Comic-Con: Blake Lively Calls Use Of Earth And Space In 'Green Lantern' 'Unique'

Ryan Reynolds likes his "Green Lantern" costume, and his co-star Blake Lively likes the tension she gets to be a part of as his love interest and rival Carol Ferris. The "Gossip Girl" actress teased that she looks forward to becoming a "villain" during the San Diego Comic-Con "Green Latern" panel, and she thinks the relationship between Hal and Carol will buck Hollywood trends by having her save him on occasion, but she also thinks "Green Lantern" will stand out among superhero films thanks to its settings on Earth and in outer space.
"Yeah, you do get to see outer space — that's what's so nice about it," Lively told MTV News. "You know, in superhero movies it's either in a specific city on planet Earth or in space, but the fact that you get to go back and forth is something that's a unique thing that you haven't seen in many movies."
As for her character's relationship with Hal Jordan, Lively also enjoys their onscreen competition.
"She's [Hal Jordan's] boss," Lively said. "She's also a fighter pilot. She's only second to him; they're the number two fighter pilots in the world, so she's also his rival, and so it creates a really interesting dynamic and a cool tension."
