Get ready to meet the counterparts activated by the Umbrella Academy timeline.
Netflix revealed the cast of Sparrow Academy’s seven very special “children”, who are about to appear in season three.
To begin with, it should come as no surprise that series veterinarian Justin H. Min, who plays Ben, is now playing Sparrow # 2 (as provoked at the end of season 2). “This is not the sweet Ben we know and love,” says his teaser. “This Ben is a Machiavellian strategist, wrapped in a beautiful boy’s body with a thundering squid. Vicious, pragmatic and hyper-vigilant, Ben is determined to earn his status as a leader at all costs. “
As for the new faces….
Justin Cornwell (The middle ground, CBS ‘ Training Day) will play Marcus, also known as Sparrow # 1, a “charming and sculpted colossus. Honest, virtuous and demanding, Marcus keeps the family together. Graceful but lethal, calculated yet compassionate, he is as smart as he is strong. Marcus is disciplined, rational and in control. He exudes confidence and leadership without ever having to raise his voice. “
Britne Oldford (Flash, The Way) will play Fei, also known as Sparrow # 3, who “sees the world in a special way. She looks like a misanthrope who would rather be alone than spend a second with you. But, truth be told, Fei would like to have a friend. Most of the time, Fei is the smartest person in the room and willing to work things out. But if you run into her, there’s no turning back, because Fei won’t stop until the job is done. “
Jake Epstein (Designated Survivor, Suits) will play Alphonso, also known as Sparrow # 4. “Years of fighting crime have left countless visual reminders of his battles on his face and body,” says his teaser. “To compensate, Alphonso is armed with a caustic and sharp sense of humor. The only thing he likes more than verbally assaulting someone foolish enough to get in his face is a good pizza and a six-pack. “
Genesis Rodriguez (The Fugitive, Time after Time) will play Sloane, also known as Sparrow # 5, “a romantic and dreamer who feels a higher cosmic vocation leaving her eager to see the world and experience a life beyond her education. But obligations to his family keep Sloane tied to the Academy, as does his fear of crossing the family line. But Sloane has plans … and one day she can be brave enough to act on them. “
Cazzie David (Eighty-six miniseries creator / star) will play Jayme, also known as Sparrow # 6, “a loner hidden under a sweatshirt. She doesn’t say much because she doesn’t have to. Jayme has a growl of fear. Take a look at him and you’ll run across the street to avoid what follows. Smart and sharp as a knife, she spends most of her time with Alphonso, her only friend. “
And last but not least…. The “newcomer” Psykronium Cube Fear-inducing TV will play Christopher, also known as Sparrow # 7, “a telekinetic cube of unknown origin. It can turn the room into freezing cold and induce paralyzing fear. He acts as the consulted oracle of the Sparrows, who gives incredible advice and serves as family mediator. Reliable, loyal and treated by Sparrows like any other brother, Christopher is a force to be reckoned with. “
It was previously announced that Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Ritu Arya, Adam Godley and Colm Feore are ready to reprise their roles for season 3, which begins production in February , In Toronto.
