Well, the film version of everyone’s favorite emerald ringslinger seems to be filling out their cast. Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) has been cast as Carol Ferris, Hal Jordan’s boss, on-again off-again lover and sometime Green Lantern foe, Star Sapphire. Not sure how great a fit that is, considering that she’s just 22 years old, compared to Ryan Reynolds 33 years of age. I keep having visions of Superman Returns and the 12-year old Lois Lane.

Word came today, though, that Peter Sarsgaard (Orphan, Jarhead) has been cast as GL foe Hector Hammond. Readers of the series know that Hammond was a private consultant who worked for Ferris Aircraft and had an odd fixation on all things Carol Ferris. Later, he was exposed to a meteor that granted him telepathic powers at the cost of a head so swollen and large he required gear to keep is head in place.

Green Lantern is schedule to hit theaters on June 17, 2011.
