Swamp Thing has cast long time charter actor Will Patton (Halloween) in the role of Avery Sutherland, according to Deadline.
Sutherland is described as a prominent businessman who serves as the de facto patriarch of his Louisiana hometown, and is always giving back to the community. However, it’s all a front as Sutherland is also a ruthless tycoon who wants to harness the power of the swamp for profit.
Swamp Thing comes from James Wan’s Atomic Monster in association with Warner Bros. Television. The pilot is set to premiere in 2019 on the DC Universe digital subscription service.
