Just in the pilot stages right now, Damon Lindelof’s episodic take on the superhero saga has finally started putting its cast list together, and the actors that have already joined are surprisingly fantastic.
One might think there would be a tipping point for superheroes on TV, but we are definitely not there yet.
Not surprising because HBO shows don’t normally have fantastic casts, but the lineup altogether just makes one say, “Wow.”
And HBO knows it, with the network going forward with its mega-ensemble adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ seminal graphic novel Watchmen.
