Natalia Cordova-Buckley To Play 'Slingshot' In AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 3

The Secret Warriors look set to make their presence felt in a major way in the midseason finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the team is going to be adding another member next year when Slingshot joins Quake and the rest of this crew of budding superheroes. Read on for details...

According to Point of Geeks, Natalia Cordova-Buckley (McFarland, USA) has joined the cast of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Yo Yo Rodriguez, a character you'll know better as Secret Warriors member Slingshot. It hasn't been revealed when exactly she'll show up in the series, but the site adds that the actress is set to begin work on the series in January, so we won't be seeing her until the show returns in March. For those of you unfamiliar with Slingshot, she's a speedster similar to The Flash and Quicksilver. However, the difference here is that she ends up always returning to the spot where she activated her powers, hence the name! That could be a lot of fun to explore in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and makes her stand out from the heroes mentioned above. What do you guys think?

Weird power.

Hopefully the VFX team takes some notes from Flash.

Definitely a lot more interesting than Joey and his crappy melting powers.

Nice! I'm glad they are actually using characters from the Secret Warriors. She'll add a good dynamic. Not sure we'll get Stonewall, unless he is going to be Mack.

A rare female speedster and with a weird yo-yo gimmick. Mmmmkay. I just want them to start calling her Quake.

I kind of see Mack as possibly becoming Gauntlet: http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Joseph_Green_(Earth-616)

I mean, the good guys racing Hydra to reclaim pieces of an alien battle suit, and part of it fusing with the big black guy who acts with military professionalism? That would fit right in on this show.

Secret Warriors!!!! It's about time!
Where's Ward's little brother Thomas, that his mom treated so "special?"
Is he inhuman?
If so, is Grant?
Ward could be HELLFIRE...

Awesome! she has a neat power and was also the one of the original team that i thought had the best chance of being used :D

@GliderMan

i think it was a deal where he works for them willingly but he has some triggers so if he gets out of line they can control him with the brainwashing. i could be wrong though

@kurtwagner1225 Do you think Ward is Hellfire? He did torch his family's home.

We better get Speedball/Penance eventually. He's the best character in the group.

I wonder if they will make her the daughter of Griffin, like the comics, because remember Garrett did reference Griffin in Season 1 as being arrested by SHIELD....

@Cles
Not sure about Stonewall? You are aware Agents of SHIELD is where the MCU introduced Absorbing Man right?

@GliderMan No. Sebastian Druid uses magic. Even moreso later. His father was tutored by The Ancient One as a candidate for Sorcerer Supreme before it was ultimately decided that Strange would take on the mantle.

@ScionStorm

I am. I am also aware that the actor that they got to play him doesn't look old enough to have a son Stonewall's age. Hence "not sure we'll get".
