Inhumans The Serinda Swan is Medusa Thread

[psylockolussus]

Medusa is my favorite so I can't wait for the live-action film version of her!

 

[Tg11]

Jessica Chastain as Medusa

 

[psylockolussus]

I'd rather see Charlize Theron as Medusa, she has this Queen fierce look that I don't really see in Jessica Chastain.

 

[Tg11]

Bridget Regan

 

[Stark Bauer]

Emily Blunt

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

If she can work around TWD, I think Lauren Cohen would make a good Medusa

 

[Dark Raven]

I guess we won't get such a big actress now but more of TV actress for Medusa.

Bridget Regan

She's already Dottie Underwood/ original Black Widow in Agent Carter.

 

[psylockolussus]

When I think of TV actresses I can only think of Kate Walsh as Medusa.

Then looking at my profile picture, I kinda want Mills Queen Alice Jovovich as Medusa! She's fierce!

 

[HunBoy]

Jessica Chastain.

 

[marcvader]

Unfortunately I think Chastain is too high profile for an ABC tv series now.

 

[psylockolussus]

I feel like she's a bit old for Medusa, and she got that good girl look and Medusa isn't really that. Like she has her questionable moments in the comics. So I'd rather see someone else. Charlize Theron would be fitting to a Medusa role. The redhead from Suits could be good as Medusa.

 

[Dark Raven]

Well, Medusa doesn't need to be played by a redhead, so any actress could play her, especially since her hair is likely to be a mixture of a long wig and CGI.

And how is Jessica Chastain a bit old for Medusa at 39, and then "the redhead from Suits", Sarah Rafferty isn't when she's 43?

 

[Fincher]

I'll toss out Radha Mitchell. She's a film actress (and a great one, in my opinion) without being a mega-star, and she starred in a short-lived TV show a few years back.

Good actress, just not sure she has the toughness needed for Medusa.

How about Isda Fisher...too big?

 

[Dark Raven]

Are you talking about Isla Fisher?

Height wise, she's too short. She's tiny, and she's way too cute and bubbly. You need someone tall, regal and imposing for Medusa. Are you suggesting Isla just because she has red hair?

 

[Sebastos]

Sticking with tv actresses, Alyssa Sutherland for Medusa.

 

[marcvader]

I wouldn't mind an Alexandra Breckenridge from American Horror Story and The Walking Dead.

Graceland alum Serinda Swan will play Medusa, the Queen of the Inhumans and wife of Black Bolt (Anson Mount), EW has learned exclusively.

Marvel’s Inhumans follows a race of superhumans with diverse and unique powers and explores the never-before-told epic adventure of Black Bolt and the Royal Family.

Medusa is Black Bolt’s most trusted advisor, a fiercely resilient warrior who has the ability to move and control her hair the way most people use their hands and fingers.

“Serinda empowers Medusa’s regal glory and still maintains a relatability that synced perfectly with the character,” Marvel TV head and executive producer Jeph Loeb says. “She is nothing short of wonderful.”

Adds showrunner Scott Buck: “Serinda Swan brings a regal elegance, as well as a sense of great inner strength and fierce determination, to the role of Medusa. I couldn’t be happier to have her as our Queen of Attilan.”

Swan is no stranger to the world of superheroes. The actress — whose credits also include Chicago Fire, Breakout Kings, and Supernatural — previously portrayed Zatanna on Smallville.

The casting comes on the heels of Hell on Wheels star Mount getting cast as Black Bolt, while Game of Thrones‘ Iwan Theon will play his brother, Maximus.

Inhumans — which hails from Buck, Loeb, and Jim Chory — will debut its first two episodes exclusively in IMAX theaters for a two-week window in September before its network run.

Funny, her and Mount both appeared on Smallville

 

[Dark Raven]

Who was Mount in Smallville?

I'm surprised they didn't get Tom Welling for Blackbolt.

 

[chamber-music]

Welling could play Timberius given how wooden he is

Our Medusa!

[marcvader]

She looks like Megan Fox lite.

 

[psylockolussus]

I hope she delivers. I need Medusa to slay and be completely fierce!
