This news comes after it was previously confirmed that Power: Raising Kanan star Mekai Curtis would reprise his role as young Kanan Stark. Alright, so there are so many questions, and it’s already got everybody and their mom at the edge of their seat with anticipation. For starters, who’s playing young Tasha and young Angela? What’s the full backstory there?

So many questions for this new series, and it’s sure to deliver a much more in-depth perspective. This perspective will focus on the lives of these iconic characters. It’s going to be so dope seeing their early days and the events that shaped them into the individuals we know. In the meantime, we are eagerly awaiting more information about the series. This includes when the show is actually going to start the creation process.

The question debated on social media the most is whether or not the stars of the new series “look like” the grown-up versions of the characters they’re playing. People are also curious if they can be convincing enough in the roles.

Let’s hope, because aye, if I were them, I’d be asking Omari and Joseph for all the training and tips possible. It’s not going to be easy to live up to the expectations. Best of luck to both of those dudes; they sure have some huge shoes to fill.
