Hugo Strange, one of the oldest villains in Batman lore, is finally coming to Fox’s Gotham. The character will by played by B.D. Wong and the first image of the character was released on Feb. 8.
“What [he] is doing in there is indeed very, very bad,” Wong told TV Insider, which first shared the photo of the actor in the role. “Imagine the worst thing someone might do. Then multiply that by 10.”
Strange is the mad scientist now running Arkham Asylum in Gotham. At the end of the first half of the second season, Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) was admitted.
“He is never the same from the moment he walks through the door,” Wong said of the Penguin.
Wong nabbed the recurring role in October. He’s best known for his role on Law & Order: SVU and was the only member of the original Jurassic Park cast to appear in last year’s Jurassic World.
The second half of Gotham’s second season will also feature the return of Jada Pinkett-Smith, along with Paul Reubens, Nathan Darrow, Michael Bowen and Lori Petty. The show stars Ben McKenzie as Jim Gordon and David Mazouz as Bruce Wayne.
Gotham finally returns on Monday, Feb. 29.
