Green Lantern's nemesis

Peter Sarsgaard goes big time as 'Green Lantern's' nemesis

The Emerald Crusader already has his love interest, Blake Lively, and now he's got an adversary for his big screen debut. Peter Sarsgaard (acting is ho hum but still pretty solid) is joining the cast of Martin Campbell's "Green Lantern" as the evil Dr. Hector Hammond. The disappointing son of a U.S. senator, Hammond gains telepathic and telekinetic abilities after he discovers a mysterious meteor. Ryan Reynolds is already on board as Hal Jordan, a test pilot who finds a dying alien who bestows the ring of the Green Lantern Corps, making him the new guardian of Earth's sector. Blake Lively was cast as Reynold's love interest, Carol Ferris. Its looking better and better.

Most likely as a member of the GLC.

I'm just wondering if Reynolds can lend this role enough dramatic weight to keep it from feeling like a comedy...

Well, he did have Deadpool...uhhh dead on. However the man can't resist a smart remark or two or three or....*sigh*. I hope I'm wrong but I think the movie will end up being funnier than should be. My only recollection of Hal Jordan was that he was a serious test pilot and a no nonsense GL. He only approached Bat-Man's seriousity (i made that up) after his hometown was destroyed.
