Crisis On Infinite Earths Casts The Spectre

Following Stephen Amell teasing DC’s Spirit of Vengeance, now The Spectre has been cast for the Crisis On Infinite Earths mega-event crossover.

Stephen Lobo (Continuum, Supernatural) has been cast as Detective Jim Corrigan.

Executive producer Marc Guggenheim confirmed, “Fans of the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic know the Spectre plays a pivotal role. We’re thrilled Stephen is our Jim Corrigan.”

Emmett Scanlan played a version of The Spectre in the NBC Constantine series who also went on to play Lobo in SYFY’s short-live Krypton Superman prequel series.

The Spectre is one of DC’s heavyweight characters, so it will be interesting to see what they do with the character in Crisis.

Regarding what Stephen Amell had to say, the Green Arrow actor offered on Monday, “Trying to relax after an amazing weekend. The spectre of the crossover still looms large.”

Worth a note is that Amell teased “spectre” instead of “specter.”
