‘Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD’ Casts Amy Acker As…

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD has added another Whedonverse veteran to the cast in Amy Acker.

Acker will appear in at least one episode of the superhero-sized drama as Audrey, the famous cellist first mentioned in The Avengers as the love of Agent Coulson’s life.  Living as a musician in Portland – and a talented one at that – Audrey of course still believes Coulson to be dead and has no idea that he has been guarding her from a distance as a super-powered threat from her past reappears.

Audrey, who has previously been a nameless cellist, was previously mentioned earlier this season when Raina leaked to Coulson that his former lover had cried for days after his death.

Acker is currently a series regular on Person of Interest.  Her previous television credits include Whedon’s Dollhouse and Angel, as well as spots on Once Upon a Time and Alias.

Acker’s episode is currently set to air on Tuesday, April 22nd.
