Green Lantern | Dr Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard)

Sky Showbiz has posted the first image of what appears to be Peter Sarsgaard‘s Hector Hammond in Warner Bros. Pictures’ Green Lantern.

Like most DC villains, Hector Hammond has seen several iterations over the years. In the 2008 Green Lantern: Secret Origin (a re-telling of Hal Jordan’s first days as a Green Lantern), Hammond is a private consultant for Ferris Aircraft and while inspecting Abin Sur’s crashed aircraft, is affected by the meteorite fragment in its reactor. We wouldn’t be surprised to see the filmmakers use this plot device, as it would tie all the origin elements together economically in a more cohesive story.

The first on-set photos of Ryan Reynolds at work on the first day of the Green Lantern shoot in New Orleans have gone online at DCUmoviepage and Comic Book Movie.

Hal Jordan (Reynolds) introduced in 1959, a second-generation test pilot, is an ordinary man who was given the power ring and battery (lantern) by a dying alien named Abin Sur. When Abin Sur’s spaceship crashed on Earth, the alien used his ring to seek out an individual to take his place as Green Lantern: someone who was “utterly honest and born without fear.”
