Kaci Walfall will be playing Naomi in Ava DuVernay’s superhero pilot  for the CW.

Walfall’s Naomi is described as “an effortlessly cool and confident high school student who is the adopted daughter of doting parents. Popular with all the kids in her military town, Naomi is unafraid to embrace her AP-student, comic book–loving nerdiness. After a supernatural event leads to the discovery of her powers within, Naomi pursues her hidden destiny.”

SHIELD’s Alexander Wraith will play Dee, the owner of a local tattoo parlour. When a strange event leaves the town in chaos, Dee hints that he knows more than he is willing to tell.

Cranston Johnson has been cast as Zumbado, the mysterious owner of a local used car lot. Having heard troubling rumours about his past, Naomi actively tries to avoid him, but a tense encounter leaves her both shaken and curious.

Camilla Moreno is Lourdes, a young woman with a sarcastic sense of humor who works in a vintage collectibles shop. She has an unrequited crush on Naomi, and she shares her obsession with classic comics. She is also happy to join in on Naomi’s schemes.

Naomi is based on the comicbook by Brian Michael Bendis and David F. Walker, illustrated by Jamal Campbell.
