Shortly after, Powers creator, Brian Michael Bendis, confirmed the news along with revealing that the actress will fill the role of the super-powered Zora in the pilot.

Powers is based on the comic book series of the same name.

Jason Patric and Lucy Punch have been cast in the two lead roles with Bailee Madison and Charles S. Dutton also signed on for the pilot with FX.
