Thanks to Randolph for the heads up.
Are there any Marvel villains exclusively from the ‘40s you have access to?
Tara: Here’s the thing. It’s a little hard. In the comic books, a lot of the Marvel period, there are issue rights. Our villain from the season is very much a Marvel villain that we co-opted a little bit like we did Dr. Fennhoff in the first season.
Chris: It’s a ‘40s version of that villain.
What was modern about Madame Masque that just wouldn’t work in the ‘40s?
Tara: I think we’ve changed the look of her a bit obviously. We’ve made her an actress, which is very Hedy Lamar. She was a ‘40s siren actress who was also a scientific genius, so that’s part of what we’re mining with this character.
Have you cast her?
Tara: Yes, we have but we’re not allowed to announce it yet.
