deadline.com/2017/11/deadly-class-syfy-cast-comic-based-drama-pilot-1202205180/

>Syfy has set the full cast for its Deadly Class pilot, a drama based on the graphic novel of the same name, by Rick Remender and Wes Craig, with The Avengers directors Joe and Anthony Russo executive producing.

>Co-created by Remender and Miles Feldsott, the pilot Deadly Class follows a disillusioned teen recruited into a storied high school for assassins. Maintaining his moral code while surviving a ruthless curriculum, vicious social cliques, and his own adolescent uncertainties may prove fatal. Set against the backdrop of late 80s counter culture, Deadly Class is described as a coming of age journey unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

>Benedict Wong is set for the series regular role of Master Lin, the headmaster of the School for the Deadly Arts. Deadly and feared. He’s an ever-changing chameleon who keeps his students desperate for his approval.

>Benjamin Wadsworth will play Marcus. At one point we were all Marcus, an awkward outcast full of social anxiety struggling to find his place in the cold and brutal world of high school. Marcus is bottled rage, if his life had been normal this kid might have been an artist, even a poet. Instead he’s had to survive life on the streets of San Francisco. His eyes show it. He’s morally centered in an unethical world.

>Lana Condor will play Saya, mysterious and guarded with a deadly reputation. Saya was banished from one of the top Yakuza clans in Japan, sent to the School for the Deadly Arts to redeem herself. Driven to be the valedictorian, nothing will stand in her way.

>Maria Gabriela de Faria is set for Maria. One minute Maria’s an extrovert and an exhibitionist, a tornado of ever changing emotions—fierce, charming, beautiful and oozing femininity — the next she’s murderous, feral, and crippled by rage. At the School for the Deadly Arts her instability is treated like a super power.

Its a good cast. Bendict Wong is great. Lana Condor is mai aifu.

>Luke Tennie will play Willie, a hardened gangster, but underneath is an honest and thoughtful person who would rather be reading comic books and listening to music than engaging in blood work. Forced by his mother, leader of an LA gang, into the School for the Deadly Arts, he is under endless pressure to become the thing he hates most.

>Liam James is set to play Billy, skater punk, son of a corrupt cop and now a misfit at the school. He’s off kilter and high energy. Billy combats every situation with sarcasm and humor. Always a glimmer of mischief in his eye.

>Michel Duval will play Chico, scary, muscular, son of a cartel drug lord. Everyone knows not to mess with Chico. The only one who can hurt him is his girlfriend.

>In addition, Henry Rollins (Sons of Anarchy) will recur as Jürgen Denke, Taylor Hickson (Aftermath) as Petra, Siobhan Williams (UnREAL) as Brandy, Jack Gillett (Storker) as Viktor, Sean Depner (Last Night in Suburbia) as Lex and Ryan Robbins (Pure) as Rory.

>British actor Wong next year will star in Avengers: Infinity War and Alex Garland’s Annihilation. Wong is repped by himself and Attorney Robert Wallerstein.

>Wadsworth was last seen in the hit series finale episode of Teen Wolf and last year played the leading role of Henry in the TV pilot adaptation of the feature film, Let The Right One In. Wadsworth is repped by UTA, Principato-Young and Myman, Greenspan, Fineman, Fox, & Light LLP.

>Condor can next be seen as Koyomi in James Cameron’s Alita: Battle Angel out in 2018. Condor is represented by ICM and attorney Matt Rosen.

>De Faria most recently starred in the Latin America hit series Yo Soy Franky and will soon be seen in the starring role of Zaita in season two of period drama Sitiados. De Faria is repped by Buchwald, Sheri Howell at SuperKollider Management, and Chad Christopher / Hayes Robbins at Stone, Genow, Smelkinson, Binder and Christopher.

>James was most recently seen starring opposite Joan Allen in the series The Family, created by Jenna Bans. Prior to that, he played Duncan in The Way, Way Back. He is repped by Management 360, The Gersh Agency, and Stone, Genow, Smelkinson, Binder and Christopher.

>The Deadly Class pilot will be Tennie’s first TV gig. He has two features coming out: Rob Reiner’s film Shock and Awe opposite Woody Harrelson and James Marsden; lead in indie film Vengeance from director Dallas Jackson. He is repped by Abrams Artists Agency and Primary Wave Entertainment.

