It’s recently been announced that Charlie Hunnam will be returning to the realm of television, taking on the lead role in Amazon Prime’s upcoming crime drama series, Criminal. It’s been quite a while since Hunnam last starred in an ongoing TV show, with his only other television credit since Sons of Anarchy’s finale in 2014 being the Apple TV+ miniseries, Shantaram. Hunnam’s return to the medium that made him into a household name, however, is more than just a big deal in that singular sense. Not many people may be aware, but Criminal just so happens to be based on a comic book series of the same name. With the comic book series having been previously published under a certain imprint of Marvel Comics, on a level of technicality, Hunnam has become one of the latest actors to join a project based on a Marvel property.The comic book’s history isn’t the only connection that can be made with Marvel, however. The show’s main and supporting cast just so happens to be stacked with actors who audiences may recognize from their previous involvement in Marvel films and television series, both inside and outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Those who have read the comics have every reason to be excited about what could potentially be a solid and popular adaptation. For those who are completely unaware of the source material, the casting alone should be enough to hype them up.Despite the amount of credibility he has since established as a movie star, the announcement of Hunnam’s casting in Criminal has plenty of reasons for fans of his work to be excited. According to Variety, Hunnam’s character, Leo, has been described as “A brilliant master thief who sees all the angles, and specializes in plans with no guns and no violence.” Similarly to Jax, should the show get renewed for more seasons, it’d be quite interesting to see what the actor could do with another character that gradually grows and evolves throughout each episode. Not only that but for fans of the Criminal comic book, it’d be even more interesting to see exactly how he’ll adapt and interpret a character from another source material.
