‘She-Hulk’: ‘Gotham’ & ‘The Punisher’ Actress Anais Almonte Spotted On The Set With Mark Ruffalo

Marvel’s She-Hulk series is currently filming and another actor seemingly has joined the cast.

Actress Anais Almonte (The Punisher, Gotham) posted a bunch of set photos, including one with herself in costume with Marvel Ruffalo in his Hulk motion-capture suit. She has since deleted the photos but She-Hulk Daily on Twitter was able to post the photos online.

Matthew Bass spotted this fourth image of Anais in her full costume from her Facebook account that was also deleted.

Almonte’s character hasn’t been revealed but could be playing someone with action scenes given that she’s pictured with Mark Rufflao. But don’t get too excited about her links to The Punisher as she played a dead body on that show.

Jennifer is the cousin of Avengers member Dr. Bruce Banner aka Hulk and after a blood transfusion from Bruce is granted her own Hulk powers becoming She-Hulk. The series officially will see the return of Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky aka Abomination, Mark Ruffalo back as Banner, Renee Elise Goldsberry as Amelia, and Ginger Gonzaga.

The 10-episode series will be directed by Kat Coiro and Anu Valia with Emmy-winner Jessica Gao (Rick & Morty) set as head writer.

She-Hulk’s crew consists of production designer Elena Albanese (Lovecraft Country), costume designer Ann Foley (Godzilla Vs. Kong, Altered Carbon), and stunt coordinator Monique Ganderton (Loki, Avengers: Endgame).

Marvel Studios hasn’t announced when She-Hulk will debut but given the visual effects involved likely won’t drop until later in 2022.

Jonathan Majors In Talks To Play Adonis’ Opponent In ‘Creed 3’ – Will Be Michael B. Jordan’s Directorial Debut

Michael B. Jordan is making the jump to director with MGM’s Creed III while continuing to play Adonis, the son of Apollo Creed from the iconic Rocky movies. The last two movies had Sly Stallone reprising Rocky for the spinoff, but has announced that he won’t be involved with this new film.

It looks like they’ve found an actor to play Adonis’ next opponent as Deadline reports that Jonathan Majors is currently in negotiations for the role. Majors got awareness thanks to roles in Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods, White Boy Rick, and HBO’s Lovecraft Country. He is officially is playing Kang The Conqueror in Marvel’s Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania as announced by Kevin Feige back in December.

It honestly wouldn’t hurt for Jordan and MGM to hire a seasoned actor to star opposite given that might be considered a weakness with the last two movies. It’s hard to really care about the actors who play Adonis’ opponents as they don’t have the same character that you’d expect.

Quantumania will begin shooting in a couple of weeks in the United Kingdom.

Jonathan Majors recently wrapped on the Korean War film Devotion, directed by J.D. Dillard.

Amazon recently acquired MGM Studios for a massive $8.45 billion.

The sport drama is set to be released by MGM on November 23, 2022.

Elizabeth Olsen Says Wanda’s Sokovian Accent Is Returning For ‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness’

We’re all excited to get our first glimpse of Sam Raimi’s return to the comic book genre with Marvel’s Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness, while a trailer is likely months away, actress Elizabeth Olsen is giving a little bit of insight about the latest incarnation of Wanda Maximoff aka The Scarlet Witch.

Wanda Maximoff’s American and Sokovian accent seemingly have a life of their own, but Elizabeth Olsen spoke to Rolling Stone recently and dished that her Sokovian accent will be making a return for the Doctor Strange sequel. She also explained why Wanda pivoted to varying levels of accents in previous projects.

OLSEN: “So that started with Civil War. The Russos [directors Anthony and Joseph Russo] said, ‘Can she just have a softer accent, because she’s been in America, and has to have been speaking English more.’ So I was like, sure. I do have to say that in [Wanda’s next appearance, in 2022’s] Dr. Strange [in the Multiverse of Madness], after the experience she has in WandaVision, she goes back to an accent that’s more true to her. Now that I feel a little bit more ownership of the character, I feel like she does retreat back to having this more honest expression. The sitcom part was totally different, because she’s trying to hold on to an American sitcom world and play the part the best she can.”

