Some interesting casting news this morning. TV Line is reporting that The Royals actress Elizabeth Hurley has joined the cast of Marvel’s Runaways season three.
Hurley will be taking on the role of evil sorceress Morgan le Fay. In the comics le Fay has ties to Fantastic Four villain Doctor Doom, Spider-Woman, and the legendary King Arthur.
A brief statement from Marvel Television’s Jeph Loeb said: “Elizabeth Hurley is joining the Marvel Universe, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her portraying one of the most enchanting Marvel characters.”
The Runaways have left their homes (and evil parents) behind and now have to learn to live on their own. As they scavenge for food, search for shelter, and take care of one another, our kids begin to realize that, for better or worse, they’re stuck with each other. And it’s up to them to take down PRIDE once and for all. But someone sent a mysterious message to Jonah… Is there a mole in the Runaways? Meanwhile PRIDE is focused on finding their children, and Jonah has his own dangerous plan in mind.
