Breaking: Derek Mears Is SWAMP THING?

DC has an all-new Swamp Thing TV series in the works with James Wan producing, Gary Dauberman (IT) and Mark Verheiden writing, and Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard) helming the pilot episode.

And today we have word via Slash Report that the new series may have found it’s lead creature in the form of Derek Mears (Friday the 13th, Hatchet III). None of this has been confirmed at the moment, but it looks like Mears plays only the creature, not Dr. Alec Holland.

Swamp Thing is based on the DC characters created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson. The project hails from James Wan’s Atomic Monster in association with Warner Bros. Television and is set to premiere in 2019 on the DC Universe digital subscription service.

Synopsis:

Abby Arcane investigates what seems to be a deadly swamp-born virus in a small town in Louisiana but soon discovers that the swamp holds mystical and terrifying secrets. When unexplainable and chilling horrors emerge from the murky marsh, no one is safe.