>Duval is a series regular in Señora Acero now in its fourth season and guest stars in Queen of the South. Duval is repped by TOR Entertainment/Talent On The Road Management.

>Deadly Class is produced by Universal Cable Productions and Sony Pictures Television. Adam Targum, Rick Remender, Miles Orion Feldsott, Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Mike Larocca, and Lee Toland Krieger serve as executive producers.

Are they gonna have that redneck call Marcus a nigger? also not sure how well this will translate well into Sup Forums desu

There's a LOT of stuff in deadly class that won't translate well to Sup Forums.

Well, HBO could handle it, but not SyFy.

Slurs are the least of their problems.

Sill, I'm excited about it.

I mean you got drug abuse, teenagers fucking, slurs, racism, parricide, pedophilia, there's so much that I'm not sure if the one we get on tv will resemble what we get from the comic. I feel like they're going for like an X-men approach desu

Well, if the trailers for Happy are any indication, the blood at least will flow liberally.

The sex and drugs will be likely limited to standard Cable levels.

Most of the rest likely dropped.

Netflix or HBO should have done it, that said I will watch it since I like Deadly class

One of the early antagonists was openly into beastiality, wonder if they'll actually add that part to the adaptation

The Orphan guy? Yeah, he even caged the Orphanage head lady into a cage and made her his fuck pet. Lmao.

Deadly Class is awesome. Syfy will mangle it.
Why is it on syfy anyway? It doesn't have that kind of element.
Maybe FX could do it justice.

Anyway, point me to who js playing Maria

How is deadly class? I stopped reading when the main cast got gutted and the femaining cast were cunts.

Well, Maria and Marcus have been revealed to be alive all this time. so there's that.

Uh well it was revealed Marcus didn't really die it ranges from boring to good these days

Are you serious?

Yeah Marcus and Maria are alive. Doing drugs and fucking in Mexico. How they survived?! I don't even remember.

Maria wasn't killed she was kept alive to be tortured by the Spic chick and Marcus wasn't killed because the jap chick didn't stab his vital organs.

Maria's poisoning was just a capture thing so she could be tortured by the matriarch of the cartel that owned her.

Marcus was poisoned with the sword, and stabbed in a BS comic way to make him look like he died. He was later revived by Saya. She sent him down to Mexico to free Maria.

But Saya recently got captured by her psychotic older brother who took over her Yakuza family before everyone realized what a monster he was. most people think she's dead, but she's drugged to the gills and in the hands of a monster.

Also, Maria and Marcus were discovered by Petra and the new kids. . . and then by the Appalachians hoe and the giant Russian.

And the cartels.

So, shit's going down.

The big Russian kid about to die.
The gf of the School President or whatever is already dead.

The shit went down in Mexico. It took some time and you have to wade through Petra and that weird German kid to get there but it's worth it.

The African girl, Zanzele or whatever, is interesting. I think she's a tranny who killed her parents but has been writing them letters.

>that weird German

You mean the D&D playing metalhead who really wants to be Conan the barbarian?

Goddamn awesome is what he is!

The fat girl died already? Fuck missed it, what issue? Also will Marcus kill Petra after finding out what she did or what?

To your latter question, Marcus was pissed when they were found but it was all smoothed over.

They did some drugs, had an orgy and everyone was bubs afterwards.

They will likely loop around to the Petra thing again later. Right now thought, they running from the big ruskie and the gang

It wasn't an orgy, they didn't swap partners.

>drama
welp fuck it

>pedophilia
i don't remember this i also wonder if marcus will go down like a bitch like in the comic

It was hinted orphanage lady was raping Marcus.

what a twist, so he is not even a secondary character now rigth

Orgies are sex parties. Partner swapping isn't mandatory.

He's back to protagonist status since somthing happened to Saya

i see i didn't think much about the "pretty boy" stuff
ok i might catch up with the comic still the way marcus isnt dead is super retarded

Also Cartel boss was fugging Maria as well I believe, comic is alright. Shit is heating up tho, I'm waiting for Marcus and the gang to fight the sensei dude.

i'm not mad about maria cause i remember thinking master linn didn't kill her when i read the issue but marcus is totally different his vision with his parents is meanigless now

Yeah you're right, Marcus "death" had closure since he was with his parents then again I didn't think Marcus died since Remender has the habit of killing of the protagonist just to bring them back later.

>Lana Condor will play Saya
