forgetting that they actually co-starred in Green Lantern.

Jodie and Joe note that the pair actually starred in the flop movie together, with Ryan and Taika trying to dodge the subject by bringing up other "green"-related movies, before quickly disappearing off set.

Yeah, best not to bring it up.

Last year, Ryan revealed that he had never actually seen the much-maligned movie, explaining: "Look, I've never seen the full final version of Green Lantern. I saw a very late stage rough cut of the film.

"Now, that isn't to say that I didn't want to see it because I didn't like it," he continued. "I have movies that have been received pretty well that I haven't seen, and then I have movies that I have seen 100 times that people don't like but I just like.

"The Green Lantern [joke in Deadpool] to me is just sort of, I don't know, kind of fun. It's me just taking the piss out of me, but it's more Wade [Deadpool's real name] though."
