Marvel has officially announced the additions of actors Oded Fehr and Fernanda Andrade to the cast of MARVEL'S MOST WANTED television pilot. The series is a direct spin-off of AGENTS OF SHIELD starring Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi Morse (Mockingbrid) and Nick Blood as Lance Hunter.
Here's the details for these two new cast members from Marvel's press release:
“Marvel’s Most Wanted” has added Oded Fehr (“Covert Affairs,” “Resident Evil: Extinction”) and Fernanda Andrade (“The Devil Inside,” “Red Widow”) to the cast.
Fehr will play a well-known character from the Marvel comics who will prove a force to be reckoned with for Bobbi and Hunter.
“When Oded came in to read for this part, we knew we found our guy,” said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. "He carries with him a villainous charm that will strike perfectly for this role.”
Fernanda Andrade has been cast as Christina Santos, a tough-as-nails woman of mystery who is also Dominic Fortune’s “niece.” Fortune and Santos work side-by-side appearing to help Bobbi and Hunter while also pursuing their own agenda.
“We needed our Christina to be a strong, beautiful woman who could be a partner to our Dominic Fortune,” said Loeb. “Fernanda brings that and so much more to the role and we’re thrilled to have her.”
The synopsis of MARVEL'S MOST WANTED is as follows:
Bobbi Morse (a.k.a. Mockingbird) and Lance Hunter are two ex-spies and ex-spouses who are on the run with no friends, no S.H.I.E.L.D., and a long list of enemies looking to claim a bounty on their heads. Able to trust no one but each other, Bobbi and Hunter form an uneasy alliance with Dominic Fortune, a rogue adventurer with a wealth of resources and even more adversaries, who agrees to protect them so long as they help him with his own agenda. While on dangerous missions that take them to every corner of the globe these two heroes will help anyone in need, all while trying to uncover the conspiracy that put their own lives in jeopardy.
MARVEL'S MOST WANTED premiere is yet to be determined and ABC has not ordered any more episodes beyond the pilot.
