Considering that the premise of Altered Carbon is about people who can change into different bodies called "sleeves," it makes sense that some of the characters from season 1 will have new faces.

Anthony Mackie -- best known for his role as Sam Wilson/Falcon in Captain America: Civil War and the Avengers movies -- will play the lead character, mercenary Takeshi Kovacs. Actor Joel Kinnaman originally played the character in season 1.

Simone Missick -- who played Detective Misty Knight in the Netflix Marvel shows The Defenders, Luke Cage and Iron Fist -- joins as the character Trepp.

Dina Shihabi, who played Neda Kazemi in Daredevil, is a new character named Dig 301.

Will the erstwhile Marvel actors augment the show, or drag it down?

    I just can't get Mackie's Avengers Sam Wilson/Falcon look, clean and cute baby face, out of my mind and that image just doesn't fit Tak Kovacs...

    ...all the more effective when the "cute baby face" decides to "make it personal" and, well, does what Kovacs does...
