As Arrow busies itself by introducing the likes of Black Canary and Ra's Al Ghul to audiences, ABC and Marvel are countering that with...Victoria Hand? According to the folks over at Latino-Review, British actress Saffron Burrows will play the character in this season of the show. In the comics, Hand is Norman Osborn's right hand woman when he takes over S.H.I.E.L.D. and re-brands it as H.A.M.M.E.R., but don't expect to see the Sony Pictures owned Green Goblin make an appearance in the Marvel series. Burrows is openly bisexual, while the character of Victoria Hand was revealed to be a lesbian by creator Brian Michael Bendis. Whether this ultimately plays a part during her time in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. remains to be seen. What do you guys think?

I haven't seen one episode of this yet...

I am worrying Marvel has pushed too far with this and it could start the end of the CBMs era

I could say I am scared that they "jumped the shark" here

sweet. Maybe people will eventually shut up about no comic influences on this show. It has been getting much better recently.

Yes yes yes.
So excited! Finally a cool comic character in the show.

I hope they don't "straighten" her out.

Arrow buried this show? You mean the arrow that everyone said was horrible including DC fans right up until AOS was aired? Now its the greatest thing of all time? Give me a break. Its on its second season, with a superhero, it should bury this show. But it hasn't.

WHO THE HELL IS THIS!!!!????!!!!!

You'd think Agent's of SHIELD (a Marvel owned tv show) doesn't have access to Marvel's countless roaster of characters for this cheezefest of a show.

Turn it off.

No Omega I haven't yet watched an episode, part of it cause I wait for them to come out in bluray

I just hope they do a quality job there cause it could be easy after that for non fans to stop paying attention to CB related screen adaptations

@ B&Y

I appreciate the gif mate :)

Henry Cavill banged that ass on Showtime's The Tudors.

In any case, Victoria Hand? I'll counter that with Amanda Waller on Arrow.

Correction: Saffron wasn't on The Tudors. I'm thinking of Gabrielle Anwar.

@nowtheresaBATman

See above. I've issued a correction.
Henry and Jonathan were quite the lotharios on that show (Jonathan moreso than Henry).

Could be awesome. Have her send that letter to Fury just like in the comic books. She gets fired, loses her lesbian lover and becomes a disgruntled ex employee that goes to work for Hydra or Aim or something.

Spoiler if you haven't seen DEEP BLUE SEA...





She had one of the two most surprising death scenes in DEEP BLUE SEA, the other being SLJ.
