“Is Daxter still going, or is this a prequel?” — Fans poke fun as David Dastmalchian joins ‘Dexter: Resurrection.’

The Dexter universe just won’t stay dead, and honestly, we’re not mad about it. With Dexter: Resurrection on the way, the cast list is stacking up like Morgan’s kill table, and the latest addition is none other than David Dastmalchian.

Known for his delightfully creepy roles in The Suicide Squad and Oppenheimer, Dastmalchian seems like a perfect fit for Morgan, which is probably a compliment in the context of this show. But what got the internet buzzing wasn’t just his casting, it was the sheer, unhinged star power of the entire lineup.

Dexter: Resurrection Cast Announcement Sends Fans Into a Frenzy

A simple post announcing Dastmalchian’s casting alongside Michael C. Hall, Eric Stonestreet, Peter Dinklage, Uma Thurman, Krysten Ritter, David Zayas, Jack Alcott, and James Remar was enough to set social media on fire.

Because, let’s be honest, this lineup looks less like a crime thriller and more like an Avengers crossover event that no one saw coming. Naturally, fans had thoughts, and they weren’t going to keep them to themselves.

One fan couldn’t help but question the timeline of this whole thing, asking:

"Is Daxter still going, or is this a prequel?"

It’s a fair question. At this point, Dexter has more resurrections than a comic book superhero, and we’re all just along for the ride.

Another fan (@debayo_xx) pointed out the FBI might want to tune in for this one not because of the crime aspect, but because the cast itself is looking that suspicious.

"With a lineup like this, even the FBI might tune in."

Honestly, if the Bureau wasn’t keeping an eye on him before, they probably should be now.

One user perfectly captured the internet’s reaction to this ever-expanding cast list:

"Them: Every time you think they’re done stacking the cast for Dexter Resurrection but wait... there’s more!"

At this point, the showrunners might as well drop a surprise cameo from Meryl Streep just for fun.

Then there was the classic Dastmalchian moment. Because let’s face it, his characters always have something going on. One fan (@NedFred119360) immediately jumped to conclusions about his role:

"That guy is perfect as the main serial killer, wow lol."

No offense to Dastmalchian, but if you’ve seen him act, this kind of assumption just feels... right.

And then, the simplest yet most effective reaction of them all:

Truly, the casting department deserves a Michelin star for whatever master chef-level decision-making led to this ensemble.

If the fan reactions are anything to go by, Dexter: Resurrection is already shaping up to be a wild one. Whether it’s a prequel, sequel, reboot, or some multiverse madness where Morgan is secretly a Marvel villain, we don’t know but we do know that people are watching.

And let’s be real if they add even one more A-lister to this cast, we might start suspecting Morgan isn’t the only one pulling strings behind the scenes.
