Black Lightning has found their Grace Choi. Variety reports Chantal Thuy will play the DC Comics character in The CW’s upcoming TV show.
The DC Comics drama centers on Jefferson Pierce, a former superhero who returns to crime fighting because of his daughter, Jennifer. The cast includes Cress Williams, Nafessa Williams, China Anne McClain, Jill Scott, and Christine Adams.
On Black Lightning, Thuy will be playing Grace Choi, “a comic book fan who befriends Anissa (Williams) while she is coming to terms with her abilities and becomes Anissa’s first confidant about the struggles and challenges of having abilities.”
Black Lightning is slated to premiere on The CW in 2018.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Black Lightning comics? Will you watch the CW series?
FROM WATCHING THE TRAILER, IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY GOOD SHOW. I JUST WISH THAT IT WAS COMING ON SOONER THAN 2018.
