Some casing news for Wheadon’s upcoming S.H.I.E.L.D. tv series thanks to CinemaBlend.
The Hollywood Reporter shared the news today that Elizabeth Henstridge and Iain De Caestecker have joined the pilot, playing Leo and Gemma (they’re going with a “G” instead of a “J” here). Gemma is described as a science whiz, while Leo is the tech guru and it’s said that they bicker with each other, all of which fits with the previously mentioned character descriptions.
The character descriptions are pretty generic but that’s to be expected. I’m surprised at the youngness of the casting here though considering these are full fledge agents. Is this a trend and this will be a mostly young cast going for the 20-30 demo or just these two characters? I guess we’ll see.
