MTV chatted with Green Lantern actor Mark Strong, who played Thaal Sinestro in the film. Below you’ll find some quotes from Mark about the character, the post-credits scene and his thoughts on a GL sequel. Slight spoilers for the now 2 year old movie ahead.

 

Strong’s view on the Green Lantern film now.

 

“I really like ‘Green Lantern,’…I don’t have a problem with it at all. But it just didn’t seem to do anything at the box office or it didn’t do what they were hoping it would do at the box office. I think that more than anything, economics, dictates whether or not they make another one.

 

“I think it’s a real shame,” …I loved making ‘Green Lantern’ and I loved playing Sinestro and I was really excited about the direction that he was going to take in the second one.”

 

Strong on the post-credits scene featuring Sinestro donning a yellow power ring:

“A lot of people seemed to be confused by him putting on the ring at the end of the movie, ….They felt that it came out of nowhere. All it was, during the credits, there was a sequence which was a nod to where the trilogy was intending to head to. It wasn’t ever meant to be part of the story of the first film.”

Strong on the chances of a GL sequel:

 

“I would be surprised if they made a second one because I’ve heard nothing about it in quite a while now… What that standalone moment was intended to relate to was where the movies were headed and that, for me, would have been very exciting because the putting on of the ring and the whole suit turning yellow would have been great fun.”
