Matt Willig Cast As Lash in Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Marvel Entertainment has revealed that actor Matt Willig will play the Inhuman character Lash in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. third season.
And now, we know whose face will go under all that Inhuman makeup. Willig is a former NFL football player, who’s filled a number of minor action-heavy roles in film and television. His resume includes Cold Case, Chuck, NCIS, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Year One, and We’re The Millers.
Lash was created in 2014's Inhuman #1 by writer Charles Soule and artist Joe Madureira. A hulking beast of an Inhuman, Lash hails from Orollan, a hidden city of Inhumans who believe the bloodline - and those who get exposed to the Terrigen Mists - must be kept pure (somewhat similar to the city of Inhumans in season 2 of the show). Strong and agile, Lash also has the ability to absorb and expel energy.
Marvel has not revealed when Willig will appear on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., though with the "Secret Warriors" tag and the idea that Skye will be out looking for other powered people (including Inhumans), he debut shouldn’t be too far along.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” returns for an action-packed third season, with Director Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and Agent Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet) leading the charge as S.H.I.E.L.D. searches the world for more powered people in the aftermath of their epic battle with Jiaying and her army of Inhumans. However, Coulson and the team soon find out that they are not the only group looking for these new Inhumans.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season Three premieres September 29 at 9:00 on ABC.
