After assembling the Justice Society of America these past few weeks, DC Universe has now turned its attention to their villainous counterparts the Injustice Society as casting on the live-action Stargirl series continues.
As per Deadline, Joy Osmanski (Santa Clarita Diet), Neil Hopkins (Lost) and Nelson Lee (Sneaky Pete) have been cast as Paula Brooks/Tigress, Lawrence ‘Crusher’ Crock/Sportsmaster and Dragon King respectively. Here’s the official character descriptions:
Tigress – ““Protecting and providing for her family, Paula Brooks hunts the world’s most dangerous game – humans – as the Tigress.”
Sportsmaster – “He sees his criminal pursuits as a game to win — and his competitors as targets to kill. The only thing more important to Crock than ‘the game’ is his family.”
Dragon King – “A deadly and mysterious hooded man…this controversial scientist has been experimenting on himself and his victims since the 1940s.”
