In a world full of heroes and villains, Hudgens will play insurance claims adjuster Emily Locke. Keeping to herself and helping others throughout her job, she becomes irritated by the superhumans in her city and thinks it's time for a career change.
The casting announcement comes after Marvel revealed it was developing its own superhero comedy series called Damage Control, focusing on a team who have to clean up the messes superhero battles leaves behind.
After receiving fantastic reviews for her role as Rizzo in Grease Live!, this will be Hudgens first series regular role and could really break her into the world of small screen acting.
Ben Queen wrote the show and will executive produce alongside Michael Patrick Jann, who'll direct the pilot episode.
