Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD

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.

Agents of SHIELD picks up following the conclusion of the battle of New York, with the public fully aware of the existence of superheroes and aliens. What they don’t know, though, is that Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) has assembled a group of agents from the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division with the intention of going after The Rising Tide, an as-yet-unknown enemy group who could pose a serious threat going forward. Their first task toward bringing down the mysterious organization is to track down a man who has acquired supernatural powers that could leave behind a trail of devastation and destruction, should they fail to act soon enough.

In addition to Gregg, Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD stars Ming-Na Wen (SGU Stargate Universe) as Agent Melinda May, an ace pilot and weapons expert; Brett Dalton (Killing Lincoln) as black ops specialist Agent Grant Ward; Chloe Bennet (Intercept) as computer hacker Skye; Iain De Caestecker (The Little Vampire) as Agent Leo Fitz, a technology expert; and Elizabeth Henstridge (Delicacy) as life science specialist Agent Jemma Simmons.

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD airs Tuesdays at 8:00 on ABC. You can check out a promo for the second episode, titled “0-8-4,” below.

If you’ve already seen the first episode of Agents of SHIELD, what did you think? Do you think that the series could potentially be a game-changer for the network? Should ABC be repeating it already or should they have given a lower-rated newcomer the exposure?
