With The Boys gearing up to premiere its second season next month, now comes word that Shawn Ashmore will be a part of the new season.

Via CinemaBlend, Ashmore – who is likely best known to genre fans for playing the X-Men’s Bobby Drake, aka Iceman – will be playing Lamplighter in Season Two. That character was briefly referenced in The Boys’ first season, and he’s someone who is a former key member of The Seven.

On this news, showrunner Erik Kripke enthused, “We were thrilled that Shawn – who is, let’s be honest, an OG superhero – wanted to play the crucial part of Lamplighter. He brings so much depth, menace, and world weary humanity to this former member of The Seven. And Shawn is a really good guy. We’re grateful to have him join our bloody little family.”

Season Two of The Boys will hit Amazon Prime Video on September 4.