The sequel seemingly takes place directly after Wanda becomes the Scarlet Witch and is attempting to bring her family out of the Multiverse using the dark magic spell book, The Darkhold, which suggests that she unwillingly unleashes evil creatures into their dimension and leads to Doctor Strange getting involved.

Marvel has officially announced that newcomer Xochitl Gomez will play America Chavez aka Miss America, but the studio hasn’t announced who will be the main villains other than Baron Mordo or if we’ll see characters such as Clea or Brother Voodoo despite former director Scott Derrickson teasing their involvement on social media.

Other returning cast members are Benedict Wong as Wong, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Karl Mordo, and Rachel McAdams as Dr. Christine Palmer.

The production team includes composer Danny Elfman (Batman, Spider-Man 1-3), cinematographer John Mathieson (Logan, X-Men: First Class) and production designer Charles Wood (Black Widow, Avengers: Endgame).

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness will be released on Mach 25th, 2022.

‘Jack Ryan’ & ‘Altered Carbon’ Actress Dina Shihabi Might Be Joining Marvel’s ‘Moon Knight’ Series

The Ronin is hearing that Arab-European actress Dina Shihabi is potentially up for an undisclosed role in Marvel’s Moon Knight series led by Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector. Shihabi’s credits are mostly from the world of television appearing on Amazon’s Jack Ryan series, Season 2 of the Netflix cyberpunk series Altered Carbon, Netflix’s Daredevil series as Neda Kazemi, the Hulu comedy series Ramy, and recently wrapped on the Netflix series Archive 81 produced by James Wan’s Atomic Monster. 

However, we weren’t able to confirm if the actress has signed on or what the character might be. 

Moon Knight, aka Marc Spector, a mercenary who has numerous alter egos — cabbie Jake Lockley and millionaire playboy Steven Grant — in order to better fight the criminal underworld. But later he was established as being a conduit for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Most recently, the character was a consultant who dresses in all-white and goes by the name Mr. Knight. 

In the comics, Marc Spector was born in Chicago to a Jewish-American family and his father was a rabbi that fled Nazi persecution as a child in Czechoslovakia during WWII. Marc is a former U.S. Marine turned C.I.A. operative, who also had a stint as a boxer. 

Directors Mohamed Diab, Justin Benson, and Aaron Moorhead are behind the new Marvel series with actors Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy nabbing key roles in Moon Knight. The Umbrella Academy’s Jeremy Slater is the series head writer with The Witcher’s Beau DeMayo also contributing. 

The show’s producing team includes Grant Curtis (Spider-Man 1-3, Drag Me To Hell, The Gift, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of The Shadows), Tommy Turtle (The Cell, Immortals, The Fall, Mirror Mirror, Krypton, The Mosquito Coast), and Jeremy Slater (Fantastic Four, Death Note). 

Filming is underway in Budapest with the United Kingdom confirmed as a second filming location and Jordan also being eyed, the latter location was previously used in Oscar’s big studio sci-fi films Dune and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Moon Knight’s crew consists of cinematographer Gregory Middleton (Watchmen, Fringe), production designer Stefania Cella (Morbius, Black Mass, White Boy Rick), and stunt coordinator Olivier Schneider (No Time To Die). 

She-Hulk is currently shooting in Atlanta with other Disney+ shows on the horizon such as the Skrull crossover event series Secret Invasion, Dominique Throne’s Ironheart, Don Cheadle’s Armor Wars, Ryan Coogler’s Wakanda series, and Alaqua Cox’s Echo series.

Marvel is aiming to debut Moon Knight on Disney+ in the first half of 2022 and has been confirmed by Kevin Feige to have a 6-episode season.

‘Alien: Covenant’ Actress Carmen Ejogo Rumored For A Potential Role In Marvel’s ‘Secret Invasion’ Series

Earlier today, we revealed Marvel’s Secret Invasion series would be filming under the working title of Jambalaya during it’s production run in the United Kingdom.

