The latest photos from the set of Inhumans in Hawaii have found their way online and in them, we get our first proper look at Serinda Swan as Medusa. Her costume is somewhat unremarkable, but that could be because it's what she just wears while in our world or during informal occasions. It is at least purple, though! Her hair, on the other hand, is definitely red but...there's not much of it!
As you can see below, the actress is rocking a shaved head and while what's there is clearly red, that's not exactly the flowing red locks we're used to seeing during the character's comic book adventures.
Might it be added with CGI? That's likely, but why shave Swan's head if that's the case? What if this version of the character has energy beams or something which come from her head rather than hair?
Time will tell, and while I liked Iron Fist, showrunner Scott Buck appeared to shy away from that hero's mystical background because he feared audiences not embracing it. Could he have done away with Medusa's living hair for similar reasons or might there be another explanation for this change? We'll have to wait and see, but it's fair to say that this isn't what any of us were expecting to see!
