According to Brian Michael Bendis, the FX adaptation of Powers will begin filming soon. As previously mentioned, the pilot is supposed to start shooting in June.



We're filming in just a few weeks," Bendis said to Newsarama. "Our cast is being locked down. Literally, the deals are being closed as we speak — some really surprising names.

It's very, very exciting," Bendis said. "We're designing, we have costumes, we have sets. It's really underway. It's not one of those bullsh*t announcements you'll have to sit through all the time, trying to figure out if it's real.


Bendis, who is also executive producer of the show had this to say about his heavy involvement in the show's production

It was one of those situations where I could choose my level of involvement," Bendis said. "This is a very positive experience, with very interesting, smart storytellers, and that's all I'm looking for in life, that kind of experience. I'm lucky that we've found it.

Charles S. Dutton has been cast in the role of Captain Cross while Kyle Chandler of Super 8 and Friday Night Lights was rumored to be up for the role of Christian Walker. No other casting news but im sure we will hear more in the coming weeks.

I'm not expecting Powers to be the next Walking Dead, but it should be good. I hope Katee Sackhoff landed the role of Deena Pilgrim.
