'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' is looking to the pages of Marvel Comics as the ABC show heads into its second season. Not only is the show introducing foe The Absorbing Man and the heroine Mockingbird but also S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Isabelle Hartley. Hartley, who will be played by Spartacus actress Lucy Lawless will have a history with SH.I.E.L.D. boss Phil Coulson. Maurissa Tancharoen says the pair share more of a
'mutual respect' than a romantic past. Fellow EP Jed Whedon hinted that Isabelle Hartley might just be the same Isabelle who dated the now deceased boss of The Hub, Victoria Hand saying '
there is always a chance.' Could she have revenge on her mind following Victoria Hands death? Whedon does however say that
'when we meet her, she might not necessarily be on the right side of things'.
With Felicity receiving an episode devoted to her in Arrow's third season, Executive Producer Marc Guggenhiem has revealed that the 6th episode of the season '
is very much a Roy centric episode that deals very directly with Roys place on the team and particularly Oliver's relationship with Roy.' This might just be the episode in which Roy finds out he killed someone last season, or does he adopt the Arsenal mantle for good? In regards to Roy's place on the team, Guggenheim says that after a turbulent season for Roy, he's on equal footing with Felicity and Diggle.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns to ABC on the 23rd of September with Arrow airing on October 8th on The CW.
