The cast of The CW’s big DC crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths continues to expand, with IGN reporting that Stephen Lobo (Supernatural) has been cast in the role of Detective Jim Corrigan, a.k.a. The Spectre.
“Fans of the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic know the Spectre plays a pivotal role,” states Arrowverse executive producer Marc Guggenheim. “We’re thrilled Stephen is our Jim Corrigan.”
Created by Jerry Siegel and Bernand Baily and debuting in More Fun Comics #52 in 1940, Jim Corrigan is the human host of The Spectre, a supernatural avenger tasked with destroying all evil. The character previously appeared in NBC’s short-lived Constantine TV series, where he was portrayed by Emmett Scanlen.
