“Swamp Thing” has found its… Swamp Thing, along with its human alter ego, Alec Holland.
Warner Bros. announced Tuesday that Derek Mears will portray Swamp Thing, while Andy Bean will play Holland. The two join a cast that includes Crystal Reed as Abby Arcane, Maria Sten as Liz Tremayne, and Jeryl Prescott as Madame Xanadu.
The character is described as emerging from the swamp with a monstrous physique and strange new powers over plant life, the man who was once Alec Holland struggles to hold onto his humanity. When dark forces converge on the town of Marais, Swamp Thing must embrace what he has become in order to defend the town as well as the natural world at large.
