A casting announcement is expected to arrive in the near future and for those of you unfamiliar with the hero, Roberto Da Costa is a mutant with the ability to harness the sun’s power, which grants him superhuman strength, speed and durability. Born in Brazil, Roberto comes from a wealthy family and is both brash and quick tempered. Initially a member of the New Mutants, Roberto has since developed a long history with various X-Men teams and even The Avengers.

There is also news about The Defenders star Rosario Dawson joining the spinoff. There’s no word on who she might be playing, but that would be a stellar casting addition. It’s previously been rumoured that the New Mutants villain will be Demon Bear, so perhaps Dawson will be starring as the character in a human form.
