Casting is underway on AMC’s upcoming TV adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s acclaimed comic book series Preacher, with Deadline reporting that Ruth Negga (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) has joined the cast of the pilot as the female lead Tulip.
The ex-girlfriend of the titular preacher Jesse Custer, Tulip is described as “a volatile, action-packed, sexified force of nature, a capable, unrepentant criminal with a love of fashion and ability to construct helicopter-downing bazookas out of coffee cans and corn shine who’s not afraid to steal, kill or corn cob-stab her way out of a bad situation.”
The pilot for Preacher has been penned by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, with Sam Catlin serving as showrunner.
