Share on Reddit
A Whedonverse vet has stealthily invaded Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D.

ABC declined to comment, but sources confirm to TVLine that Joss Whedon — who is shepherding ABC’s Avengers-themed drama — has cast his former Angel charge J. August Richards in a super top-secret role.

    Ok, now I'm a little conflicted. If Whedon is doing what he usually does and recruited people he apparently like to work with, I'd love to see Amy Acker be a regular in a show again... but being a regular on an ABC show would mean she wouldn't be able to play Root on Person of Interest.

    Sigh... but anyway Richards is pretty good. Love to see what he can bring to the show.

    I can handle having Amy Acker on two shows :P


    And since she is not becoming a lead in POI any time soon there should be no problems ;]

    Actually networks tend to not like their stars to guest star on rival networks. If Amy Acker stars on an ABC show I seriously doubt she'll be allowed to guest star on CBS.

  12. So...? He's IN the promo.

  13. Nice to see Gunn once again! It'd be great to see Alexis Denishof in some capacity. I haven't seen him in anything since the Hplus web series

  14. My least favorite Angel alum. Oh well, he's still great though! :)

  15. The rumor is that the person is particularly suited to the role. I think his spot in the past isn't at the core of it.

    My Guess at his super top-secret role.


    Cant wait to see Gunn back in action.

  17. YAY Gunn!!! Seeing Weddonite vets is never a bad thing.

    (I still think he should cast Enver and Diechen in everything though. I just get so pumped every time Enver shows up during all my Avengers rewatching.)
