Not long ago we shared the news from San Diego Comic Con that none other than Bobbi Morse, aka Mockingbird, would be joining the cast of Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” in its second season, and it was news that was well received by many because, let’s be honest, Bobbi can be pretty badass. As a big West Coast Avengers fan, she was one of my faves growing up, and she’s a highly capable badass when she’s not a Skrull or a dead Skrull or whatever exactly happened to her for twenty years or so.
Today, the character was officially cast, as the former near-Wonder Woman Adrianne Palicki (most notably of “Friday Night Lights” fame) was brought in to fill her enormous sleeves. She’ll be joining the show in the second season’s fifth episode and…well, I am less excited my Palicki than I am the idea of Mockingbird in a TV show. I actually have pretty limited experience with her, but from what little I’ve seen she’s a solid but unspectacular actress. Perhaps she’s just waiting for the right part though, and Bobbi? She’s a hell of a role.
“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” returns September 23rd. Get pumped, America.
