Despite being one of his primary goals, and having allies like Thunder and Gambi, Jefferson Pierce has yet to bring Tobias Whale to justice. Now, with the casting of RJ Cyler in a key recurring role, it looks like Whale may become an even bigger problem for the heroes of Freeland.
According to reports, the Power Rangers actor has joined the cast as Todd Green. The new character is described as a "gangly and awkward tech genius who's passed over for a research grant" and subsequently receives "an offer to join Tobias Whale."
While it's not explicitly said in the character description, it's all but a guarantee that Tobias will use Green's skills for a nefarious purpose, similar to the way he utilizes Khalil, a.k.a. Painkiller.
However, it should be interesting to see if the newest addition to Black Lightning Season 2 is as conflicted about working for Tobias Whale as Khalil, or if he's more than willing to work with the deadly villain.
