Dichen Lachman

It’s good to see that siding with Marvel or DC doesn’t exclude you from popping up on the other side of the fence later on. The most recent person to do so is Dichen Lachman, aka Agents of SHIELD’s Jiaying.

She will be making an appearance in Supergirl, as the villainous Roulette. ComicBook.com confirmed the news, saying her character operates an underground metahuman fight club in National City, with her eyes set on Supergirl.

In the comics, Roulette is mostly known as a villain to the Justice Society of America, who we’ll see on screen later this year in the newest season of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

She joins quite the line up of new characters for the show’s second series, including Tyler Hoechlin as Superman, Sharon Leal as Miss Martian, Chris Wood as Mon-El, Ian Gomez as Snapper Carr, Floriana Lima as Maggie Sawyer.and Lynda Carter as the currently unnamed President.

Super girl is back on the box on the 10th October.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
