As fans speculated, Jean Smart will be playing former Silk Spectre Laurie Juspeczyk (aka Laurie Blake) in Damon Lindelof's Watchmen series, Lindelof confirmed to IGN at HBO's Television Critics Association presentation on Wednesday.
A new trailer shown to critics at the panel featured a shot of Smart's character, previously rumored to be FBI Agent Blake, juxtaposed against a pop art-style painting of the Minutemen that included a costumed Silk Spectre. In the footage, Agent Blake even admits that she used to dress up in costume and punch bad guys too.
The Comic-Con trailer for Watchmen released this past weekend doesn't include those scenes with Smart but does feature more overt ties to the storyline of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal comic, including several shots of Doctor Manhattan, a shot of Nite Owl's Owlship, more emphasis on Jeremy Irons' Adrian Veidt (aka Ozymandias), and acts of violence being perpetrated by the terrorist group known as the 7th Cavalry, who have co-opted Rorschach's mask for their own political ends.
