Ato Essandoh might not be on Chicago Med as much anymore, but he stars in Marvel’s Wolverine: The Long Night podcast, which has its finale on Wednesday.

While Dr. Isidore Latham hasn’t been seen much in Chicago Med season 4, Ato Essandoh is in a very cool Marvel podcast that’s about to drop its season finale.

Wolverine: The Long Night is an original full-cast audio drama featuring the X-Men character Wolverine when he becomes a suspect in several murders in Alaska.

Ato Essandoh has a supporting role as federal agent Tad Marshall, who’s investigating the serial killer and winds up uncovering much more than he asked for—including the mutant superhero and a local cult.

Richard Armitage (Berlin Station, Hannibal) voices Wolverine/Logan, while Tony Award nominee Celia Keenan-Bolger (The Glass Menagerie) plays Marshall’s partner Sally Pierce.

The voice cast also includes her brother Andrew Keenan-Bolger and Scott Adsit (30 Rock) as the Alaskan law enforcement officers who might be corrupt, and Bob Balaban as Joseph Langrock.

The podcast consists of ten half-hour chapters. Chicago Med fans can catch up with the first nine installments for free on the Wolverine: The Long Night website, or download episodes to take with you on iTunes, Stitcher and Google Podcasts.

It’s a really unique project, and great fun if you’re an X-Men, Marvel or comic book fan. There aren’t a lot of audio dramas these days, and this one is incredibly well-cast. Armitage makes a wonderful Wolverine, and it’s great to hear Ato Essandoh in a role that’s so different from Dr. Latham.

While it doesn’t seem likely that we’ll see him back running the cardiothoracic surgery department in the future, he’s got a lot of cool stuff going on. Aside from Wolverine: The Long Night, he’s part of the cast for the upcoming CBS drama The Code, which will premiere at midseason.

But before that starts, will Agent Marshall be able to catch the killer he’s searching for or get killed in the process?
