Ming Na (Mulan, E.R, Stargate Universe) has signed up to
play Agent Melinda May; described as “Soulful and slightly damaged by her
combat experiences, Melinda is an ace pilot, a weapons expert and a soldier who
can — and has — gone beyond the call of duty.” Those of you with sharp memories
will likely recall that the character was original called “Agent Althea Rice,
aka The Calvary”.
Ming-Na is was one of many fine actors in the annoyingly
short-lived Stargate Universe; we can only hope that this show retains that
ones will to do things with some depth and quality, but has better luck than
Joss Whedon is used to when it comes to get cancelled. Ming-Na will doubtless
continue Whedon’s tradition of very strong female characters, from Buffy to
River Tm to his excellent writing and directing of The Black Widow in The
Avengers. Still no word on when this show is et, or in which Universe. (The
same one as the films, or a different one where Clark Gregg’s agent Coulson
never got killed by Loki.)
