Former Dillon Panther, Adrianne Palicki, debuted as Agent Bobbi 'Mockingbird' Morse on last night's Agents of SHIELD. She's currently Hydra's security chief and Coulson's inside woman.

"Bobbi Morse is a well-seasoned spy whose ability to slip in and out of undercover situations seamlessly will prove invaluable to our team," said "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Executive Producer, Jed Whedon. "But her appearance comes as a gut-punch to Hunter, as the history they share is complicated to say the least."

First up, it looks like newest SHIELD members, Bobbi 'Mockingbird' Morse and Lance Hunter are going to heading up their own series. The rumors of an Agents of SHIELD spin-off have been circulating for a while, and bringing the super spy, and her on-again/off-again mercenary husband onboard is a move that will closely link these two series. The question remains, what will Mockingbird and Hunter be doing in their spin-off? Will it have something to do with the fallout coming after Avengers: Age of Ultron?

In other Marvel tv news, the man who wrote the screenplay for 12 Years a Slave, John Ridley, is currently working on a secret Marvel project for ABC. While everyone is being tight-lipped about the project, the rumors have started flying. The most likely being an adaptation of Cloak and Dagger or, even more exciting, Marvel's newest hot commodity Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan). There's no news as to how this will affect Agent Carter, which is on the bubble of cancelation following a decline in ratings.

Just in time for sweeps, Marvel is bringing one of their big screen characters to the TV to help out Coulson and his crew on Marvel: Agents of SHIELD. Back for her second appearance, and fresh off of the final season of How I Met Your Mother, Cobie Smulders will be donning the uniform as Agent Maria Hill once again on April 29th.

Audiences just saw Agent Hill helping Director Fury and The Falcon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. How will her presence on SHIELD change after the events ending that particular summer blockbuster? Also, now the HIMYM is done, should we expect to see Agent Hill more regularly as Agents of SHIELD continues?

Amy Acker is regular name thrown around the Whedonverse. The actress has appeared in several Whedon projects including The Cabin in The Woods, Dollhouse, Angel and most recently, opposite SHIELD's own Clark Gregg in Much Ado About Nothing. Whedon fans rejoice, for Amy is set to join the cast of Marvel's Agnets of SHIELD for at least one episode as Agent Coulson's unrequited love, a cellist from Portland.

The character was briefly mentioned in The Avengers and was brought up when Coulson was strolling through Tahiti laden memories earlier this season. The cellist thinks he's dead, but he'll have to protect her from afar when a super-powered threat emerges.