There is even more potential news about the Skrull crossover event series as The Illuminerdi claims that British actress Carmen Ejogo has been offered a role in Secret Invasion. While The Illuminerdi has been right in the past it’s worth waiting until this casting tidbit is confirmed by a trade outlet before getting too excited.

Ejogo’s credits include Alien: Covenant, Fantastic Beasts, and Selma.

Secret Invasion’s impressive cast already consists of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Ben Mendelsohn as Skrull leader Talos, Oscar-winner Olivia Colman (The Favourite, Hot Fuzz, The Crown), four-time Emmy nominee Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones, Solo: A Star Wars Story), Kingsley Ben-Adir (One Night In Miami, Peaky Blinders) said to be playing a villain, and most recent addition to the Marvel series is character actor Christopher McDonald (Hacks, Happy Gilmore).

We’ll also be patiently waiting to hear if cast members of The Marvels will be showing up in Secret Invasion.

The show’s head writer is Kyle Bradstreet with directors Thomas Bezhucha (Let Him Go) and Ali Selim (The Looming Tower) recently announced.

Given that production is taking place later in the year, we shouldn’t expect to see Secret Invasion begin airing on Disney+ until late 2022 or early 2023.

Working Title For Marvel’s ‘Secret Invasion’ Series Is ‘Jambalaya’

The Ronin has exclusively confirmed that the working title for Marvel’s Skrull event crossover series, Secret Invasion, will be Jambalaya. This is simply the production title the studio will use during the filming of the show in the United Kingdom, which is said to go in front of cameras sometime in the fall.

In the comics, Secret Invasion focuses on the reveal that multiple people in power and even superheroes have been replaced with an alien race with the ability to shape-shift, called the Skrulls. They were first introduced in Captain Marvel as peaceful cosmic refugees and covered for Nick Fury and Maria Hill while they were seemingly off-world having a space station built (for S.W.O.R.D.?), as seen at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home.

The versions of the Skrulls we’ve previously seen don’t have Super-Skrull abilities, because that had been tied to the Fantastic Four film rights. With the rights back at Marvel Studios, it means that the Skrulls can now mimic the superpowers of various heroes and villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making them even more dangerous opponents than before.

While the show is being billed as a crossover event they haven’t officially announced if cast members from the Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels, will have duel roles on the Disney+ series, but it’s sort of expected given that S.W.O.R.D. is likely a key element in both projects. It also doesn’t hurt that Nia DaCosta’s The Marvels is confirmed to be filming primarily at Longcross Studios in Surrey, England, making the possibility of cast cross-pollination very good.

Secret Invasion’s impressive cast already consists of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Ben Mendelsohn as Skrull leader Talos, Oscar-winner Olivia Colman (The Favourite, Hot Fuzz, The Crown), four-time Emmy nominee Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones, Solo: A Star Wars Story), Kingsley Ben-Adir (One Night In Miami, Peaky Blinders) said to be playing a villain, and most recent addition to the Marvel series is character actor Christopher McDonald (Hacks, Happy Gilmore).

The show’s head writer is Kyle Bradstreet with directors Thomas Bezhucha (Let Him Go) and Ali Selim (The Looming Tower) recently announced.

Other recent working titles for Marvel feature film projects include the following.

BLACK WIDOW = BLUE BAYOU

ETERNALS = SACK LUNCH

SHANG-CHI & THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS = STEAMBOAT

DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS = STELLAR VORTEX

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME = THE NOVEMBER PROJECT

THOR: LOVE & THUNDER = THE BIG SALAD

CAPTAIN MARVEL 2 = GOAT RODEO

BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER = SUMMER BREAK

ANT-MAN & THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA = DUST BUNNY

Given that production is taking place later in the year, we shouldn’t expect to see Secret Invasion begin airing on Disney+ until late 2022 or early 2023.

Sony Pictures Says They Have An “Excellent Relationship” With Marvel Studios & Kevin Feige – Will They Announce An Extended Deal?

