Jeremy Irvine In Talks To Play Alan Scott In Green Lantern Series

It was less than a month ago that it was revealed that Finn Wittrock (American Horror Story) would be playing Guy Gardner in HBO Max’s upcoming Green Lantern series, and just a few weeks later, it has now been reported that Jeremy Irvine (Treadstone) is in negotiations to join him as Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern.

For those unfamiliar, the upcoming Green Lantern series will be written by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Seth Grahame-Smith,

“the ten-episode Green Lantern series will reinvent the classic comic book and tell a story “spanning decades and galaxies, beginning on Earth in 1941 with the very first Green Lantern, secretly gay FBI agent Alan Scott (Irvine), and 1984, with cocky alpha male Guy Gardner (Wittrock) and half-alien Bree Jarta. They’ll be joined by a multitude of other Lanterns — from comic book favorites to never-before-seen heroes.”

Prior to this news, Jeremy Irvine starred in USA Network’s short-lived Jason Bourne spin-off series Treadstone.
