The Hollywood Reporter, May Calamawy (known for playing Dena Hassan on Hulu's
Ramy) will appear alongside Oscar Isaac's Marc Spector in "a key role," although it's anyone's guess what role she'll be playing. If we
had to guess, we'd say the actress may have been tapped to portray Marlene Alraune, a character with a strong connection to Spector's origin story (in which the mercenary-for-hire is left for dead and revived by an Egyptian moon deity). The two were also romantically-linked in the comics, with Marlene proving herself to be an invaluable ally.

The Marvel Studios-produced show hopes to kick off production in Budapest this March, but that could, of course, change with so much in flux amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Mohamed Diab and the filmmaking duo of Aaron Moorehead and Justin Benson are all attached as directors. Jeremy Slater is showrunning.
