Lou Ferrigno Jr. Will Play Hourman in STARGIRL
The casting announcements for DC Universe’s Stargirl is getting put into high gear as we have recently learned that Golden Age Hourman will make an appearance, and he will be played by Lou Ferrigno Jr.
Hourman, aka Rex Tyler, is “a master chemist and adrenaline junkie who as Hourman is a thrill-seeking superhero with the ability to manifest super-strength… for one hour a day.” In addition to being a superhero, Hourman was a founding member of the Justice Society of America which we know will play a role in the series.
“Stargirl follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. This new drama reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in an unpredictable series. The project focuses on the character that started executive producer Geoff Johns’ career as a comic book writer when he created her in 1999, lovingly inspired by his late sister, who was killed in a 1996 plane explosion.”
Geoff Johns was the original creator of Stargirl, and he will serve as an executive producer alongside Greg Berlanti and Sara Schecthter. Johns will also be writing the first episode of the series. Ferrigno Jr. joins the already announced cast of Christopher James Baker, Brec Bassinger, Joel McHale, Yvette Monreal, and Anjelika Washington.
