DC’s “Swamp Thing” - The Green New Deal

Actor Vincent D’ Onofrio, memorable for roles in “The Player”, “Men In Black”, “Full Metal Jacket” and currently “Daredevil Reborn” is ready any time for director James Mangold’s “Swamp Thing” live-action feature, following a humanoid-plant elemental creature, with D’Onofrio promising to adhere to the character's comic book 'roots':

"Alec wakes up as the bomb explodes. In flames, he runs into the swamp. His body is drenched in the bio-restorative formula, affecting plant life in the swamp, imbuing it with Alec's consciousness and memories. 

"The newly conscious plant life forms a semblance of a human and rises up from the bog as the 'Swamp Thing' ....

"....the latest in a long line of 'Earth' elementals created when the 'Green' is in need of protection..."
