According to Deadline, Jeremy Irvine is in talks to join Finn Wittrock in HBO Max’s upcoming Green Lantern series based on the DC characters.

Irvine would play Alan Scott/Green Lantern opposite Wittrock’s Guy Gardner/Green Lantern.

Green Lantern reinvents 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 (Irvine), and 1984, with cocky alpha male Guy Gardner (Wittrock) and half-alien Bree Jarta. They’ll be joined by a multitude of other Lanterns — from comic book favorites to never-before-seen heroes.

The series is being written by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Seth Grahame-Smith.  Berlanti, Guggenheim and Grahame-Smith executive produce with Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter, David Madden and David Katzenberg; Elizabeth Hunter and Sara Saedi co-executive produce.

I'm sure he works very cheap, but don't cast an Englishman to play Alan Scott, who is suddenly an FBI Agent. That's weird.
