Report: Christine Adams Joins Black Lightning Cast In Ex-Wife Role
Another actor appears to have joined the cast of CW's Black Lightning TV show. According to a report from Deadline, Christine Adams has been cast in the role of Lynn, ex-wife of the titular Black Lightning. Produced by Arrowverse mogul Greg Berlanti and written and produced by Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil, Black Lightning is based on the character created by Tony Isabella and with Trevor Von Eeden for DC Comics, as Gerry Conway begrudgingly admits. The show was originally planned for Fox, until CW realized that they could potentially fill their entire weekly lineup with comic book shows if they add just a few new ones.
Black Lightning won't be Adams' first comic book rodeo. She played Agent Weaver on Season 3 of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and her career has apparently survived.
