Mark Strong talks GREEN LANTERN Easter Egg after credits scene

Green Lantern opens in theaters everywhere this Friday. Mark Strong, who plays Sinestro, recently spoke to Crave Online while doing press for the film. During the interview, Strong talks a bit about Easter Eggs and the after credit scene.

Here is what Strong had to say about the Easter Egg safter credits scene:

That was shot speculatively, I think. There was an idea that there would be an introduction of the idea that the yellow ring corrupts him. Perhaps it was felt in the body of the film, it wasn’t the right time to introduce it. So actually the thing to do is introduce everybody to the mythology and the story, and then give them that little taste. Certainly the fanboys who know about it will be excited, and anybody else, at least they have an opportunity of understanding where it could go from here.

He goes on to talk about how he prepared for the role of Sinestro:

I couldn’t do any research on aliens. I don’t know any aliens, so I didn’t know what kind of a guy he was. All I could do was use human characteristics, and it was very obvious to me he’s a kind of military commander-type figure who is very wary of this new Lantern and feels like his priority is the Corps, and if this guy’s going to be the weak link in the Corps, then he’s going to have to do something about it. The way he’s drawn, it’s a muscular drawing, you have to try and bring an element of that to the way you play him. That’s what I tried to do.
