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?
