Michelle Gomez has been cast in the third season of Doom Patrol as the villain, Madame Rouge. Michelle Gomez is a fan favorite character actress who has made a name for herself in genre fiction portraying the female incarnation, Missy, on Doctor Who, and was the villainous Madame Satan on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. She was most recently seen on the Golden Globe-nominated, The Flight Attendant, and seems to be sticking with HBO Max as she joins the upcoming season of the Doom Patrol.
Doom Patrol is based on the long-running DC comic series of the same name that premiered on the DC Universe streaming service back in 2019 to critical acclaim, for its weirdness and emotionally heartfelt moments. Season 2 of the series aired on both DC Universe and HBO Max and ended on a massive cliffhanger as they were one episode away from the season finale before the COVID-19 pandemic forced production to stop. The series was renewed for a third season that will air exclusively on HBO Max, and now a new villain joins the fight.
According to Bleeding Cool, Michelle Gomez has been cast in the role of Madame Rouge in the series' upcoming third season. Madame Rouge is described as a complicated and electrifying eccentric who arrives at Doom Manor with a very specific mission, but has no memory of. Gomez will be a series regular on the show's third season of Doom Patrol.
Madame Rouge was introduced in the pages of DC Comics back in 1964 in Doom Patrol #86. She was a French actress, who, after a car crash suffered a split personality. Doom Patrol villain, the Brain, and his partner, Monsieur Mallah, performed surgery on her that kept her evil personality as the dominant one and has gone on to be a major villain for the Doom Patrol as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil. She posses elasticity that allows her to stretch her body parts to any size and allows her to shapeshift into any appearance she chooses.
Madame Rouge's history suggests she will be positioned as a foil for Rita Farr (April Bowlby) this season. Both are actresses who possess elasticity as a power. Rita can morph her body but hasn't quite learned how to control her shapeshifting abilities. Rita is currently on the journey to mastering her abilities and wanting to become a superhero, so a villain with similar powers could help Rita grow as a character. Madame Rouge having a split personality also could put her as a foil to Jane (Diane Guerrero) this season. Madame Rouge's appearance also suggests that season 3 might see the introduction of the Brain and the Brotherhood of Evil. The Brotherhood of Evil was referenced by Mr. Nobody in the first season of Doom Patrol and before he gained his powers, he was fired from the Brotherhood of Evil by the Brain and replaced with an intelligent french gorilla, a reference to Monsieur Mollah. Madame Rouge's introduction seems to hint that the team's greatest enemy might be coming for them in the third season.
