Swamp Thing has already cast Andy Bean and Crystal Reed in the key roles of Alec Holland and Abigail Arcane, but now a new report has shed some light on one of the series' supporting characters and the actor who will be tackling the role.

According to Deadline, Westworld's Leonardo Nam has joined the DC Universe project in a recurring role as the character Harlan Edwards, "a gay CDC specialist who is Abby’s (Reed) second-in-command."

While Harlan Edwards doesn't appear to be based on any significant comic book character, his ties to Abigail Arcane suggest we'll be seeing a fair amount of him throughout the show. 

The live-action Swamp Thing series, which comes from showrunners Mark Verheiden (Battlestar Galactica) and Gary Dauberman (It) and executive producer James Wan (Aquaman), is expected to premiere on the DC Universe streaming service later this year.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, people need to stop going out of the way to say someone is gay or not. It would seem stupid if it said "straight CDC specialist" and the sooner people stop treating gays and lesbians differently the sooner you'll just see the information for the character saying playing a CDC specialist.

@Battabing -

I think that is the best way to go with a new Batman

2021 is going to be nuts with both Black Panther and Batman coming out

@DevilHulk666 - Bro, he is spot on visually. As soon as I saw the thumbnail, that's all I could see. All he needs to do is beef up a bit...
