After unveiling the official poster for Westworld season four at their ATX TV Festival panel yesterday, HBO brought out original cast member James Marsden (X-Men; Sonic the Hedgehog) to announce that he's coming back to the acclaimed HBO series in a major recurring role.
Details are being kept under lock and key, but we can probably safely assume that he'll be playing a new character this season instead of reprising his original role as Teddy Flood, who tragically killed himself in season two after realizing that Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) had altered his programming. His conscious mind was later uploaded to The Sublime.
Marsden, who is coming in hot after the blockbuster success of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, rejoins fellow returning cast members Evan Rachel Wood (Christina), Ed Harris (William/The Man in Black), Thandiwe Newton (Maeve Millay), Aaron Paul (Caleb Nichols), Tessa Thompson (Charlotte Hale), Jeffrey Wright (Bernard Lowe), Luke Hemsworth (Ashley Stubbs), and Angela Sarafyan (Clementine Pennyfeather).
Newcomers to the cast include Aurora Perrineau, Ariana DeBose, Daniel Wu, and Lili Simmons.
Westworld season four will consist of eight episodes, with its season premiere set for June 26.
