With the pilot now a go, “Batwoman” is firming up its cast, with Deadline reporting that Meagan Tandy, Camrus Johnson and Nicole Kang will be joining Ruby Rose on the latest CW superhero series.
The Arrowverse spin-off, featuring a character introduced in last month’s crossover event ‘Elseworlds’, tells of Kate Kane (Rose), a highly trained streetfighter who moonlights as Batwoman. In a city desperate for a savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.
Per the aforesaid outlet, “Tandy will play Sophie Moore. After graduating from military academy, Sophie rose through the ranks to become a high-level private security agent and one of Gotham’s staunchest protectors. Despite her bite and regimented outlook, Sophie has a soft side, illuminated by Kate Kane’s return.
Johnson will portray Luke Fox. A Dark Knight loyalist and son of Wayne’s R&D director Lucius Fox, Luke works to keep Wayne Tower secure in his boss’s absence. While Luke considers himself the guardian of all things Batman — specifically his symbol — he also recognizes the city’s need for a new hero.
Kang is Mary Hamilton. Excitable, talkative, and an influencer-in-the-making, Mary is Kate Kane’s step-sister and polar opposite. But what Mary lacks in a filter, she makes up for with her compassion for Gotham’s underserved communities, proving she has more in common with Kate than she thinks.”
Tandy is known for her role as Braeden on MTV’s “Teen Wolf”, Johnson was on “Luke Cage” over at Netflix, and Kang was recently on Lifetime’s “You”.
As reported in recent weeks, “Smallville” alum David Nutter will direct the pilot.
