Interesting casting i want to see more and how she will be connected to Cal.
ReplyDelete"Gifted"
ReplyDeleteSo she's an Inhuman? They used similar terminology for Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver (who are now Inhumans).
Interesting casting. Looking forward to seeing her on the show.
ReplyDeleteoh my god yeeesssss i love her so much
ReplyDeleteDang, they're really lining up a ton of great guest stars this season.
ReplyDeleteOoo I love her!! As always when a new AOS character is announced I googled the name to see if they have a comics counterpart and Karla Faye Gideon is in the comics but as a minor minor character and with no powers, sometimes they just like to use the character names. Though she does have a connection with Daredevil which is interesting.
ReplyDeleteI miss her since Desperate Housewives.
ReplyDeleteYes! I love Drea.
ReplyDeleteGifted is just the term used to describe anyone with powers in the MCU.
ReplyDeleteLately they pretty much ad interesting people in the casting (sorry if my sentence doesn't soud English) Holy crap "join forces with Cal" knowing Skye/Daisy's father that doesn't souds good.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she'll show up on Netflix's DareDevil too!
ReplyDeleteLove her so YAY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be great if they did have supporting characters crossover.
ReplyDeleteDamn, so many awesome people are coming onto the show! Hopefully this will give SHIELD a little bit of a boost ;)
ReplyDeleteJoining forces with Cal. I guess he's going to hold a grudge against Coulson for Whitehall. I wonder if she might be the woman with the agents surrounding her in one of the promos?
ReplyDeleteDrea de Matteo should be a very interesting addition to the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. cast! Really looking forward to the second half of the season!
ReplyDeletePretty good actress-Great choice.Can't wait!
