SWAMP THING DC Universe Series Adds GOTHAM Actress Crystal Reed As Abigail Arcane
We have our first bit of casting news for the upcoming DC Universe Swamp Thing series here, as Crystal Reed (Gotham, Teen Wolf) has landed the female lead role of Abigail Arcane. More past the jump...
The live-action Swamp Thing show has added its first major cast member.
According to Deadline, Crystal Reed will play the female lead role of Abigail "Abby" Arcane in the James Wan-produced DC Universe streaming series.
This small-screen take on The Earth Elemental's longtime love-interest is described as "smart and caring; a strong sense of empathy puts her at the center of a horrific life-threatening epidemic in her hometown, where she faces emotional demons from her past."
Reed has appeared in the likes of Teen Wolf and Pascal Laugier’s film Incident in a Ghost Land. Most recently she played Sofia Falcone on another DCTV series, Gotham.
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.
