Ryan Reynolds hurt on 'Green Lantern' set

Ryan Reynolds is playing a superhero in "Green Lantern," but he's a mortal just like the rest of us -- and has the bruises to prove it.

Reynolds was injured this week on the set of "Green Lantern" in New Orleans. According to Us Weekly, he separated his shoulder on Monday (July 12) while filming a scene for the comic-book movie and is "in lots of pain," as people tend to be when they separate a shoulder.

"He's been keeping ice on it," a source tells the magazine.

Still, the injury isn't considered overly serious and isn't expected to disrupt production on the movie, which Martin Campbell ("Casino Royale") is directing. Reynolds is also Entertainment Weekly's cover boy this week, giving fans a first look at him in costume as Green Lantern/Hal Jordan. (Verdict: pretty good.) Warner Bros. is unveiling a first look at the movie at Comic-Con on Saturday, July 24.

"Green Lantern," which also stars Blake Lively ("Gossip Girl"), Peter Sarsgaard ("Knight and Day") and Mark Strong ("Sherlock Holmes"), is scheduled for release next summer.
