According to Variety, Lost alum, Ken Leung will play Karnak on Marvel’s Inhumans.

Leung’s character is part of the royal family, cousin to King of the Inhumans, Black Bolt.

Karnak is gifted with the power to see flaws every living and non-living object. It is because of this gift that he’s seen as the royal family’s philosopher and key planner.

Executive producer and Marvel’s head of television, Jeph Loeb said, “Ken brings a wisdom and a power to the role that no one else could match. His Karnak will be awesome.”

Aside from Lost, Leung previously starred in the drama series, The Night Shift.

Leung’s casting news comes shortly after Anson Mount and Serinda Swan were announced as Black Bolt and Medusa earlier this week.

The first two episodes of Marvel’s Inhumans will hit theatres in IMAX this September before the 8-episode run will be seen on ABC this fall.
