Last July we learned that Ryan Reynolds has been cast as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern in the big screen adaptation of the classic comic book series and just this week we learned that Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) has been cast as love interest Carol Ferris and that filming will reportedly get underway in March. Today we learn that Peter Sarsgaard, aka Mr. Maggie Gyllenhaal, has been cast as supervillain and Green Lantern nemesis Dr. Hector Hammond … who is known for his powers of telepathy and his trademark “colossal cranium”:

The Hollywood Reporter tonight broke the word that actor Peter Sarsgaard has been cast in Warner Brothers Films’ adaptation of DC Comics’ “Green Lantern” landing the role of Hector Hammond, the movie’s first major villain who is best known to comic fans for his colossal cranium … Originally in the Green Lantern comics of the ’60s by John Broome and Gil Kane, Hammond was a grossly exaggerated figure whose massive head granted him telepathic powers after coming into contact with a strange meteor. The villain was recently revived by writer Geoff Johns, particularly in the “Secret Origin” arc of “Green Lantern” where Hammond beings as a possible suitor Carol Ferris, the eventual girlfriend of hero and test pilot Hal Jordan. Sarsgaard’s casting makes the third actor to sign on for the project set to hit theaters June 17, 2011. Both Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are already on board to play Joran and Ferris respectively under the direction of Martin Campbell. However, casting lists indicate that the film will also feature the villain Sinestro when it finally bows in theaters. Written by Greg Berlanti with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green with a rewrite by Michael Goldenberg, “Green Lantern” is set to begin filming this March in New Orleans.

Excellent, excellent casting. As you can see in the side-by-side photos of Sarsgaard and the comic book villain Hammond that they look very similar. I seem to recall that Dr. Hector Hammond‘s head was even bigger than it appears in this graphic so I wonder just how big they’re gonna go with Sarsgaard‘s head. I’m glad to know that the villain Sinestro (who ultimately becomes Green Lantern‘s main nemesis) will be introduced in this film … my guess is that he will be introed at the end of the film must like the Joker was introduced at the end of Batman Begins and Moriarty was introduced at the end of Sherlock Holmes. All this Green Lantern news is great … I can’t wait to hear and SEE more!!
