Joss Whedon's 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' Pilot Casts ER Alum Ming-Na in Lead Role

http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/10/24/joss-whedon-shield-ming-na/

ER alum Ming-Na Wen has just entered the Whedonverse.

The actress has just landed a lead role in the forthcoming Avengers spin-off TV series S.H.I.E.L.D., from cult fave Joss Whedon, EW has confirmed. She will play Agent Melinda May, a kick-ass pilot and weapons expert.

The series, set to focus on superspy operation established in the Marvel universe, received a pilot order from ABC back in August and, as expected, has generated a lot of buzz. Most recently, Avengers nuts were stunned by confirmation that Clark Gregg’s Agent Phil Coulson — thought to be dead after the Avengers film — would return in the show. (Rumors of his return had been swirling.)

Since her days on ER, Ming-Na Wen has contributed to a number of genre projects, including voice work in The Batman animated series, a role on Stargate Universe, and a part on Eureka.

Deadline first reported the news.

Anyone really looking forward to this show?

Yeah I am not really aware of her but I look forward to the show.

I will give it a chance

I like the Avengers and stuff

It will be intresting to see if they actually have Avengers or other superheros cross over in the show now and then will help it draw better ratings.
