‘Into the Storm’s’ Alycia Debnam-Carey Joins ‘Walking Dead’ Spinoff Series!

Alycia Debnam-Carey

Australian actress Alycia Debnam-Carey is set to star in AMC’s “Cobalt,” the eagerly anticipated spinoff series to its ratings juggernaut “The Walking Dead.” She joins a cast that so far includes Cliff Curtis (Colombiana) and Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince).

Written by “Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman and Dave Erickson, who serves as showrunner, the spinoff takes place during the very same zombie apocalypse of the original “Walking Dead,” but is set in an entirely different location. The show will center on two families.

Based on character descriptions leaked in September, Debnam-Carey plays Ashley Tompkins, the smart and ambitious daughter of guidance counselor and single mom Nany Tompkins and sister to junkie fuck-up Nick Tompkins (Dillana).

Debnam-Carey made her American feature film debut in the underrated disaster flick Into the Storm. She also co-stars alongside Jennifer Carpenter in the upcoming demonic frightener The Devil’s Hand.

Cara Delevinge

Warner Bros. has announced its cast for David Ayer’s Suicide Squad: Jared Leto as Joker, Will Smith as Deadshot, Tom Hardy as Rick Flag, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, model-turned-actress Cara Delevinge as Enchantress, and Wolf of Wall Street stunner Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn.

Warner Bros. executive Ben Silverman said:

The Warner Bros. roots are deep on this one. David Ayer returns to the studio where he wrote Training Day and brings his incredible ability to craft multidimensional villains to this iconic DC property with a cast of longtime Warner collaborators Will Smith and Tom Hardy, and other new and returning favorites: Margot, Jared, Jai and Cara. We look forward to seeing this terrific ensemble, under Ayer’s amazing guidance, give new meaning to what it means to be a villain and what it means to be a hero.

With the exception of Joker and Harley Quinn, we’ve never heard of these Suicide Squad characters. Chances are the movie will be a bloated affair just like the majority of all superhero movies. But, it does have some interesting factors, namely Leto taking on Joker after Heath Ledger’s incomparable turn and Robbie as his sexy sidekick Harley Quinn—can’t wait to see the costume on her!

We’re also excited to see Delevinge (pictured) as Enchantress. The 22-year-old British fashion model made her acting debut for Joe Wright (Hanna) in Anna Karenina and will also be seen in the director’s re-imagining of the classic Peter Pan tale, Pan.
