First look at Gillian Anderson as Media

The actress tweeted a photo of herself in character as Media, a new god who thrives off attention and takes the form of various celebrities and pop culture icons, seen here manifesting as Marilyn Monroe. Anderson first teased the persona in June with an out-of-focus shot that zeroed in on her ruby-red nails. Now, she reveals a clear look at the bombshell’s signature waves and iconic white dress.

In the Neil Gaiman novel, Media’s most memorable appearance is as a foul-mouthed Lucille Ball. Gaiman has confirmed that the Starz adaptation will see Media take the guise of the famous redheaded comedian, but showrunners Bryan Fuller, and Michael Green are throwing at least one new manifestation into the mix.
