ABC has found the female lead for "Marvel's Inhumans". Serinda Swan ("Smallville", "Tron: Legacy", "Chicago Fire", "Graceland") is officially announced to play Medusa on the upcoming superhero series.

Medusa is Black Bolt's most trusted advisor, a fiercely resilient warrior who has the ability to move and control her hair the way most people use their hands and fingers. Anson Mount will play the King while Iwan Rheon will portray his brother Maximus.

"Serinda empowers Medusa's regal glory and still maintains a relatability that synced perfectly with the character," executive producer Jeph Loeb says. "She is nothing short of wonderful." Showrunner Scott Buck adds, "Serinda Swan brings a regal elegance, as well as a sense of great inner strength and fierce determination, to the role of Medusa. I couldn't be happier to have her as our Queen of Attilan."

The show will debut in IMAX theaters over Labor Day weekend in September for a two-week run before the extended episodes airs on ABC.
