Charlie is a young girl who struggles to control her powers, which are tied to her emotions. Her parents have been trying to teach her ways to calm herself down if she feels like she is losing control, but she hasn’t been able to master that. Unfortunately, as she gets older, her emotions (and abilities) get stronger and harder to control, which sc...
Charlie’s father, Andy, is played by Zac Efron (The Greatest Showman). He has a weak form of telepathy that he refers to as his “push” and it allows him to persuade people to do things. It’s similar to the Jedi mind trick (“these are not the droids you’re looking for,”) but again, it’s not very strong, and it physically drains him to use this power...
Sydney Lemmon (Helstrom) is playing Vicky, Charlie’s mother and Andy's wife. She met him when she was in college, after the two of them woke up in a recovery room after being injected with Lot 6. She also gained powers from the injection, in the form of telekinesis. Like Andy, her abilities are weak, and they take a toll on her. She is able to move...

The original Captain Hollister was portrayed by Martin Sheen (The Departed). Despite slight changes to the character, the role Reuben plays in the movie remains the same. Captain Hollister is the head of The Sho...
John Rainbird (Michael Greyeyes) is the assassin that Captain Hollister sends out to capture Charlie and Andy. He works below the radar and answers only to Hollister. We don’t get to see too much of this character in the trailer, but he is possibly the greatest physical threat to Charlie and her father. In the original movie, his character was mena...
While Charlie and Andy are on the run, they are taken in by kindly farmer Irv Manders (John Beasley) and his wife Norma. They aren’t sure what the father and daughter are fleeing from, but welcome them into their home regardless, offering them beds and hot meals; much needed resources for Charlie and Andy. When Andy tells Irv what’s going on, Irv a...
