'Green Lantern' pic: Hammond and Pal Jordan

There has been a deluge of some pretty fantastic new pics from the most highly anticipated comic book movies. well, ever. Last week we saw a new picture of Chris Hemsworth from Thor, the first picture of Andrew Garfield in the Spider-Man costume sans mask, a few cool new shots of a geared up Chris Evans from Captain America: The First Avenger. This week has served up a number of exciting new X-Men: First Class photos that, minus the photoshopped cast pic, have been met with warm reactions online.

Then Warner Bros. offered up the picture above from Green Lantern featuring Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond with Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan. This one feels like weak shot of a set of better photos. I do like the creepiness of Sarsgard who looks to be a pre-mutated Hector but it would have been nice to get a shot with a little more punch. Who am I to complain though? We already have an awesome teaser trailer and that cool Entertainment Weekly cover to fawn over.

Green Lantern lights up theaters on June 17, 2011.
