That Hashtag Show have apparently seen the casting descriptions for the film and highlighted one in particular of interest to us:
[JOE] Male, any ethnicity, 30-50 years old. We are looking for actors 5’6” and under. He’s a gun for hire. He is the black sheep of his family. Not from good breeding but from a working class family. Short. Puck-like, with an interesting character face.REQUIRES SEQUEL OPTIONS.
Could this actually be the infamous Puck from Alpha Flight? It’s unclear how interconnected the spin-off will be and if it will be opening the door to the Canadian superteam, however the description is very “inside baseball” and presumes that the casting director has in-depth comic knowledge. However, there are literally hundreds of characters that could fit that description.
Could that be too obvious though?
Comicbook.com delve further with another casting:
[PIA] Female, Native American, early 20s. Street, tough, punk. ROLE REQUIRES SEQUEL OPTIONS.
That Hashtag Show speculates that Pia could be indicative of a crossover with New Mutants using the character Dani Moonstar, played by Blu Hunt, but if Puck could be in the movie, why not Talisman, the Native American mystic from Alpha Flight?
While both are very much leaps of comicbook faith, it's nice to see Judd mentioned in the mix yet again.
