Damon Lindelof’s HBO Watchmen series has been shooting for a while at this stage, but the casting announcement keep on coming.

The latest additions are British actress Sara Vickers (Endeavor, The Crown) and none other than Black Manta himself, Aquaman star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

As has been the case with every bit of casting news up until now, the characters they'll be playing are being kept under wraps - but you might be able to match some of these recent breakdowns to the stars of the show.

Abdul-Mateen II and Vickers join the likes of Jeremy Irons, Regina King, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr. and Adelaide Clemens. Lindelof with executive produce along with Nicole Kassell, who is directing the pilot.

They have brought togethee quite the ensemble there. I think that if this wasn't in some way based on Watchmen I'd already be excited about it based on the cast alone.

Nice. Interesting that his Aquaman co-star was Nite Owl in the Watchmen movie.

To me, he'll always be Cadillac. He was my favorite character on that show.

Hell yes, what a great addition.

Mateen AND Irons in the last few days?! I was skeptical at first after those set pics, but this keeps getting more and more interesting.

I'm in.
