Remember that actor spotted on the set of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with an oddly metallic blue arm? Well, he's no Kree, as Marvel have confirmed that Brian Patrick Wade has been cast in the series as Crusher Creel, a.k.a. The Absorbing Man! We also have the first official image...
The season two premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is set to kick off in style with an appearance from Crusher Creel, a character better known to comic book fans as the villainous Absorbing Man! Marvel made the news official on their site today, and simultaneously put an end to that recent Kree speculation by unveiling the following image of Generation Kill and Teen Wolf star Brian Patrick Wade in the role. They go on to describe this take on the Absorbing Man with the following: "With his ability to absorb the properties of anything he touches, Creel will put Coulson and his team through their paces when their second season kicks off...but you'll have to wait until then to see how their battle turns out!" The former Wonder Woman actress who will play Mockingbird in the series was also recently revealed, and you can read more about that by clicking here.
