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.
