Earlier this week, we saw showrunner and creator Damon Lindelof address the concerns of fans over his small-screen Watchmen adaptation. And now, that series has assembled the core cast of its pilot episode.

As per Variety, The Leftovers’ Regina King, Django Unchained’s Don Johnson, Lincoln’s Tim Blake Nelson, An Officer and a Gentleman’s Louis Gossett Jr., The Brave’s Andrew Howard, and Rectify’s Adelaide Clemens has been cast in the show.

No details are known on just which characters any of these names are playing, although Regina King is believed to be the lead role of the series.

If you remember back to Lindelof’s open letter, he explained how the series will introduce new characters into the world of Watchmen, with the show said to not be a direct adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ source material; instead being more of a new tale that will run concurrently with what we already know about Watchmen.

Watchmen began life back in 1986 as a 12-issue miniseries from Moore and Gibbons, soon going on to become a hugely acclaimed classic and a tale regularly cited as one of the greatest comic book/graphic novel stories of all time. A big screen adaptation finally happened in 2009, with Zack Snyder directing a huge blockbuster starring the likes of Billy Crudup, Malin Akerman, Jackie Earle Haley, Matthew Goode, Patrick Wilson, Carla Gugino, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
