To coincide with the release of Booster Gold, Last Resort Films president Phil Dolan has decided to announce one particular DC superhero that will make his live-action debut for the studio in the future. The script was just recently completed by APJ (Alan Wake, Batman: Gotham Knight) and no director is currently attached, but the studio head is gushing about the film and particularly the leading man the studio just signed to star. Glenn Howerton ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", "A.P. Bio") has been cast as Patrick "Eel" O'Brian, better known by his heroic alter-ego Plastic Man. The solo film is still a ways away, but Dolan just could not help himself and is reportedly doing everything in his power to fast-track the film (when it was first discussed it was being penciled in for Season 11 or 12, but now the studio is reportedly looking to get it on the big screen as soon as Season 7). Much like Jake Gyllenhaal did with Batman: Gotham Knight, Howerton has signed on for multiple DC films and will also serve in a producer capacity on Plastic Man, helping the studio find a director who shares Howerton, APJ and Dolan's vision for the character. This is the third time Dolan has announced a project and its star well in-advance of production, following Gyllenhaal as Batman and Hailee Steinfeld as Huntress (currently still set for a Season 8 release).
