Russell Tovey is headed to The CW. TVLine reports the Quantico star will star in the network’s upcoming series Freedom Fighters: The Ray.
From DC Comics, the animated series is set in an alternate world called Earth X where the Nazis won World War II. The story centers on The Ray, a metahuman with light manipulation powers who teams up with other heroes against evil. Notably, The Ray will be the gay metahuman to headline a TV show.
Tovey will not only voice The Ray on Freedom Fighters; he will also play the character on The CW’s upcoming four-part Arrow-verse crossover. Freedom Fighters: The Ray is slated to debut on The CW Seed later this year, and the big DC crossover event begins November 27th and continues on November 28th.
From The CW:
Raymond “Ray” Terrill was a reporter who discovered a group of government scientists working on a secret project to turn light into a weapon of mass destruction. But before he could report on his findings, the project head exposed Ray to a “genetic light bomb.” The bomb failed to kill him and instead gifted Ray with light-based powers. With these abilities, Ray realized he could go beyond reporting on injustice — he could take action to help stop it. Calling himself The Ray, he was recruited by Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters to fight violence and oppression wherever it exists.”
