Chella Man Joins Titans Season 2 as Deathstroke’s Son Jericho Wilson

Following the recent addition of Esai Morales as Deathstroke, DC Entertainment has announced that 20 year-old model and social media influencer Chella Man has signed on to portray the role of Deathstroke’s son Jericho Wilson in the upcoming second season of DC Universe’s Titans. Man gained recognition through posting videos and blogs on Social Media as he openly spoke about his gender transition and what its like living as a deaf, genderqueer, Chinese and Jewish young adult.

Season 2 will mark Man’s acting debut. His official character description reads:

“Son of the infamous DC villain Deathstroke (played by Esai Morales), Joseph Wilson is the Titan known as Jericho. Mute after his father failed to rescue him from having his vocal cords severed by assassins, Jericho has the unique ability to possess anyone just by making eye contact. This gentle natured yet proud hero has proven himself a formidable Titan.”

In the comics, Jericho has the power to take control over any humanoid beings he can make eye contact with. He can control his target’s voluntary motor functions and can speak through the host’s body he/she is unconscious.

Titans follows a group of young heroes from across the DC Universe as they come of age and find belonging in a gritty take on the classic Teen Titans franchise. Dick Grayson and Rachel Roth, a special young girl possessed by a strange darkness, get embroiled in a conspiracy that could bring Hell on Earth. Joining them along the way are the hot-headed Starfire and loveable Beast Boy. Together they become a surrogate family and team of heroes.

The series stars Brenton Thwaites (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) as Dick Grayson/Robin, Teagan Croft (Home and Away) as Raven, Anna Diop (24: Legacy) as Koriand’r/Starfire, Alan Ritchson (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) & Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights) as Hawk and Dove, Bruno Bichir as Dr. Niles Caulder, and Lindsey Gort as Police Detective Amy Rohrbach.

From Weed Road Pictures and Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, Titans is one of the all-new exclusive original live-action series coming soon to DC UNIVERSE. It comes from executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter.

In the action-packed series, Dick Grayson emerges from the shadows to become the leader of a fearless band of new heroes, including Starfire, Raven and many others.
