I have to say I didn't see that one coming, Hammond isn't really that well known. Still, it will be cool to see him a in film, let's hope they get him right.

Sarsgaard is pretty good. Hector Hammond on the other hand, is a joke character.

Their probably going with a Hammond who doesn't have his powers and giant head yet. I imagine he'll be depicted as the creepy doctor with an obsession for Carol and who is somehow involved in an evil scheme.

That's a character I can see Sarsgaard playing no problem. I love it when quality character actors get supporting roles in these movies.

I really like Sarsgaard. Glad to see him getting more mainstream roles.

Very nice choice for Hammond.

Good to see this movie nearly complete it's primary casting.

That's how it kind of was in the script I read. I just think regular DCU Hammond is weak. Script Hammond was ok, not great, just ok.

Now let's see who they get to play Sinestro, the Guardians and the rest of the Corps.