While there has been tension in the past, new comments from Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group President Sanford Panitch suggest that the working relationship between Sony and Marvel’s Kevin Feige is “excellent.” This comes from an interview Panitch had with Variety where he mentioned their big Spider-Man plans will be revealed after the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home in December.

PANITCH: “The great thing is we have this very excellent relationship with Kevin. There’s an incredible sandbox there to play with. We want those MCU movies to be absolutely huge, because that’s great for us and our Marvel characters, and I think that’s the same thing on their side. But we have a great relationship. There’s lots of opportunities, I think, that are going to happen.”

Despite those rosy comments, things weren’t always pleasant between the two companies.

In the early days of Marvel shopping the film rights to studios, Sony Pictures famously rejected a deal that could have landed-up the bulk of the Marvel Comics character lineup when Marvel first approached the studio about tackling Spider-Man movies. Those executives obviously had zero imagination about what the future held for the superhero genre and cinematic universes.

When Marvel Studios became successful, Sony Pictures still scoffed at the idea of teaming together to the point that Sony Japan had to tell their film division to a make a deal with Marvel happen after Amazing Spider-Man 2 failed to get audiences jazzed about their Spider-Man cinematic universe. Even after the billion-dollar success of Spider-Man: Far From Home, the deal between Disney and Sony dissolved which led to the potential of Sony Pictures moving forward with Spider-Man 3 without the help of Marvel. Luckily, Tom Holland able to get the two studios back to table and is the reason why Spider-Man: No Way Home exists.

After past attitudes mentioned above, it’s not hard to imagine that Sony could be under the impression they can simply copy the Marvel model for themselves without the help of Marvel Studios. The success of Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse and it’s Oscar win could give the studio a boost of confidence to go solo again. It wouldn’t be the first studio to do so, and Sony already attempted to create their own cinematic universe with plans to make a Sinister Six movie that was one of the main teases from Amazing Spider-Man 2, alongside introducing future Rogue One actress, Felicity Jones, as Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat (another character that was set to get a solo film).

One of the theories about Spider-Man: No Way Home is that it could be a way for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to ease his way out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe gracefully with one final film.

The vagueness of the statements from the studio executive aren’t particular helpful either. We’re still kind of in the dark what Sony plans to do after Spider-Man: No Way Home, Panitch suggests they’ll be revealing their big plan after the release of the third Marvel-made solo Spider-Man film, but haven’t been clear if they’ll continue to have Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in the MCU or agree to give Marvel access to other incarnations of the character (Miles Morales etc) allowing them to keep Holland for their own cinematic universe installments.

There is some hope from fans that everything can simply just be consider part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but we’ve examples in the past even at different divisions of Marvel where that wasn’t a simple thing. Marvel Studios Nate Moore mentioned off-handily that the Disney+ shows were the first time that the television and film universes have been cohesive, alluding to the Marvel Television/Loeb era being nixed from MCU hard-canon.

Keeping in mind how the Jeph Loeb era of Marvel shows were blocked from official canon, I personally don’t see how Kevin Feige would suddenly allow Sony’s spinoff films to be so easily accepted to the Marvel Cinematic Universe without his personal oversight on their development and production. Unless Marvel Studios makes or produces these new Sony/Marvel movies I don’t really see how they become part of the hard-canon MCU. Considering that Kevin won’t really be able to oversee quality control, as seen with a bonkers project like Venom.

Speaking of Venom, Sony recently confirmed that Spider-Man won’t appear in the Venom sequel and it’s unclear if films such as Morbius or Kraven The Hunter will include Parker either. Michael Keaton’s Vulture from Spider-Man: Homecoming showing up in the Morbius trailer has only added to the confusion and fan speculation, the Vulture being a Sony-owned character.

There is also uncertainty about Olivia Wilde’s Spider-Woman project being part of the MCU, as Marvel wasn’t mentioned as a production partner when it was originally announced and Sony still hasn’t even given the project a title, let alone confirmed that Marvel is working with them on it.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see if the Marvel and Sony will announce they’ve officially extended their working relationship to other films. There have been rumblings that they’ve worked things out but according to Tom Holland himself he’s finished his existing contract obligations and is willing to re-up if asked to.

