Sony has given GameSpot.com an exclusive look at artist and co-creator Michael Avon Oeming’s take on some of the actors in Season 2 of Powers, which will premiere in 2016 to stream on the PlayStation Network
A live action series adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming’s comic book series, Powers season one previously ranked as the most-watched series premiere on the platform. All ten episodes of Powers season One are available on the PlayStation Network and are free to PlayStation Plus subscribers.
Powers, written by Bendis and drawn by Oeming, tells the story of homicide detectives Christian Walker (Sharlto Copley)and Deena Pilgrim (Susan Heyward) who work cases specific to the world of superheroes, super villains, and everyone in between, called Powers.
Also featured in the series are Olesya Rulin as Calista, Logan Browning as Zora, Timothy Perez as FBI Special Agent Slag, Enrico Colantoni as an ex-Power, Senator Bailey Brown, Raul Casso as Sgt. Martinez, Matthew Yang King as THX, Dominic Rains as The Lance, Justice Leak as Detective Kutter, Tricia Helfer as FBI Special Agent Lange, Wil Wheaton, and Michael Madsen as SuperShock.
According to the site, “Season two will delve deep into the “Who Killed Retro Girl?” storyline that kicked off the comics back in 2000. As you might surmise from the title, Retro Girl (Michelle Forbes) was the victim of a murder most foul, and it’s up to Christian Walker (Sharlto Copley), Deena Pilgrim (Susan Heyward), and the rest of the Powers Division to solve the mystery of her death.”
Detective Christian Walker is played by Sharlto Copley. Oeming discussed with GameSpot what it was like drawing the actor’s likeness for the poster.
“I really enjoy bringing what the actors have brought to the characters- Sharlto has created an intensity to Walker that we rarely showed in the comic, Walker is a reserved character, with lots of secrets. He doesn’t often express himself outside of extreme situations. Sharlto’s Walker wears his emotions on his sleeve, he’s in constant turmoil or excitement of some kind, he invites the viewer in instead of locking them out with mystery, so I’ve really enjoyed that.”
