Marvel Entertainment has announced the casting of four
new actors to the upcoming second season of Marvel's Agent Carter, and they are
Currie Graham, Reggie Austin, Lotte Verbeek, and Wynn Everett.
Everett will play Whitney Frost, a Hollywood actress
and brilliant inventor who becomes Madame Masque.
"Whitney Frost is a character with a storied history in the Marvel
comics, and we’re excited to get the opportunity to introduce her to fans of
the Marvel Cinematic Universe," said Executive Producers Tara Butters,
Michele Fazekas and Chris Dingess. "Inspired by Hollywood icons like
Hedy Lamarr and Lauren Bacall, we knew we needed an actor who was classically
glamorous and fiercely intelligent. Wynn is both, and we’re thrilled to
watch her bring this formidable character to life."
Verbeek (The Fault in Our Stars, Outlander) has been tasked in bringing to
life the free-spirited wife of Edwin Jarvis, Ana Jarvis, who immediately
befriends Peggy and helps her to adjust to life in Los Angeles.
"For a character fans love as much as Jarvis, we had to find him a
partner who would be equally beloved," said Marvel’s Head of Television
Jeph Loeb. "Lotte brings ease, sincerity and warmth to the role that’s
just perfect."
Known for his work on Pompeii and Hitchcock actor Currie Graham brings his
talents to the role of Calvin Chadwick, a high-powered businessman and husband
of Hollywood actress Whitney Frost (Wynn Everett).
"We knew we needed an actor versatile enough to go head-to-head with
both Hayley and Wynn, and Currie Graham is one of those actors who can truly do
anything" said Butters, Fazekas and Dingess. "He brings a grounded, human
quality to Calvin Chadwick, a complex character who lives at the center of
Season 2’s intrigue."
Finally, Reggie Austin from Life Unexpected, and Devious Maids will play
Jason Wilkes, a quirky yet charismatic scientist who instantly charms Peggy.
"We were impressed by Reggie as soon as we met with him," said
Loeb. "He has a unique ability to be handsome and charming while also
being extremely accessible. We knew he could portray a character whom both
audiences and Peggy would love."
Marvel's Agent Carter returns during the midseason hiatus on ABC.
