Fan Casting Justin Hammer in David Hayter's Iron Man

Howard Stark's right-hand man and the architect of the conspiracy's machinery. A born arms dealer who has spent thirty years whispering in Howard's ear, Hammer is the true believer who translates philosophy into body counts. He arranges the theft of Tony's patents, oversees the global weapons network, and calmly explains the plan for worldwide conquest as if ordering dinner. Where Howard is the visionary, Hammer is the operator—ideologically committed, personally cruel, and utterly remorseless. He is the banality of evil in a tailored suit, and the conspiracy dies with him.
