In an interview, Wittrock claimed that the series was still in production.

Among these projects was a Green Lantern series titled, Lanterns. This series was going to be focused on the Hal Jordan version of Green Lantern. It was unknown at the time whether or not Wittrock was still involved. It was speculated that the majority of actors involved in the DCEU would be recast, and that all prior plans for DC in film or TV had been cancelled, leading to intense backlash from fans, but a clear answer was never given. In July 2023 Gunn announced that he had chosen to cast frequent collaborator Nathan Fillion as the Guy Gardener character, effectively replacing Wittrock.

In 2024, Wittrock appeared in the autobiographic documentary Steve! (martin): a documentary in two pieces (Apple TV). In it, he plays Steve Martin's father, Glenn, in a skit based on Martin's play WASP.
