Well, okay not really the Corps, but he’s in the film and cast as Senator Hammond, the father of Hector Hammond who is portrayed by Peter Sarsgaard (cast last month). The Green Lantern cast has been filling in rather nicely with gossip girl Blake Lively set to star opposite (as Carol Ferris) Ryan Reynolds, who is set to bring Hal Jordan to life on the big screen.
So it looks like daddy issues will play a role in the (I’m assuming first) film’s villain (a psychic powered Hammond), with GL’s most famous villain, Sinestro, playing a role much like the true origin, in which he is actually the greatest of the Lanterns (and Jordan’s instructor). Mark Strong was said to be in negotiations for that role.
Seems like a solid cast thus far with more to come, and soon, as THR is reporting filming starts next month in New Orleans, and director Martin Campbell previously revealed that we’d also have Kilowag, Tomar-Re, and Abin Sur in the film.
We should see Green Lantern next Summer and we’ll be back with any cast updates!
I am a huge GL fan. It looks like they might be doing this right. We will see in 2011, I guess.
