Irvine, who most recently played the lead in the Bourne spinoff TV series
Treadstone, is said to be in talks to star in the role, according to Variety.
Working as a train engineer before life as a superhero, Scott gained his powers from a green flame that fell to Earth. He uses his skills to fight evil with the help of a magical ring that grants him various powers.
British actor Irvine would join
American Horror Story star Finn Wittrock, who is set to play unstable superhero Guy Gardner in the upcoming series from executive producer Greg Berlanti and Warner Bros. TV. Given a ten-episode order last year, the show is expected to revolve around several Green Lanterns, with Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz and Kilowog featuring alongside Scott and Gardner.
