Coronation Street star is worlds away from Weatherfield with forgotten role in blockbuster Marvel series - but do you recognise him?
A Coronation Street star looks worlds away from Weatherfield in a forgotten role from a blockbuster Marvel series.
Mick Michaelis, played by Joe Layton, moved in to Mawdsley Street with his wife Lou (Farrel Hegarty) back in February.
The villainous character has already found himself caught up in drama and has had conflicts with Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) and Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon).
Just last month, he attacked Sean Tully (Antony Cotton).
However, the soap star behind Mick has featured in a blockbuster series - Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Joe played Lieutenant Lucas in the show which follows a team of law enforcement agents as they tackle threats.
Lt Lucas started out an Air Force officer and in the end, was executed by General Hale after he didn't manage to capture S.H.I.E.L.D members Lance Hunter and Leo Fitz.
In his Marvel costume, Joe looks completely different to his soap opera attire and donned a smart suit in the series.
Aphotograph of him in character shows Joe wearing a dark suit and red tie.
His stint on Coronation Street is coming to an end soon, too. It was revealed back in March that Joe would be leaving the cobbles in July.
Joe's role was always supposed to be temporary after he originally joined on a fixed contract for a special storyline, with no 'shock' exit planned.
An insider has since told The Mirror that Mick's character will remain on screen until late July, with the soap source teasing there was 'lots more to come'.
Corrie's Mick and wife Lou have caused quite a stir on the Cobbles with their arrival as they quickly made friends with Chesney and Gemma.
After landing the role, Joe explained that it was a dream come true to join the ITV show.
He said: 'Coronation Street is such an institute in British television and to get to walk down the cobbles in Mick's shoes is so exciting.
'To also do it alongside Farrel is awesome - we are having great fun together and connecting really well whilst developing our characters.
'It also gives the opportunity to get a look behind the curtain of this huge machine and be a small cog within the big picture of Coronation Street and to work alongside people who take such pride in their work.

EXCLUSIVE Davinia Taylor, 47, claims infrared saunas 'saved her life' after she gave up her wild lifestyle for sobriety and biohacking
Davinia Taylor has claimed infrared saunas 'saved her life' after she gave up her wild lifestyle for sobriety and biohacking. In a revealing and unfiltered conversation, the actress and self-described 'biohacker' sat down with the Mail's Bryony Gordon on The Life of Bryony podcast, to discuss her transformation from party girl to wellness advocate. The former Hollyoaks star, 47, opens up about addiction, recovery, motherhood, and her unorthodox health rituals - sharing eyebrow-raising insights into the world of hormone hacking, infrared saunas, and the 'real' causes of brain fog. Davinia, known for her candid social media presence and passion for alternative health, speaks with the same boldness here—claiming certain wellness routines have saved her life and even reversed ageing. With a tone that's equal parts entertaining and controversial, this is one of the most outspoken episodes yet. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Discussing her battle with stress and sobriety, Davinia said she now sits in a £200 infrared sauna nightly to detox her liver and mimic the relaxing effects of wine Discussing her battle with stress and sobriety, Davinia said she now sits in a £200 infrared sauna nightly to detox her liver and mimic the relaxing effects of wine. She explained: 'I sit in there… have some activated charcoal or something, do a proper detox… go to bed, you'll wake up tip-top.' Admitting that wine was her 'drug of choice' she explained: 'I really hit right bottom kind of early doors really. 'I was very much white wine. And drinking. White wine vodka, beer didn't get me as much, but I would take that on a very last course of action. 'And weirdly, nicotine didn't get me either. As soon as I put the drink down, nicotine didn't. 'So I was pretty lucky with that accessibility because alcohol is really accessible, drugs and all. 'So it was pretty easy to access my drug of choice, which was why, why, particularly when Tesco is open 24/7.' 'Addiction is not a choice, by the way. It's a body's way of coping with a certain situation.' PODCAST: Join Bryony Gordon (and a special guest) for your weekly dose of therapy, minus the couch. Listen to all episodes HERE The actress continued: 'And boom, like I said earlier, it's an evil use when we miss match. So for me to be exposed to so much alcohol was just catastrophic for me. 'However, it fast-tracked me into rock bottom and then got me sober very early in life.' Davinia was famed for her position in the notorious Primrose Hill party set, where she joined her then-husband Dave Gardner in partying through the Nineties with pals including Kate Moss, Sadie Frost and Jude Law. After embracing sobriety 16-years ago, becoming a fitness guru and turning her focus to biohacking, Davinia now boasts a bio-age of 26. Biohacking involves making small, strategic scientific-backed changes to habits and behaviours to improve things like cognitive function and weight management. She continued: 'It's like, the body wants to heal. It wants to survive. It doesn't want to punish you. 'It's not judgmental. It's like, f***, okay, we've got rid of that addictive or that inflammatory ingredient, be it food, be it gambling, be it behaviours, be it alcohol, be it drugs, whatever. 'We've got rid of it. Now let's quickly repair and let's crack on with what we were meant to do, which is thrive.' The Life of Bryony: Your twice weekly dose of therapy, minus the couch.

'And the stress and the stress and depression. Yeah, lack of sleep and all that, yeah. OCD, all of that. 'I was convinced that my biological age would be around about 156. And it blew my mind. Lo and behold told me my biological age was 26.' Ever feel like life is a bit…too much?
