We brought you guys the news that Matthew Cable would be a part of DC Universe's Swamp Thing series back in June, and now an actor has been cast in the role.

According to Deadline, Henderson Wade (Riverdale, Extant) will play this small-screen take on Cable, who's described as "a Louisiana lawman who finds himself in dire straits when supernatural evil threatens the town he’s sworn to protect."

This character should be familiar to fans of the early Len Wein Swamp Thing comics as well as Neil Gaiman's Sandman (it's a long story, but remember Morpheus' raven Mathew? Same guy), although the show appears to have made a few alterations to his established origin.

Swamp Thing is being developed as a one-hour show, and has Mark Verheiden (Battlestar Galactica) and Gary Dauberman (It) on board to write the pilot. They'll also executive produce alongside Michael Clear and James Wan. Len Wiseman will helm the first episode.

"Neil Gaiman's Sandman (it's a long story, but remember Morpheus' raven Mathew? Same guy)" Thank you, I was wondering why it seemed so familiar it's been too long since I read The Sandman.
I'm very excited for this show, I love me some Swamp Thing.
