Marvel's The Inhumans has their queen, as Serinda Swan has joined the cast of the upcoming TV series, as first reported on EW. The casting comes hot on the heels of Hell on Wheels star Anson Mount being cast as Black Bolt yesterday. Medusa, the queen of the ancient superpowered race, is known for her red hair, which often seems to have a mind of its own, as she can control every strand, using it as a superpowered whip, another limb, and an enveloping weapon.

Swan joins Mount and Game of Thrones alum Iwan Rheon, who was the first major character cast, Maximus. The Royal Family of the Inhumans, the stars of this series, also includes Medusa's sister Crystal, the tactician Karnak, the man-fish Triton, and the oversized teleporting dog named Lockjaw, all yet to be cast.

Serinda Swan was a series regular on Graceland and Breakout Kings, and had recurring guest roles on both The Tomorrow People and Chicago Fire. This isn't her first role with a comic book character, either. She played the magic-user Zatanna on a couple of episodes of Smallville, casting her spell on comic book fans. Other genre roles include an episode of Supernatural and a bit role in Tron: Legacy, as well as the role of the goddess Aphrodite in Percy Jackson.

"Serinda empowers Medusa's regal glory and still maintains a relatability that synced perfectly with the character," Marvel TV head and executive producer Jeph Loeb said in a statement. "She is nothing short of wonderful."

Showrunner Scott Buck added, "Serinda Swan brings a regal elegance, as well as a sense of great inner strength and fierce determination, to the role of Medusa. I couldn't be happier to have her as our Queen of Attilan."
