Bringing this modern-day iteration to life will be former Ash vs. Evil Dead showrunner and comic writing vet Mark Verheiden, who is teaming with Gary Dauberman, co-screenwriter for both IT films, as well as a writer on all the Conjuring spinoffs, including the soon-to-be three Annabelle movies and The Nun.

Swamp Thing was created in 1971 by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson as part of a one-off story for the comic House of Secrets, though the character soon rose to fame on his own standalone merits, especially as society got more eco-conscious in the 1970s and 1980s.
