澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Trek: Discovery season 3 has cast the intergalactic franchise's first-ever non-binary and transgender characters. Blu del Barrio will play the non-binary Adira, while Ian Alexander – who you may recognise from Netflix's The OA and who performed motion capture as Lev in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us Part 2 – will play the trans character Gray.

"Adira is a wonde🐭rfully complex character," Barrio teased of their role to . "Mainly because of this duality they have within them: they're astonishingly intelligent and yet they're stil🐎l a kid. They experience their emotions at a heightened level, like most teenagers. That's what makes them so fun to play. 

"I like to describe them as cerebrally brilliant and emotionally a puppy. Adira is an introvert, but they keep a few people close to the chest, which I definitely 𒆙resonate with. I don't want to say too much and get in trouble, but all in all, Adira is a uniquely strange and beautiful character."

Barrio added that we will first meet Adira when they are🌊 suffering from memory loss.  "They remember nothing from their past, and very little about themself," Barrio continued. "They know they're non-binary, of course, but coming onto Discovery they're cautious about sharing that information with anyone. They're a private person, so they aren't going to divulge a lot about themselves to a ship full of strangers. It's not until Adira has found a place of comfort with Stamets and Culber that they fe🌃el they can talk about who they are."

Alexander's character, Gray, is being kept under wraps. Star Trek: Discovery season 3 returns later this year on October 15, 2020. We learnt a fair bit about the new series at Comic-Con earlier this year – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:get the rundown here.
