In the comics, Negative Man, aka Larry Trainor, is a founding member of the Doom Patrol.
While Bomer will provide the voice of Negative Man, actor Matthew Zuk will provide the physical performance of the character on set in costume, replacing Riley Shanahan, who was previously announced in the role.
The actor wasn’t on site at the event, but surprised fans with a special video greeting from the Atlanta-based set.
Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of super-powered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them.
