Ming-Na joins SHIELD

[katikat]

Joss Whedon cast Ming-Na in SHIELD: link. She'll be playing Melinda May; "soulful and slightly damaged by her combat experiences, Melinda is an ace pilot, a weapons expert and a soldier who can — and has — gone beyond the call of duty."

She joins Clark Gregg who comes back as Coulson. Though I have no idea if he will be a regular or a recurring or just a guest star in the pilot, if the show takes place after The Avengers or before or who the heck knows when. Whedon said the show will be stand-alone, but what does that mean? No connection to the movies at all? That would be dumb, to be honest. So, who knows *hands*