If they have a plan it seems odd that Holland doesn’t have a new Spider-Man contract already.

‘M.O.D.O.K.’s Sam Richardson Would Love A Shot At Playing Beast In Marvel’s ‘X-Men’ Reboot

Marvel Studios since landing the Fantastic Four and X-Men rights back from 20th Century Studios after their merger with The Walt Disney Company has led to some interesting fan-casting suggestions. The biggest call from the online community it is to have real-life married couple John Kransinski and Emily Blunt play the new versions of Dr. Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic and Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman in a reboot of the Fantastic Four from director Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home). Sadly, we don’t always get what we want and months after John downplayed his chances on his YouTube show Some Good News, Blunt also poured cold water on the idea as well on The Howard Stern Show.

Sometimes fan-castings are just simple fun that can be taken a little too seriously by fans and can lead to a neverending attempt by outlets to get actors to repeat quotes about playing superheroes over and over. In other cases, actors simply bring up superhero characters they want to play organically in interviews.

Variety caught up with comedic actor Sam Richardson, who briefly mentions his desire to play Dr. Hank McCoy aka Beast from X-Men, comparing the mutant superhero to his character Richard Splett on the Emmy-winning HBO political comedy series Veep led by Julia Louise-Dreyfus. You might be aware that Julia recently joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in The Falcon & The Winter Soldier as Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine (possible friend or foe), which has been teased as a reoccurring role in the massive expansive universe.

Now that Sam Richardson has had a taste of action work in Amazon’s upcoming “Tomorrow War” with Chris Pratt, he wants some more. He’d love a shot at playing the X-Men’s Beast. “I think Beast is like a big blue-haired Richard Splett,” he told me at the Big Screen Is Back event, referring to the character he played on “Veep.”

Richardson is likely best-known for his roles on Veep, Spy, and The Office. He most recently worked on Marvel’s new Hulu animated show M.O.D.O.K. as Gary, Amazon’s big alien invasion flick The Tomorrow War that is led by Star-Lord actor Chris Pratt, and has a big role in the upcoming genre flick Werewolves Within. That latter project sees Sam starring alongside Milana Vayntrub, who played Marvel’s Squirrel Girl in the live-action New Warriors series that never got picked-up

Speaking of Juila’s Val, Marvel Studios has been casting a lot of comedic actors for various MCU roles (big and small) over the last couple of years, making Richardson’s Beast request not entirely unobtainable. Some examples include Parks & Rec actor Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, ageless funny man Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Fresh Off The Boat’s Randall Park playing FBI Agent/Agents of Atlas leader Jimmy Woo, Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness, Silicon Valley’s Kumail Nanjiani is a main cast member of the Eternals, Kim’s Convenience star Simu Liu is playing their newest superhero Shang-Chi, comedians Awkwafina and Ronny Chieng play supporting roles in Shang-Chi, Owen Wilson as Mobius M. Mobius in the Loki series, Community’s Donald Glover was the The Prowler in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Melissa McCarthy plays a fake version of Hela in Thor: Love & Thunder, and most recently Oscar-winner Olivia Colman (Hot Fuzz, Peep Show) taking a mysterious role in Secret Invasion.

Beast is an interesting suggestion given that the MCU incarnation of Hank could have a lot of crossover potential as he started out as a member of the X-Men, only to bounce for the Avengers, and then joined S.W.O.R.D. the cosmic version of S.H.I.E.L.D. that was introduced in WandaVision. S.W.O.R.D. will likely have a huge role in upcoming projects like The Marvels and the Disney+ series Secret Invasion.

During Fox’s era of the X-Men franchise, Beast was played by Kesley Grammer and Nicholas Hoult.

As it stands, Marvel hasn’t officially assigned writers or a director for their X-Men reboot and would give the impression they haven’t thought about casting the mutant heroes.

Danai Gurira’s Okoye Returning In ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ & Spinoff Series At Disney+

Despite the loss of actor Chadwick Boseman to colon cancer last year, Marvel Studios seems to be looking to expand the world of Black Panther’s fictional country of Wakanda with the sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever set to begin filming this summer in Atlanta and a spinoff Wakanda series in the works at Disney+ from filmmaker Ryan Coogler.

