Shahi will play a university professor and freedom fighter leading the resistance in the fictional nation of Kahndaq. Previously, the producers announced that Aldis Hodge has been cast as 'Hawkman' and Noah Centineo as 'Atom Smasher' -both members of DC's Justice Society, reported Variety.


Currently, Shahi is shooting the Netflix series 'Sex/Life.' Her credits include the Showtime series 'City on a Hill,' 'The Rookie,' 'Reverie,' 'Person of Interest,' 'The L Word' and 'Fairly Legal.'
