'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Casts Absorbing Man!

Just a day ago we heard news that Adrianne Palicki was cast as Mockingbird on this season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for at least one episode. Now we get word that Brian Patrick Wade has been cast to play Carl “Crusher” Creel aka Absorbing Man.

Mockingbird Cast in 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'

They hinted towards this at SDCC with Patton Oswalt's humorous video clip, now its official. Barbara "Bobbie" Morse aka Mockingbird has been cast and the actress playing her is Adrianne Palicki (Supernatural, G.I. Joe, Friday Night Lights.) This isn't her first foray into the televised adventures of superheroes. She was cast as Wonder Woman in the failed NBC pilot by David E. Kelley back in 2011. She was also in the failed WB pilot for Aquaman, as Nadia an evil type character. Now she'll join the amazing cast of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and play an important Marvel character...important to Hawkeye's love life at least.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Casting News

Yesterday we got news from the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. panel at SDCC about some new cast members joining the show. Lucy Lawless (Xena, Battlestar Galactica, Spartacus) will be portraying long time agent Isabelle Hartley. Nick Blood will play a mercenary character named Lance Hunter. Reed Diamond (Dollhouse, 24, Much Ado About Nothing) is going to be the main villain of Season 2, Daniel Whitehall aka Kraken. And with this intro video before the panel started, Patton Oswalt hints at another character we may see.

Marvel Villain Checks into Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Last week on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., still reeling from the aftermath of HYDRA's infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D., we find Coulson's agents being sheltered by Agent Eric Koenig (expertly portrayed by Patton Oswalt.) While they get organized, Agent Garrett (equally as exceptionally played by Bill Paxton) was freeing a whole mess of bad guys from "The Fridge." One of those bad guys was Marcus Daniels, otherwise known to Marvel fans as Blackout.
