Glau meanwhile is playing a cute and intrepid investigative blogger named Orwell who bravely exposes corruption and costumed bad guys, THR reported. The character is also capable of getting physical and "kicking ass".
Beside Lyons and Glau, James Frain from "The Tudors" has also been cast as a villain. Tom Wheeler, the scribe behind "Empire" is tackling the job as a screenwriter to the pilot.
