The Powers casting news keeps coming, with Deadline revealing Monday that British actress Lucy Punch has been cast as female lead Deena Pilgrim in the FX pilot.
Punch, 33, is probably best known to genre fans from her role in Edgar Wright’s 2007 film Hot Fuzz. Mostly seen in comedic roles, Punch has past US TV experience as part of the ensemble cast of the short-lived CBS sitcom The Class, and is co-starring in Bad Teacher, out this coming Friday. In February, Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff made her interest in the role public via Twitter.
Punch joins Bailee Madison, cast as Calista last week, and Charles S. Dutton as Captain Cross — the first cast announcement, made back in May. The role of male lead Christian Walker, Pilgrim’s homicide detective partner, has yet to be cast, though it was reported in March that FX was interested in Friday Night Lights and Super 8 star Kyle Chandler for the role.
Last week, Brian Michael Bendis, co-creator of the Powers comic book series and an executive producer on the television series, told Newsarama that the pilot should be filming in a few weeks.
