Jason Patric cast in FX's Powers

Well, that didn't take long. Less than 24 hours after the casting of Lucy Punch as Deena Pilgrim in the Powers pilot, FX has just announced actor Jason Patric (The Losers) will star alongside her as Detective Christian Walker.

The first arc from the Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming comic book series will serve as the basis for the pilot. Detective Walker (Patric) investigates the shocking murder of one of the world`s most popular superheroes, Retro Girl. Working with rookie cop, Deena Pilgrim, the murder investigation takes them from the seediest underbelly the city has to offer to the gleaming towers that are home to immortal beings. As hidden truths about Retro Girl come to light, Walker finds that to solve this crime, he may have to reveal a dark secret.

Patric joins the confirmed cast of Charles S. Dutton, Lucy Punch and Bailee Madison.
