Many fans were left excited and intrigued by the recent announcement that Justice League actor Jeremy Irons had joined the production, and now HBO and Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen series has recruited three new performers.

The latest additions to the adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon’s acclaimed comic book are Frances Fisher (Titanic), Tom Mison (Sleepy Hollow) and Jacob Ming-Trent who recently had a role in Sony’s SuperFly remake.

Like all of the other members of the series’ cast, details on the characters these three actors will be portraying are being kept under wraps. However, with no sign of any familiar heroes from the comics and set photos indicating a very different story, there’s a good chance they won’t be playing actual Watchmen members.

I loved Season one of Sleepy Hollow, had that right amount of Darkness that the Subject needed, but took a big dip after.

Glad Tom got another big show, hopefully the stunning Nicole Beharie get's another big show, and something I would watch.

Is Irons playing Ozymandias?

@Ronan3Accuser - Supposedly Ozzy is dead. I think that there was a visible newspaper headline or something stating that. Of course there could be flashbacks.

@RolandD - I think he may be alive and Irons looks pretty good in that role as a older Ozzy

I always thought Mison would make a great Allan Quatermain if they ever make a new League of Extrordinary Gentlemen.

I’ not so sure about “highly anticipated,” at least based on comments on this site. Much of the response here seems more like, WTF. This show looks like it should be titled “Inspired by Watchmen.” Doesn’t mean it can’t be good, but with what we know now, it only seems to b trading on th name. I’m willing to be pleasantly surprised.

They found the perfect Dr Strange with Benedict Cumberbatch, but when I first saw Tom Mison in Sleepy Hollow, I thought how awesome a Dr Strange he would make.
If they ever make a Dr Strange tv series, I’d love to see him in the role.
And yes, he’s make a great Dr Who as well. Haha

Good to see Tom Mison, I enjoyed him in the few episodes of Sleepy Hollow I watched before I got bored with the show. He was wasted on that stupidity
