One of the several DC Comics properties being adapted for the DC Universe streaming channel is Swamp Thing, from Aquaman director James Wan, which was announced earlier this month. The project was given a script-to-series order, which means that should TPTB approve of it, it will be ordered straight to series for a 2019 release.
But it appears the series may already be getting closer to that stage as the show is currently casting the leading roles!
First up we have the female lead of the series which is going to be Abby Arcane, who made her first appearance in DC Comics in Swamp Thing #3 back in March 1973. The live-action version is a 30-something intelligent woman, who is a bit of a lone wolf. She works for the Center for Disease Control who ends up assigning her to investigate the “Houma Flu”, which happens to be in her hometown.
Now, moving on to the other lead of the show: Alex Holland, better known as the titular character. Alec is a 30-something wise man, with a hot temper and a big passion for his work as a researcher for the Sunderland Corporation.
