Black Lightning promotes Chantal Thuy to series regular

Deadline

“Chantal Thuy embodies the character of Grace Choi,” says showrunner Salim Akil of Thuy's promotion. In an interview with Deadline, Thuy says: "When I read the role, I was blown away by Grace’s playful wit, her strength and the fact that she was actually written as an Asian American superhero, which is still rare to this day. I knew it was a role that would be really fun to play. My interest was also piqued because I had never seen an all-Black superhero series on The CW before, and I thought that was a really interesting and important story to explore."
