IGN reports that Crisis On Infinite Earths has cast actor Stephen Lobo to play Jim Corrigan AKA The Spectre in the upcoming Arrowverse crossover event.
The CW wouldn’t confirm to IGN if Stephen Lobo’s Jim Corrigan would appear as The Spectre, but it is speculated that it is a possibility given that the character has a role in the Crisis On Infinite Earths comic book storyline.

“Fans of the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic know the Spectre plays a pivotal role. We’re thrilled Stephen is our Jim Corrigan.”
