Beyond his work in the Arrowverse, Guggenheim and Berlanti co-created the ABC series “Eli Stone.” His other TV credits include “Law & Order,” “CSI: Miami,” and “Carnival Row.” He also worked on the animated Netflix series “Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia” and the follow ups “3Below: Tales of Arcadia” and “Wizards: Tales of Arcadia.” In film, Guggenheim wrote the features “Green Lantern” in 2011 and “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters” in 2013.
He has also written for major comic book publishers on titles including “The Flash,” “X-Men,” and “Amazing Spider-Man” as well as video games like “Call of Duty 3.” He is currently writing “Star Wars: Han Solo and Chewbacca” and “Star Wars: Yoda” for Marvel Comics.
