A lot of big stars have already been revealed to be playing in Gerard Way’s ‘The Umbrella Academy’. Another star has been added to the list.

Not only is she an actress, but she is also a great singer! It is Mary J. Blige, mainly known for her roles in ‘Mudbound’ and ‘Rock of Ages’.

Deadline revealed that she will play Cha-Cha and had the following to say about her character:

“She’s a ruthless and unorthodox hitwoman who travels through time to kill assigned targets. Even though she has a few gripes about the bureaucracy of her employers, this job is her life. She is sadistic, sociopathic, and her reputation precedes her. Her true love is torture, and she thinks of herself as a ‘pain artist.’ She really doesn’t care for people—except for her partner Hazel.”

If you weren’t stoked for the series yet, you must be now!
