HBO's Watchmen TV Show: 8 Reasons To Be Excited
4. The Confirmed Talent
There's been a lot of discussion about the source material and the history of the IP, but don't let that distract you from the impressive cast assembled here. Currently, only two members of the cast have had their roles confirmed, with the immensely-underrated Tim Blake Nelson playing a character called "Looking Glass" and Jeremy "I Killed Mufasa" Irons playing an older, potentially wiser Ozymandias.
Beyond that, there has been a slew of talented people announced as parts of the show, although their roles remain unconfirmed outside of a leaked character breakdown list. Regina King, Don Johnson, Lou Gossett Jr, and even Black Manta himself Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will all be making appearances throughout the season.
The sheer presence of these names is exciting, knowing that one or several of them could be playing someone familiar or someone new.
