The site has speculated that the roles in question could be those of Dr. Karl Malus (Dr. Kirby), Paladin/Paul Denning (Presley), Otis Johnson (Oliver), Ian Soo or Typhoid Mary (Ingrid), but of course – if genuine – these could also be completely new additions rather than existing comic book characters.
