Brian Michael Bendis promised more casting news and he has delivered. Calista, a young girl who was raised raised by her stepdad but later goes on the run connects with Christian Walker and develops a close bond with him. Towards the end of the series, it is revealed that she does in fact have super powers and has taken over the role of "Retro Girl" while Walker tries to teach her how to handle her new found powers. The role will be played by 11 year old actress Bailee Madison.



Powers is set in a world where superpowers are relatively common but not mundane. It follows the lives of two detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, police officers in a Homicide department devoted to cases that involve "powers" (people with superpowers). Walker himself used to be a costumed superhero named Diamond, but became a police officer after he lost his abilities. Though stripped of his powers, he still retains his contacts within the superhero community

Ok, what's with the hate on the actress? SHE'S 11!

@PurpleHaze92, crying at will is one thing. Giving a convincing performance is another. She was really quite great in "Brothers", so I suggest you check that out before you judge her.

And @reasonn, not even funny.

She's a good little actress plus she is only 11 so most of her roles that people have seen her in were for a younger character and the whole crying thing was in the script. Of course I'm sure that there aren't very many 11 year old's that are as talented and as experienced to pull off the character.

this is a totally new story right?

not an adaptation...

Im glad there will be a new tv show about powers, but such a young actress for the main role? hehe

would preffer actors around 20, at least... but we'll see.

I hope its great.

@Cable I'm just messin around, I'm not exactly known for my lewdness if I'm known at all.

And if there are some serious Bailee Madison fans on here then there is a problem.

Especially on here, people are not know for being pillars of community. Although I know many of us think we are ;)

Off the wall comments are abound on this site and many "like" it but mine wasn't even rude or disgusting to warrant a chill out.

I would like to make a retraction on the under bite comment, she actually has an over bite not an under bite. Same difference.

Anyone on here play "Words with Friends" on their phones... game me User Name: BagOLies

Seriously she is a kid , and yes a very annoying one..Honestly if a movie comes out that I want to see , and realize she's in it I will not watch it ..I know it's bad to feel that way about another living creature, but something about her just repulses me, and makes me feel like I have to vomit..Freedom of speech, and everyone has their own taste period !I'm thirteen .Just saying !
