Wittrock who is known for his role in the American
Horror Story, is set to play the Guy Gardner version of the superhero, a
hulking mass of masculinity, and as illustrated in the comics, an epitome of 80’s
hyper-patriotism.
Green Lantern is co-written and executive-produced by Arrowverse
overlord Greg Berlanti and Arrow/Legends of Tomorrow co-creator Marc Guggenheim.
The series reinvents the classic DC property through a
story spanning decades and galaxies, beginning on Earth in 1941 with the very
first Green Lantern, FBI agent Alan Scott, and 1984, with cocky alpha male Guy
Gardner and half-alien Bree Jarta.
The group will be joined by other Lanterns from the
comic book favorites to never-before-seen heroes.
During the announcement of the ambitious DC superhero
project, Berlanti said that Green Lantern promises to be the biggest DC show
ever made.
Seth Grahame-Smith from LEGO Batman Movie will be the
co-writer/EP together with Berlanti and Guggenheim, as the showrunner.
