Meanwhile, Jessica herself has opened up about the new role, revealing that it taught her a vital lesson about "knowing your limits."
"A real sign of just coming into your own and growing up is that you know that you can say no. Learning to say no is really hard. And I think with Panic, it's wrapped up in high-stakes fear," she told Comic Book Resources.
"You got to say yes. You got to jump off this cliff. You got to do this crazy stuff. But in the heart of it, with these teens, they have an option to turn away, to say, 'You know what? This is too much. I don't want to do it.' I mean, in reality, you should do that."

The Swansea-born actress, who viewers might also recognise from Godless and horror film Split, added: "And then in kind of a general life thing, learning to say no is important and being comfortable with it and not being pushed around; because being brave doesn't mean you have to do the craziest thing."
