Our Take On The Canary Black Trailer
Ray Stevenson Is Canary Black’s Main Appeal
Canary Black’s trailer is reminiscent of many previous action thrillers, butStevenson’s casting is enough of a reason to watch it. His performance asformer Jedi Baylan Skollwas one of the strongest elements ofAhsoka,as he brought a riveting gravitas to the role and the entire series. From playing Titus Pollo in HBO’s prematurely canceledRometo portraying Volstagg in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Stevenson excels in all of his roles, and this will undoubtedly continue inCanary Black.
