Marvel Casts KICK-ASS Actress Lyndsy Fonesca For AGENT CARTER

Marvel has announced another film to television addition to their growing Agent Carter cast. They've added Kick-Ass and Hot Tub Time Machine actress Lyndsy Fonesca to the main lineup as Angie Martinelli. Fonesca is no stranger to holding a weapon being apart of the action series Nikita. The show is actually casting many actors from the movies, which is sort of smart on their part. Considering what happened with Agents of SHEILD getting unknowns for roles didn't exactly help ratings. It's nice to see Marvel hiring another actress with action and weapons experience. However, she'll be playing a waitress and aspiring actress.

Marvel Confirms Shea Whigham For Lead Role In AGENT CARTER

Marvel has confirmed that character actor Shea Whigham has joined the cast of Marvel's Agent Carter on ABC. The role is that of SSR Chief Roger Dooley, a major part for the actor and the show. His time with Boardwalk Empire is over, as the series is wrapping-up with the final season currently airing. Other impressive credits include True Detective, Silver Linings Playbook, Wolf of Wall Street, American Hustle and Knight of Cups. Shea doesn't shy away from genre roles either being apart of Machete, Fast And Furious, Non-Stop and Savages.

This addition certainly overshadows what ever is going on with Agents of SHIELD, and will likely become a series with some very high expectations.
