Chad Coleman, star of AMC’s The Walking Dead and Hulu’s The Orville, has been cast in a new role. Coleman is fondly remembered in TWDU for his portrayal of Tyreese, the compassionate brother of Sasha Williams (Sonequa Martin-Green) on The Walking Dead. Currently, he can be seen in the sci-fi series The Orville as Klyden, a role he has played since season 1 of the series.
Coleman attended this weekend’s Dragoncon held each Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, Georgia. The Direct reports that during the ”Arrow Guests: Saving Star City” panel, it was confirmed that Coleman would join Superman & Lois season 3 as a villain. Although the villain was announced at the panel, Coleman’s Instagram posts used hashtags with the name Bruno Mannheim, giving possible clues to his role. This name was also mentioned during the season 2 finale of the series.
In the comics, Mannheim is one of the world’s greatest crime bosses as the leader of the Intergang. He is a devout worshiper of the Religion of Crime and their Crime Bible and a loyal servant to Darkseid.
