Finn Wittrock has been cast in a lead role of the upcoming Green Lantern series at HBO Max, Variety has learned.
Wittrock will star as Guy Gardner, who is described as a hulking mass of masculinity, and, as rendered in the comics, an embodiment of 1980s hyper-patriotism. Wittrock is the first actor to be cast in the show.
Based on the DC Comics property, the new TV series was first announced as being in development in 2019 and ordered last year. The story spans decades and galaxies, beginning on Earth in 1941 with the very first Green Lantern, secretly gay FBI agent Alan Scott, and 1984, with cocky alpha male Gardner and half-alien Bree Jarta. They’ll be joined by a multitude of other Lanterns from comic book favorites to never-before-seen heroes.
