The Endgame is a crime heist drama with a cast of veteran actors from all over the world. The series faces the challenge of bringing something truly new to the concept of the heist, a genre that's beginning to redefine the meaning of overplayed. In fact, two of the biggest movies of 2021, Red Notice and Army of the Dead, are also about heists, and so are popular series like Money Heist, Lupin, and Good Girls. Thankfully, the cast as well as the story of The Endgame seem up to the job of standing out despite being yet another story about a heist.
In The Endgame, criminal mastermind Elena Federova is already in custody, yet somehow stays two steps ahead of FBI agent Val Turner. As Elena slowly unveils her plans, she also upends the personal lives of Val and the other law enforcers around her. Unwilling to cooperate with her captors, Elena remains silent about the real reason why she's targeted several banks, as flashbacks from Elena's past paint a clearer picture of her true motives.

The Endgame may be another heist crime drama, but its story puts it in the category of shows that continue to push the limits of the classic twist-driven heist. This wouldn't be possible with The Endgame's stellar cast of characters. Here are the key characters of The Endgame along with the actors who play them.
Firefly and Deadpool 2 veteran Morena Baccarin steps into the role of Elena Federova, the main antagonist/protagonist of The Endgame. Elena is a criminal mastermind who has a huge score to settle. Baccarin also appears in Home Invasion, Gotham, and Sessão de Terapia.
