You could call her Coulson with a very, very dark side!
A ruthless comic book character is making the leap to television in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Saffron Burrows joins the spy game as Victoria Hand on the next episode (November 12th)
Hand was created by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato during their New Avengers run. During the post-Secret Invasion – Dark Reign era, Norman Osborn (Spidey villain Green Goblin) had convinced the U.S. government he was a reformed man and was put in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. which he renamed H.A.M.M.E.R. and he even had his own Dark Avengers (villains masquerading as the fan favorite heroes.) Hand was a S.H.I.E.L.D. accountant promoted to be Osborn’s right hand. After Osborn’s downfall Captain America recruited Hand to work for the Avengers.
From the new shots courtesy Marvel it looks like Hand is a major player within S.H.I.E.L.D. but if she’s anything like her comic book counterpart…Coulson and company should watch out!
Saffron Burrows as Victoria Hand appears on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. next Tuesday, November 12th. This could be a critical episode to watch for future of the series.