This expansion will apparently have Danai Gurira’s Okoye as a key player, as the actress is reportedly locked-in for the sequel and the untitled Disney+ series. The news first appeared in an expansive piece about Hollywood attorneys from The Hollywood Reporter, but was later backed-up independently by outlets such as Collider and Deadline.

However, there seems to be some confusion if Danai will be in two different Black Panther spinoff shows for Disney+ or simply part of the Ryan Coogler project that was previously announced. We’ll have to wait for clarity from Marvel/Disney on that front.

Okoye is one of the Dora Milaje, Wakanda’s group of female special forces warriors, and survived the snap. We learned thanks to Avengers: Endgame that Okoye was still active in the heroics department before Thanos was defeated and half of the universe was resurrected by Tony Stark.

It’s unclear how big Okyoe’s role will be in either project and will be some time until we get some more concrete information about this Wakanda show. However, it seems all but confirmed that it will follow the Dora Milaje as teased with their appearance in The Falcon & The Winter Soldier. We have to assume at this point the show will have actress Florence Kasumba among the cast as well.

Marvel Studios has gone on the record about not employing a digital version of Chadwick Boseman or recasting the T’Challa role, making it a bit of a mystery how exactly they plan on moving forward with Black Panther: Wakanda and who will ultimately take up the mantle. The Challenge Day scene from the first film seems to indicate that multiple royals from the various Wakandan tribes could be in consideration and it not being a complete sure bet that Shuri is the next Black Panther just because it happened in the comic books.

We’re still in the dark who will be the sequel’s antagonist. Trade reports revealed that Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta (Narcos) was in talks to play a an unnamed villain. Fans have speculated for years that that Prince Namor of Atlantis or Fantastic Four’s Doctor Doom of Latveria could be potential baddies looking to pick a fight with the technologically advanced nation in the second film.

It’ll be interesting if they’d ever consider prequels taking place during the era of King T’Chaka.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will hit theaters on July 8, 2022.

Marvel’s ‘Secret Invasion’ Adds ‘Happy Gilmore’ Actor Christopher McDonald

Marvel Studios is hyping-up Secret Invasion as their big crossover event series, which says a lot considering that while WandaVision and The Falcon & The Winter Soldier seemingly helped to set up future film projects there wasn’t much of a event/crossover status they felt sort of self-contained in their own pockets of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Secret Invasion’s premise is that the shape-shifting Skrulls have been infiltrating all positions of power across the globe, even replacing various members of the Avengers over the years since they arrived on Earth back in the 1990s. However, the aliens were introduced in Captain Marvel as refugees and in Spider-Man: Far From Home were essentially covering for Nick Fury/Maria Hill as they’re seemingly off-world as the Skrulls are building a space station for the humans.

Another casting addition to Secret Invasion has been revealed by Deadline, as American character actor Christopher McDonald has landed an undisclosed role in the Marvel series that they claim is newly created and could crossover other projects including film. He most recently worked on the HBO Max series Hacks and might be best known as Shooter McGavin in the Adam Sandler golf comedy Happy Gilmore.

This wouldn’t be all that shocking as Secret Invasion and the Captain Marvel sequel The Marvels are expected to shoot around the same time in the United Kingdom, having cast members appear in both projects isn’t hard to imagine at this point given Marvel is calling the series a “crossover event.”

McDonald joins an impressive and growing cast that already consists of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Ben Mendelsohn as Skrull leader Talos, Oscar-winner Olivia Colman (The Favourite, Hot Fuzz, The Crown), four-time Emmy nominee Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones, Solo: A Star Wars Story), and Kingsley Ben-Adir (One Night In Miami, Peaky Blinders) said to be playing a villain.

The show’s head writer is Kyle Bradstreet with directors Thomas Bezhucha (Let Him Go) and Ali Selim (The Looming Tower) recently announced.

Filming is said to begin this fall in the United Kingdom and possibly Europe.
