Finn Wittrock to Star in GREEN LANTERN Series on HBO Max

Finn Wittrock ("American Horror Story", "Versace: American Crime Story") has signed on to star as a key DC Comics character in HBO Max's upcoming "Green Lantern" series. The big-budget show, which has been in development since 2019, will be written and executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Seth Grahame-Smith.

The show will reinvent the classic DC property through a story spanning 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 Guy 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.

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. And yet, Guy is somehow likable. Casting for Alan Scott is also expected to be announced shortly as a deal with an actor is on the cusp of closing.

"Green Lantern" is expected to begin filming this year.

Wittrock recently wrapped filming the tenth season of "American Horror Story" and is also attached to star in the second season of "Ratched". He can next be seen in the Ben Affleck movie "Deep Water" and in "A Mouthful of Air" opposite Amanda Seyfried.
